ROBOCUT New Product: FANUC ROBOCUT α-CiC series
The ROBOCUT is a high-performance and highly-reliable wire electrical discharge machine that employs FANUC’s latest CNC and servo technologies. With a highly rigid mechanical structure and the latest discharge device and discharge control function, the ROBOCUT can achieve high-speed and high-precision cutting of parts and molds.
High cutting performance
The mechanical structure, the discharge unit and the discharge control have been renewed for high-speed, high-precision and high-quality cutting.
- The mechanical rigidity has been strengthened to reduce any deformation of the machine, thereby enabling high-precision cutting of a perfect circle and high pitch accuracy.
- The power supply for finishing known as SF3, allows both miniaturization and a high frequency discharge pulse, for smoother surface finishing.
- The discharge control iPulse3 optimizes the cutting conditions and speeds for corners and stepped shapes to improve cutting performance.
Minimizing downtime
The highly reliable automatic wire feeding system, AWF3, allows unmanned operation to continue for a long period of time.
- With its simple structure, the automatic wire feeding system has excellent maintainability. The success rate for threading wires is exceptional, and high reliability is ensured for a long time.
- The air retry function intentionally vibrates the tip of a wire being threaded, offering a high success rate even at a wire break point or when using a small diameter hole.
- The twin servo wire feeding system prevents the wire from vibrating and accurately controls the wire tension.
Easy of use
FANUC’s latest CNC, which provides excellent operability, is fitted to the ROBOCUT, making it much easier to use.
- With the high-performance display unit PANEL iH Pro, the drawing time is reduced by 75%.
- Adjustments of cutting speed along with changes in corner and approach geometries are easily performed through intuitive operations.
- The Undo and Redo functions have been added to facilitate screen operations and program editing.
