FANUC ALPHA 0IB/AWF WIRE EDM MACHINE

The FANUC ALPHA 0iB/AWF Wire EDM machine is a high-precision, CNC-controlled wire electrical discharge machine designed for efficient and complex part manufacturing. It features an X-Y-Z travel range of 26.0" x 17.0" x 10.0", with additional U/V axis travel of ±2.36" to enable taper cutting up to 30° over 3.15". The FANUC 180is-WB 5-axis control facilitates advanced machining with automatic wire threading and submerged cutting for precise erosion. The machine supports wire diameters from 0.004" to 0.012", using 0.010" guide wires, and can handle workpieces up to 1,100 lbs with a maximum AWF (Auto Wire Feed) height of 10". The robust table measures 21" x 14" on three sides, with a machine footprint of 92" x 86" and weighs approximately 4,000 lbs. Notably, it includes Heidenhain glass scale feedback on the X-Y axes for enhanced positional accuracy, a water chiller for thermal stability, and an advanced remote pendant for operator convenience. The power supply is AC, non-electrolysis, providing consistent performance. With a wire spool capacity of 35 lbs and a factory-rated cutting speed of 28 sq/in/hr, the machine is capable of sustained high productivity. Overall, the FANUC ALPHA 0iB/AWF is optimized for precision mold making, tooling, and intricate component fabrication in demanding manufacturing environments.
