HANSVEDT DS-2, NEW 1989, COMPLETE AND RUNNING PROPERLY WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The Hansvedt DS-2, manufactured in 1989, is a CNC wire EDM machine designed for precision machining with a maximum workpiece dimension of 18" x 27" and a maximum thickness capacity of 6". It offers travels of 6.5" on the X-axis, 10.5" on the Y-axis, and 6" on the Z-axis, supporting workpieces up to 300 lbs. Positioning accuracy is ±0.0002", ensuring fine precision in cutting. The machine operates with a wire diameter range from 0.004" to 0.012" and a maximum cutting speed of 14 inches per hour. It is powered by a 20 Amp supply requiring 208/240 VAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz electrical input. Equipped with precision linear guideways on the X and Y axes and a Turcite-lined guideway for the Z-axis, this machine ensures smooth and accurate movements. The control system features the M-Pulse CNC power supply with flexible, user-friendly software, enabling simultaneous XY axis control. The NC unit is a Hansvedt model with an RS-232 port for data communication. Additional features include a CRT display for monitoring operations and a 3.5" floppy disk drive for program storage. This setup makes the Hansvedt DS-2 a reliable, well-equipped EDM machine suitable for detailed and accurate wire cutting operations in various manufacturing environments.
