CHARMILLES ROBOFIL 240CC WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The Charmilles Robofil 240CC is a precision wire EDM machine designed for high-accuracy machining of complex parts with a maximum workpiece dimension of 39.4 x 21.7 x 8.6 inches and a maximum weight capacity of 1650 lbs. It features a submerged cutting tank allowing dielectric fluid to fully immerse the workpiece for improved cutting efficiency and surface finish. The machine supports a taper angle of up to 30 degrees with a taper height capacity of 8.6 inches, enabling angled cuts and complex shapes. The U-V axis travels measure 13.7 x 8.6 inches, adding versatility in multi-axis machining. Equipped with the Charmilles Millennium CNC control system and a 12-inch screen, the machine offers advanced programming capabilities via keyboard, USB, and Ethernet interfaces. High precision is further supported by linear glass scales on both the X and Y axes, ensuring accurate positioning and repeatability. The Robofil 240CC includes automatic wire threading and rethreading functions to enhance operational efficiency and reduce operator intervention. Wire diameters accommodated range from 0.004" to 0.012", supported by an integrated wire chopper for used wire disposal. The machine operates on 400 volts three-phase power, consuming approximately 12kVA, and includes a dielectric tank capacity of about 201 gallons. Measuring roughly 80 x 81 x 79 inches and weighing around 5400 lbs, it is robustly constructed for industrial use. With approximately 12,000 machining hours logged, it remains well-suited to aerospace, automotive, and tool making industries requiring precise, reliable wire EDM performance.
