GF AgieCharmilles Announces FORM 20/30 Diesinking EDM



Lincolnshire, Illinois, April 21, 2008 - The newest innovation in GF AgieCharmilles' extensive range of diesinking EDM machines is the FORM 20/30, a cost-effective solution that combines ease of use with exceptional performance. Offering consistent reliability, the FORM 20/30 ensures high rigidity, good interference and reduced setup times.

Constructed with an ultra rigid cast iron C-frame and cross-table design, the FORM 20/30 guarantees stiffness and is suited to withstand the temperature fluctuations found in the standard workshop environment. GF AgieCharmilles designed the machine with an integrated tool capacity for 4 - 6 positions, as well as glass scales on all axes that continuously measure axis positions, ensuring the highest level of positioning and cutting accuracy.

The FORM 20/30 is also equipped with the new and intuitive HMI (human-machine interface), which is built on a Windows XP platform and designed with "non-EDM experts" in mind. This ensures that machine operators with minimal experience can program a job and quickly yield the desired geometrical and surface finish results in all cavities.

The system can be easily integrated into a data network via LAN for remote monitoring and data management. Adding to the smart design of control is the proven performance of the Advanced Power Generator (APG), a high efficiency, high output 72/103 Amp generator that delivers high speed, consistent surface finish quality, precision, low wear and high removal rates.
