KENT USA WFI-50 WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The KENT USA WFI-50 Wire EDM machine is a CNC-controlled, precision wire-cut electrical discharge machine designed for accurate and efficient machining. It features a robust machine structure with travel capacities of 19.7 inches on the X-axis, 11.8 inches on both the Y- and Z-axes, supporting versatile machining of complex parts. The machine dimensions are 102.4” wide, 86.6” deep, and 84.6” high, with a total weight of 5070 lbs, making it a substantial and stable platform for precision cutting tasks. Its CNC control supports fine increments as small as 0.001 mm (0.0001 inch), enabling tight tolerances in part fabrication. The WFI-50 uses a flushing-type cutting method to maintain wire conductivity and optimal cutting conditions, with a max taper angle capability of ±22.5 degrees for angled cuts. The machine supports wire diameters ranging from 0.1 to 0.33 mm, wire tension between 200 to 2400 gf, and wire feed rates up to 15 m/min. Its design includes features like automatic wire conductivity checks, taper cutting functions, arc cornering, and programmable coordinate systems (both absolute and relative). The power requirement is 11 KVA without a chiller, rising to 13 KVA if a chiller is used. With a water tank capacity of approximately 71 gallons, the WFI-50 ensures stable dielectric fluid maintenance during machining. This machine is suitable for producing intricate dies, molds, and components from hard metals with high accuracy and repeatability.
