New Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Device

The devices uses a dielectrical discharge to machine small parts.

United Machining North America announced the launch of its new wire electrical discharge machining device, Agie Charmilles’ CUT E 350 PRIME and the CUT E 600 PRIME. The PRIME models of the devices are reportedly only available for a limited time.

According to United Machining, the PRIME EDM devices feature the Uniqua human-machine interface and Turbo Tech proprietary cutting technology. Wire EDM machines, including the Prime models, use a dielectric discharge and a wire to cut material from a part for producing extrusion dies, blanking punches, precise molds, and similar objects.

On United Machining’s website, the CUT E 350 and CUT 3 600 are contrasted in terms of their size. The CUT E 350 has a X-axis travel distance of 350mm and Y and Z travel of 250mm each, while the CUT E 600 has an X-axis travel distance of 600mm and a similar Y and Z travel of 250mm.

In a statement, United Machining President Onik Bhattacharyya said the devices are highly reliable.

“We are thrilled to introduce the CUT E 350 PRIME and the CUT E 600 PRIME, two stellar offerings in the AGIE CHARMILLES lineup," Bhattacharyya said. "Both of these machines combine the equipment and software that the brand is known for with an attractive price point and robust service package. You can set your watch to the precision and reliability you will have on your floor."
