EDM Redesign

摘要

For its new iD Series wire EDMs, Fanuc (www.methodsmachine.com) started from scratch and completely redesigned, from the ground up, to develop machines with superior cutting speeds, accuracy and exceptional surface finish-generating capabilities. Fanuc beefed up the new machines with cast Meehanite bases that are thermally insulated and 40 percent more rigid than previous models. The company increased table travels with no load overhang during table movement and incorporated heavy-duty 1.26-in. ballscrews that are double anchored and encapsulated in bellows-style covers into the machine's X and Y axes. For the U and V axes, ballscrews measure 0.79 in. in diameter.
