GF Agie Charmilles says its Agiecut Progress V 2 wire EDM’s wire-bending control allowsÌýthe machineÌýtoÌýachieve speeds as fast as 37 in2Ìýper hour, both in tight radii and during precision cuts. In addition, the company says, the EDM’s 15-second wire-threading capability reduces wire-related barriers to speed. The machine’s wire guideÌýcan thread all wire sizes and types to allow taper cutting of ±30 degrees without the need for annealing after a break.
