Highly dynamic reaction (shortest possible reaction time) New developed high speed servo amplifiers 4 times faster! Convincing machine construction Tubular Direct Drive The extremely reactive response behaviour of the tubular direct drive needs an ultra-fast communication between CNC, servo amplifiers and drives itself (Swift Optic Communication). The balanced construction and the ring-like force field of the tubular direct drive avoid asymmetric adhesion power. Energy-efficient system avoiding power loss due to heat. The solid machine base made from highly ribbed meehanite cast metal with an integrated temperature stabilizing system is the solid base for long-time precision. Premium-class selected linear guides as well as Tubular Direct Drives assembled in the centre of the moving weight pronounce the absolute precision approach of the. 7

5 8 The Advance CNC control - the new standard in wire erosion The Advance control based on the Mitsubishi CNC M700 is captivating due to its user-friendliness and reliability. In spite of its complex range of functions, it can be operated intuitively via a control concept based on Windows XP. The logical menu structure and uncomplicated design allow you to quickly and reliably achieve your goal. You can run a 2D or 3D simulation of your program before or during the processing. The optimal generator setting creates the expert system E.S.P.E.R from your processing parameters. Evaluation, optimisation, and monitoring programs support you in your work. Operational control is performed via a sturdy 15" touch screen monitor, fixed function keys for commands most often used, as well as keyboard and mouse. The control can be linked to a network by using the standard Ethernet card. Data can also be exchanged independently from the network by way of two USB ports via USB flash drive. Teleservice Telecontrol Operator Telecontact nta ct co Tel e ct nta co le Te Operator 2 Maintenance Operator 1 Any type of software update regarding the control of the machine can only be performed via this USB stick. This includes the bakkup of all user and machine-specific data before any software update. This enables your individual settings to be restored afterwards. 9

10 Advance Control: Directly utilise your existing 3D CAD data The Advance Control also includes a 3D as well as 2D CAM system.

Your advantage: quickly and easily move from set-up to production.

Using the integrated 3D CAM system, you can generate the eroding contours directly from your 3D Parasolid model and then transmit them to the built-in 2D CAM program.

Needless to say, you can also import 2D CAD data in DXF or IGES format directly into the 2D CAM and then generate or further process the NC program.

6 10 Advance Control: Directly utilise your existing 3D CAD data The Advance Control also includes a 3D as well as 2D CAM system. 3D data in Parasolid format and 2D data stored as DXF or IGES files can be directly imported and converted into NC programs. Your advantage: quickly and easily move from set-up to production. 3D CAD / 2D CAD Loading the existing 3D data for your work piece in Parasolid format is easy as the Advance Control can process your original data in multiple formats. Using the integrated 3D CAM system, you can generate the eroding contours directly from your 3D Parasolid model and then transmit them to the built-in 2D CAM program. The 2D CAM generates the NC program from these specifications, which can also still be adjusted. Needless to say, you can also import 2D CAD data in DXF or IGES format directly into the 2D CAM and then generate or further process the NC program. Upper/lower nozzles are seated Large step Machining direction Blind hole 3D Power Master The Advance Control reads the 3D CAD data for information regarding height run and interruptions in the work piece. When the Advance Control is processing in the 3D Power Master mode, it anticipates height differences and cavities in the work piece and reacts accordingly. The possibility of the work piece being damaged with marks and lines is avoided by this anticipatory eroding process, which at the same time, does not adversely affect the performance or cutting speed 11

7 12 Optimised for best user-friendliness You do not want to loose time for the search of unnecessary mistakes? The electronic manual which is integrated in the CNC control helps you, e.g. by time meter and pictures, to organise necessary services in advance. In case of occurring alarm messages, they are analysed and the items to be checked are displayed. Photos and graphics help you to localise the maintenance points. You expect an optimum access to the working area? The automated vertical sliding door as well as the 3-sides lift tank ensure optimum access without using additional space. This avoids dirt on the floor. Fast, secure, reliable! 13
