Fanuc Wire EDM Machine for General and Medical Production

The new FANUC iMed wire EDM machine is a workhorse EDM that combines high performance, low operating costs, and ease of maintenance, says FANUC. It uses brass wire (0.004"-0.012" standard) and comes with many standard features that are options on competitive machines, including a heavy-duty anti-electrolysis power supply, an energy-saving inverter-controlled DI chiller, AC servo-controlled water level for the work tank, and the FANUC 310i-WA CNC. The control provides nano interpolation, a 15" color touch-screen monitor, split-screen graphics with drawing capabilities, interactive parts/maintenance assistance, multiple USB ports, and ethernet connectivity.

Fanuc also claims the iMed's patented twin AC servo wire tensioning system reduces tension variations to ¼ that of conventional wire machines. This because the FANUC iMed provides threading in just 10 seconds or less, even while submerged. A large 35-pound (or optional 66-pound) wire spool capacity and remote machine programming and monitoring capability allow unattended operation for extended periods.
