FANUC ALPHA 1C WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The FANUC ALPHA 1C Wire EDM Machine is a precision electrical discharge machining system designed for high-accuracy cutting of complex shapes in conductive materials. Featuring a robust Fanuc Series 16-W CNC control, the machine delivers reliable automation and seamless programming for demanding production environments. The X-axis travel is 20.5 inches, Y-axis travel is 14 inches, and Z-axis travel is 12.2 inches, providing ample workspace for a wide range of workpieces. The U/V axes offer 2.4 inches of travel in each direction, enabling intricate taper and contour cutting. The inside tank dimensions measure 31.1 inches by 28.74 inches, accommodating larger workpieces while maintaining a submerged cutting environment for enhanced accuracy and surface finish. The machine is equipped with automatic wire threading, ensuring fast and reliable wire re-threading even in submerged conditions, which minimizes downtime and increases productivity. Powered by a 220V, 3-phase, 60Hz electrical supply, the ALPHA 1C is engineered for stable and efficient operation. The submerged design further improves cutting precision and reduces the risk of wire breakage. This machine is ideal for applications requiring tight tolerances and fine surface finishes, such as mold and die making, aerospace components, and precision tooling. Its combination of advanced CNC control, generous axis travels, and automatic wire threading makes the FANUC ALPHA 1C a versatile and dependable solution for high-performance wire EDM operations.
