GF Machining Solutions Unveils CUT F 600: A New Era in Thermally Stable Wire EDM Technology
Global – GF Machining Solutions (GFMS), a leading global provider of EDM, milling, laser, and additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, has launched the CUT F 600, a thermally stable wire EDM machine that sets new standards for precision, productivity, and process reliability. This innovative machine is ideal for component and mould tool manufacturers, offering an optimal balance between accuracy and high surface finishes while driving efficiency in manufacturing processes.
The CUT F 600 stands out for its ability to automatically identify and adapt wire speed during the cutting process, enhancing productivity and process stability. The machine’s advanced design incorporates the Uniqua control system, Intelligent Spark Protection System (ISPS), and the highly efficient iWire intelligent functions, ensuring seamless integration of automation, control, and precision for a wide range of machining needs. Additionally, the radio frequency identification (RFID) Smart Wire system offers enhanced wire management and performance tracking.
One of the key innovations of the CUT F 600 is the iWire function, which automatically adjusts the wire speed to accommodate changing erosion height conditions throughout the EDM process. This smart functionality significantly reduces wire breakage, optimizes wire consumption, and ensures consistently high-quality cutting results. The iWire system works in tandem with the ISPS, and both functions are easily managed via the Uniqua control, offering a user-friendly interface for operators.
The CUT F 600 also incorporates cutting-edge features such as vibration control, thermal stabilisation, and precise machine movements. For improved accuracy, the machine uses high-precision machine ballscrews, enhancing positioning accuracy and smooth operation. Additionally, the work tank and dielectric fluid cooling system ensure the machine’s axis optical encoders remain at optimal temperatures, improving overall process stability and reliability.
The Uniqua control system features a 19-inch vertical touchscreen, full keyboard, and mouse, creating an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI). It also supports legacy file types from various EDM manufacturers and includes both offline and at-the-machine programming capabilities. With ISO-based functionality, object-oriented programming, and integrated CAM compatibility, the CUT F 600 is fully compatible with all major CAD/CAM programs, offering a versatile solution for the modern machining environment.
GF Machining Solutions continues to lead the industry in advanced technology solutions, providing global manufacturers with state-of-the-art tools designed to drive efficiency, precision, and innovation in machining operations worldwide.
