MX – High-End in Oil

Only if you have exact control of the machine, workpiece and dielectric, you do have control of true precision. The inbuilt temperature regulation automatically controls all parameters and synchronises them so as to suppress temperature variation during the cutting process. All for the sake of accuracy.

Floating on air: no friction, no wear…

The Tubular Shaft Motor converts energy directly into motion, without contact, without maintenance and above all without loss of precision – long-term. Combined with the 400 % faster fibre-optic-­based control, this superior technology can truly show what it is capable of.

The 12-year genuine manufacturer warranty on positioning accuracy is a guarantee of top-level durability.

Your company’s technological edge has a name: Tubular Shaft Motor – from world market leader Mitsubishi Electric.

Simply replace the spool and feed the cutting wire over the feed rollers. Everything ready for work again in 92 seconds.

Makes for smooth running long-term – entirely with­out stoppages, lubrication nipples or cumbersome grease guns. You can now make more productive use of this time.

Replace the power feed contact with just one hand and a small gauge – at a speed befitting ­Formula One.

What was it about conventional drive systems that bothered developers at Mitsubishi Electric? The need for lubrication, the friction and frictional heat, power consumption, backlash, the cogging moment and above all the possible wear. Only a non-­contact drive overcomes these drawbacks from the outset and is thus an assurance of better results and enhanced dependability over decades.

The Mitsubishi Electric polymer optical fibres have decisive advantages – not only over conventional copper cables, but also over glass fibres. Not only their total resistance to water, but also their high transmission rates combined with minimal space requirements and maximum flexibility are essential for truly progressive EDM systems. The only thing that you as a user notice is the longer service life and enhanced precision.

You’re surely familiar with the cogging torque man­ifested by a conventional electric motor. It is precisely this cogging torque that is undesirable, as are variations in torque. The Tubular Shaft Motor – the optimal drive for precision applications like electrical discharge machining – particularly when combined with the specially selected linear guides.

• as good as Ra 0.04 µm in ­tungsten carbide
• in steel < Ra 0.10 µm
• even and ­particularly where complex ­geometries are concerned

Positional variation less than 1 µm over the entire 300 mm travel path.

30 mm circle and 20 mm cutting height with ­precision of 0.73 µm in circularity.

± 2 µm – maximum dimensional accuracy here ­taking the example of a 20 mm tall component.

Response time is decisive

The lower the energy input, the better and more stabile the cut edges. A larger number of shorter pulses achieve the highest precision ever coupled with good cutting speed – minimising microcracking in the material as a side-effect. The reduced damage in the edge zones and better structural integrity yield much ­extended service life, and not only that of stamping tools.

The special feature of the MX600’s nPV Generator designed for oil dielectric is its gentle application of energy to the workpiece. Extended tool life for cutting punches and other similarly stressed components is an inevitable consequence.

The new nPV Generator succeeds in using the same quantity of energy to machine the material while significantly reducing the energy peaks on the workpiece. This is achieved by applying lower energy to the workpiece at higher frequency.

The various units of the generator have been ­perfectly matched, making it possible to achieve a good erosion rate combined with a superlative surface finish.

Intelligent user guidance takes you to the finish.
The electrical discharge machine takes you quickly to your goal.

Both are possible. As a user, you decide whether you do set-up classically by hand or the machine automatically defines the position of your workpiece. Using the cutting wire or pick-up coil – the machine takes care of it for you. It only takes the press of a button.

Import 3D data in Parasolid® format and create 3D shapes with the integrated 3D CAD/CAM. By using them, you can generate NC data with the associated machining parameters. Even more precise results are achieved with intelligent analysis of the machining conditions by the Power Master 3D that thinks ahead.

Comfortable set-up with the manual control box: standard equipment with Mitsubishi Electric.
All essential control functions at hand – wherever you need them.

You can control the machine and keep an eye on processes, wherever you are. ­Intelligent communication takes the pressure out of work. Ideal combined with automation solutions and high process autonomy with the intelligent AT wire threader.
