Technical Description
The FANUC ALPHA C600iA is a high-precision wire-cut electrical discharge machining (EDM) center designed for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and medical manufacturing. Utilizing advanced FANUC control technology, specifically the FANUC 31i-WB CNC system, this machine delivers exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and ease of operation. It features a robust construction with an X-axis travel of 600 mm, Y-axis travel of 400 mm, and Z-axis travel of up to 310 mm, enabling the processing of complex geometries and large workpieces. The machine supports wire diameters from 0.10 mm to 0.30 mm, with an optional capability for even thinner wires, and is equipped with an automatic wire feeding system (AWF2) for reliable threading and continuous operation. The patented twin servo wire tension control ensures consistent wire tension, minimizing wire breaks and enhancing surface finish quality. The FANUC ALPHA C600iA incorporates an anti-recast power supply and discharge control technology for improved cutting performance and reduced recast layer formation. It offers a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 2,200 lb (1,000 kg) and supports the machining of a wide range of conductive materials, including steel, aluminum, and titanium. The machine’s design emphasizes thermal stability, ease of maintenance, and operator safety, with features such as a clear seal plate and a shielded enclosure to minimize electrical interference. With its combination of advanced CNC control, high-speed cutting, and automated functions, the FANUC ALPHA C600iA is a reliable solution for high-volume, high-precision wire EDM applications.
