GF AGIE CHARMILLES CUT 20P WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The GF Agie Charmilles Cut 20P is a precision 5-axis CNC wire EDM machine designed for high-tolerance tool and mold manufacturing applications. It features a robust working envelope with 13.8" X-axis, 9.8" Y-axis, and 9.8" Z-axis travel, complemented by ±1.7" U and V axes enabling 30-degree taper cutting capabilities. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 33.43" x 26.77" x 9.84" and weighing up to 882 pounds within its 53-gallon clean and 159-gallon dirty water tank system. Equipped with automatic wire threading functionality, the machine handles wire diameters from 0.006" to 0.012" on 11-pound spools, supporting unmanned operation for extended production runs. The Charmilles CNC control features an intuitive graphical interface with conversational programming for simplified setup and operation. Advanced submerged cutting technology maintains consistent dielectric conditions for superior surface finishes achieving Ra values of 0.60 μm (24 μin) and finer. The integrated electric chiller system stabilizes fluid temperature for optimal accuracy and repeatability. With maximum taper angle capabilities of ±25° at 3.14" thickness and wire speeds up to 330 mm/s, this machine delivers excellent price-to-performance value for standard parts and general engineering applications. Its compact, production-ready design combines reliability with operator-friendly controls, making it an ideal solution for precision manufacturing environments demanding consistency and efficiency.
