FANUC ALPHA 1ID WIRE EDM MACHINE

The FANUC Alpha 1ID is a high-precision 5-axis CNC Wire EDM machine designed for intricate metalworking applications. It features a robust construction with dimensions of 112" x 131" x 85" and a machine weight of 6,600 lbs, accommodating workpieces up to 3,350 lbs. The internal work tank measures 41.0" x 32.3" x 12.1" with a maximum workpiece height capacity of 12.0". This unit offers table travels of 23.6" in the X-axis and 15.7" in the Y-axis, along with U/V axis travel of ±3.937", allowing for complex taper cuts up to ±16° over 12.0" length. Precision is guaranteed with a resolution of 0.000004". The machine supports wire diameters from 0.004" to 0.012", equipped with 0.010" wire guides, and uses wire spools up to 35 lbs. It operates with a Fanuc 310i-WA CNC control system with five processors, providing efficient programming and control capabilities. The factory-rated cutting speed is approximately 31 square inches per hour using 0.012" wire on 2.4" thick D2 steel. Power requirements are 200-220V, 3-phase, 13KVA. The machine operates using submerged cutting technology with features like automatic wire threading and glass scale feedback for accurate positioning. Floor space required matches its physical dimensions, making it suitable for precision manufacturing environments requiring high reliability and accuracy in electrical discharge machining processes. This model is optimized for both heavy-duty and detailed EDM applications.
