Wire EDM Fanuc ROBOCUT α-C800iC

Wire EDM Fanuc ROBOCUT α-C800iC provides significant advantages

• Wire EDM Fanuc ROBOCUT α-C800iC provides significant advantages to industries such as aerospace, where large, complex components need high-quality, high-speed machining. The ROBOCUT α-C800iC, the largest model in FANUC's latest α-CiC series, offers 800 mm travel in the X-axis, 600 mm in the Y-axis, and up to 500 mm in the Z-axis, all while maintaining a compact footprint with its uniquely designed tank unit. The machine demonstrated its impressive capabilities by wire-cutting a complex aerospace turbine part made from SUS304 stainless steel.
  
• Wire EDM Fanuc ROBOCUT α-CiC offer numerous key advantages for parts weighing up to 3,000 kg. These include multi-workpiece cutting, a user-friendly CORE STITCH function, fast filling times (160 seconds with the Z500 option or 120 seconds with the standard Z-axis stroke), quick 10-second wire threading, automatic in-path re-threading, precise twin-servo wire tension control, and a hardened workpiece table. The machine is also easy to install, maintain, and repair, epitomizing efficiency.

A new discharge control device (SF3) ensures high-quality cutting

The new discharge control device (SF3) prevents wire breaks, supports stable high-speed machining. The improved mechanical structure provides precise pitch accuracy and roundness.

FANUC's AI uses machine learning algorithms to deliver the correct amount of thermal compensation to the wire position, even in fluctuating ambient temperatures. Additionally, wire EDM Fanuc ROBOCUT α-CiC is equipped with the ROBOCUT-LINKi software offering real-time monitoring of machine status to minimize downtime and measures energy consumption.

FANUC iH Pro user interface

Customers also benefit from the FANUC iH Pro user interface with its 21.5” widescreen multi-touch LCD. Investors in this industry advancement can also utilize the ROBOCUT-CCR high-precision rotary table, a wire loader for continuous unmanned machining, and the option to connect a machine-tending robot/cobot via a single Ethernet cable. Notably, FANUC provides lifetime machine support regardless of running hours.
