AGIECHARMILLES CUT P 550 WIRE EDM MACHINES

Technical Description

The AgieCharmilles CUT P 550 is a precision submerged wire EDM machine engineered for high-accuracy cutting of complex geometries. This machine features X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 21.7, 13.8, and 15.6 inches respectively, accommodating workpieces up to 39.7 x 27.6 x 15.75 inches with a maximum load capacity of approximately 3,300 pounds. The CUT P 550 utilizes 0.003" to 0.013" diameter wire for intricate detail work, delivering surface finishes as fine as 0.08 micrometers Ra. The machine incorporates a maximum taper capability of 30 degrees with the advanced TAPER-EXPERT system that corrects wire position in real time during angled machining operations. Equipped with the AC CUT HMI 2 ergonomic control interface and integrated IPG generator technology, this machine achieves cutting speeds up to 37 square inches per hour while reducing environmental impact. The iWire technology optimizes wire consumption by adapting wire speed in real-time, with eco-wire mode reducing consumption up to 30 percent. Featuring automatic wire threading, linear glass scales for precision measurement, and integrated collision protection on five axes, the CUT P 550 delivers repeatable accuracy across production runs. The included Advantage IK-2APT-40HFX 2-ton chiller maintains optimal dielectric temperature for consistent machining performance. With a total weight of 8,000 pounds and footprint of 103 x 104 x 92 inches, this machine represents a reliable solution for precision cutting applications in aerospace, medical, and tooling industries.
