Do you know the basic components of wire-cut EDM machines? What are the purchase models?

Zhikai ZKA600 high-speed wire-cutting machine has the characteristics of good rigidity, high precision, strong functions, convenient and reliable operation, high finish, etc. It is suitable for processing high-precision, high-toughness, difficult-to-process conductive metal molds, complex metal parts and templates.

Zhikai high-speed wire cutting machine uses electrode wire and high-frequency power supply, under the control of the new wire cutting software - CoolCut system, to perform EDM cutting on the workpiece according to the predetermined trajectory. The following are the core structural components of the wire cutting machine:

1. Bed

The wire cutting bed is made of high-strength cast iron and a molded base, which is the load-bearing component of the machine tool. Zhikai's castings are all cast using resin sand casting technology, and are annealed twice at high temperature. They are also heavy in the same type of machine tools, ensuring the permanent mechanical accuracy.

2. Wire cutting software

Wire cutting programming control system The control system is divided into stepping system and servo system.

Zhikai wire cutting control cabinet adopts the self-developed CoolCut wire cutting control system, with the following functions:

1. CoolCut wire cutting system abandons PCI interface, based on Ethernet control system, supports 99.99% of computers on the market, unless you don’t have an Ethernet port, supports Windows11 computer operating system.

2. Support winxp-win11 operating system.

3. No driver, no installation, support one-key recovery of backup.

4. Adopt CoolCut wire cutting control software, support intelligent wire feeding, water pump, direct software control, no external plug-in or touch screen, etc.

5. Intelligent database, select material and thickness.

6. Software one-click wire feeding and edge touching function.

7. Software work light switch. Software duty function.

8. Adopt the control system developed by our company. As long as you know CAD, you can do wire feeding in operation.

9. All switch wire feeding, water pump, and high frequency are completed in the software, and the stability is 10 times that of mechanical switches.

10. Embedded intelligent diagnostic system, after the system fails, can guide users to solve it by themselves.

11. Support programming linear compensation, linear compensation according to the set molybdenum wire loss, effectively improve the machining accuracy and size of the machine tool.

12. The processing high-frequency parameters are all set by software, truly digital coding, ease of use and stability are greatly improved.

13. The software encoding high frequency, the molybdenum wire loss is significantly reduced.

14. Adopting our company's unimpeded drive system, the stepper motor runs stably, fast and low noise.

15. The software supports one-time editing and processing of tapers and straight lines. The processing template does not need to be repeatedly programmed and the trouble of multiple wire threading. The taper and straight line are processed in one time.

16. Expert database system with tens of thousands of experiments, all parameters are saved in database form, effectively solving the defect that the processing size of the medium-speed wire cutting machine tool cannot be guaranteed.

17. The servo electric cabinet has a pitch compensation function, which effectively improves the machining accuracy and size of the machine tool

3. Wire cutting control cabinet

3.1 Wire cutting circuit composition

Wire cutting control cabinets are divided into medium wire control cabinets and fast wire control cabinets. Focus on the medium wire electric cabinet. The medium wire control cabinet consists of a sheet metal shell, a control system, a computer, a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse, a control high-frequency circuit, a special inverter for wire cutting, relays, air switch contactors and other electrical appliances, and a machine tool connection cable made by the manufacturer. The machine tool connection cable is used to connect to the machine tool. The core is the control system and the high-frequency circuit. Zhikai medium wire adopts Zhikai's fully non-resistance and non-electrolytic high-frequency system, and the national copyright number is: 2018SR156739. The advantage is that there is no resistance, the internal temperature of the electric cabinet is constant, and then there is no need for a fan, so there is no oil and water mist sucked into the electric cabinet, ensuring that the interior is dry and tidy, constant temperature and dry, which is conducive to the stable use of the electric cabinet and ensures that the components are suitable for long-term continuous work.

3.2 Classification of medium wire control cabinets

The medium wire electric control cabinet is divided into stepper medium wire electric cabinet and servo medium wire control cabinet.

3.2.1 Stepper Medium Wire Cabinet

Medium Wire Cabinet has multiple cutting functions, and adopts frequency conversion technology to make wire feeding more stable. The surface finish of the workpiece is improved to ≤1.0µm, and the processing accuracy is ≤0.015mm (national standard workpiece size). The wire cutting high-frequency cabinet has a beautiful appearance and an excellent and reasonable internal structure. The cabinets are aged at high temperature for a long time before leaving the factory to ensure a failure rate of one in ten thousand.

3.2.2 Servo Medium Wire Cabinet

Servo Medium Wire Cabinet uses AC servo electrical appliances and drivers, and the control system also adds many functions that steppers do not have, such as one-button scrap removal, slow wire AR metering function, etc., pitch compensation to correct machine tool accuracy, etc. Make the medium wire machine tool closer to the slow wire machine tool.

3. Water tank

The new three-layer filter is specially selected to extend the service life of the working fluid, improve the cleanliness of the working fluid, enhance the slag removal performance, and ultimately promote the improvement of the finish of the processed workpiece. It is harmless to the operator and the environment and meets environmental protection requirements.

The above is the composition of wire cutting. Zhikai's medium-speed wire cutting can be customized for rotary processing. This machine has greatly expanded the processing range of the wire cutting machine, targeting plastic steel door and window special-shaped material forming molds, aluminum alloy door and window special-shaped forming molds, auto parts, televisions, washing machines and other household appliances. The shell is formed into molds. It is widely used in molds, electronic instruments, precision machinery, auto parts, military industry, training and other departments. If you are also in Suzhou, you can come to Zhikai CNC to learn more. The company also has many wire cutting models, such as large-stroke machine tools, DK771000 wire cutting wire cutting machine, high-end five-axis servo medium-speed wire cutting, small wire cutting machine tools and customized large-scale heavy-load EDM wire cutting machine tools.
