A new wire EDM machine at Wall Colmonoy Limited (UK) will increase capacity, improve cycle times, and achieve tighter tolerances and improved surface finishes for its precision cast machined components.
The Sodick ALC800G Wire EDM machine has the latest digital innovations in generator technologies and, with the use of advanced electrode materials, it achieves faster speeds, greater precision, and improved accuracy with a Z height of 800mm.
This capability will support many industries such as food, pump & valves, steel, oil & gas, and rubber to cut such cast components like bushes, gears, pump bodies, pump plates, transfer screws and more.
One of the most advanced machines on the market, the ALC800G has X/Y/Z axis travel of 600 x 500mm x 800mm and a U/V axis travel of 200 x 200mm. The maximum workpiece weight of 3.0 kg.
“We are proud to offer our customers the highest level of precision and accuracy afforded by this machine. We can offer more complex programmes and are able to transfer customer DXF files/drawings directly to the machine for seamless setup and start,” said David Wilmer, Production Manager UK, Precision Components.
