AccuteX EDM, a Division of Absolute Machine Tools, Inc. will exhibit several EDMs in its IMTS booth, ranging from three to five axes and with a full range of features. “Recent studies of EDM users have found that almost half of each EDM-focused job shop will perform simpler work, requiring no more than three axes,” said an AccuteX spokesperson. “As such, AccuteX will present its new EZ-53SA 3-axis CNC wire model. Its X, Y, Z work envelope is 19. 7 x 11.8 x 7.1 inches. Featuring an AWT (Automatic Wire Threader) and the advanced Windows-based CE control, it can accommodate more than the average jobs that come into a shop. The specific machine at the IMTS will have the optional 4th axis indexing capability. All of the consumable items that fit on other AccuteX EDMs are compatible with the EZ-53SA. “AccuteX will also show its recently introduced SP-300iA 5-Axis CNC Wire EDM. This machine features the latest ‘Micros parking Technology,’ the MST-II function designed to provide exceptional part finishes. Aerospace and medical industries in particular have demands for low recast and fine finishes. Further, this machine is built with a Meehanite cast honeycomb base, highly-ribbed column that is mounted with over sized UVZ axis and reinforced lower arm for added stiffness. All castings are stabilized and subjected to rigorous testing to insure maximum strength, high precision, and durability. The X, Y, Z working range is 13. 8 x 9.8 x 8.7 inches. U and V axes are both 3.15 in. The U-V axis mechanism is placed in a cabinet above the working area, assuring optimal rigidity and protection from humidity and physical damage. The axes are driven by means of closed-loop AC servo motors with 0. 000004 in. Resolution and controlled by a linear glass scale feedback system. The SP-300iAalso incorporates the latest generation ball-retainer type guide ways which reduce 90 percent of friction variation compared to conventional guide ways.” For more information contact: AccuteX EDM ADiv. of Absolute Machine Tools 7944 Innovation Way Mason, OH 45040 513-701-5550 sales@accutexedm.com www.accutexedm.com Booth E-5225
