FANUC 0IAS/AWF WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The FANUC 0IAS/AWF Wire EDM Machine is a precision electrical discharge machining system designed for high-accuracy cutting operations on complex workpieces. Featuring a robust CNC 18i control system, this machine delivers exceptional positional accuracy with 0.000004-inch resolution, enabling intricate part geometries. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 1,000 lbs with X, Y, and Z travel dimensions of 26.0, 17.0, and 7.1 inches respectively, supported by U/V auxiliary axes providing ±2.364 inches of additional positioning capability. The fully submerged cutting environment ensures superior surface finish and thermal stability during extended machining cycles. Equipped with advanced automatic wire feed (AWF) technology, the system features automatic threading capability and supports wire diameters ranging from 0.004 to 0.012 inches, standardly equipped with 0.010-inch wire. The machine achieves maximum cutting speeds of 28 square inches per hour with a maximum wire spool capacity of 22 lbs, enabling extended unmanned operation periods. Taper cutting functionality allows angular cuts up to ±15° at 7.0 inches of height, providing versatility for complex geometries. The 4,000-lb machine occupies 102 x 85 x 90 inches of floor space and operates on 208V/3-phase/60Hz power at 13 KVA. This configuration makes it ideal for aerospace, medical, and precision manufacturing applications requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and reliability.
