Agie Classic V 3 Processes Workpieces up to 16.5 in. Tall to Handle Demanding EDM Aerospace Applications


Chicago, IL - The Agiecut Classic V 3 - which will be exhibited in the company's Frontiers in Aerospace Manufacturing zone, booth D-4101 - incorporates the Agie IPG-V generator to achieve enhanced accuracies and surface finishes at cutting speeds up to 28 in.²/hr. The Classic achieves surface finishes to 8.0 µinch Ra (0.2 µm Ra)), and 4.0 µinch Ra (0.1 µm Ra) with the optional R Module, and utilizes a 55lb. wire spool for extended production runs. In addition, the "3" size features a 16.8 in. Z-axis travel to process workpieces up to 16.55 inches high. Auto wire threading is fast and completely reliable even at this extended height.

The Classic V Series features Agievision 5 with the popular Windows XP operating system. It provides enhanced 3D graphics, real time adjustments, and direct-select activity bars. Among the exclusive Agievision functions standard on the Classic V Series are Agiesetup 3D that reduces setup time by automatically checking for workpiece skew and tilt; and Wire Bending Control, an algorithm that automatically compensates for wire drag to ensure accuracy in curves and corners. Three user modes - beginner, intermediate, and advanced let you make the most of your operator skill level.

Also featured in the Frontiers in Aerospace Manufacturing zone is the AgieDrill. With automatic edge- and center-find functions, this programmable, multi-point "hole popper" provides automatic and fast erosion of holes at multiple points with minimal intervention. Electrode chuck kits are available in six popular sizes.
