The AL56SA wire EDM from AccuteX EDM, a division of Absolute Machine Tools, Inc. (Mason, OH), features a revolutionary high-speed linear shaft motor. Engineered for high-end users of wire EDM, the machine’s linear shaft technology offers advantages, including no backlash or lost motion, enabling ultra precise linear and circular interpolation; no guideway friction and thereby no wear, assuring maintenance-free operation for the life of the machine; no heat transfer, a result of the shaft design; and fast servo and spark control when matched with the AccuteX 64-bit Windows CE control.
The machine features AccuteX’s award-winning AWT automatic wire threader that provides effective threading at the break point. With travels of 22 in x 14 in x 12 in, it can handle a workpiece as large as 38 in x 22 in x 11.5 in, weighing up to 1,100 lbs.
Steve Ortner, the president and owner of Absolute Machine Tools said, “The linear shaft motor of the AccuteX AL56SA wire EDM gives users a clear advantage in terms of speed, accuracy, and savings in maintenance costs.”
