GROMAX W-V380 WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The GROMAX W-V380 is a precision submerged wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) system designed for high-accuracy cutting operations on hardened materials. This CNC-controlled machine features a compact working envelope with 15 inches of X-axis travel, 11 inches of Y-axis travel, and 10.2 inches of Z-axis travel, making it suitable for medium-sized workpieces up to 850x500x255mm. The machine incorporates automatic threading capability, streamlining the wire setup process and reducing operator intervention between cuts. Operating in a fully submerged configuration, the machine benefits from enhanced dielectric fluid cooling and flushing, which improves surface finish quality and extends electrode wire life by maintaining optimal discharge conditions. The CNC control system enables programmable multi-axis machining with precise coordinate positioning and repeatability. Weighing 6,160 pounds, the W-V380 provides substantial structural rigidity necessary for maintaining dimensional accuracy during extended machining cycles. This model is equipped with digital readout (DRO) capabilities on all three axes, allowing real-time monitoring of tool position and facilitating rapid program verification. The machine supports EDM parameters storage and recall functions indexed by electrode type, size, and workpiece material, optimizing efficiency across diverse applications. Optional automatic electrode change (AEC) capability can be adapted for unmanned operation. The W-V380 represents an entry-level to mid-range wire EDM solution, balancing precision, reliability, and operational flexibility for job shop and production environments requiring consistent accuracy on complex geometries in conductive materials.
