University and Competence Centers

Also in Universities and Competence Centers the installation of E.cut™t makes it possible to introduce the knowledge of wire erosion. With modest investment it is possible to show future technicians the advantages of E.cut™ technology, and its potential application in the mechanical industry.
Ecut’s wire-cutting technology, similar to the cutting technology of regular wire erosion, differs in a few points:
– Up to 20 times lower hourly operating cost than conventional wire erosion
– Machine cost up to 4 times lower than wire erosion with the same working dimensions.
– Cutting capacity on very high thicknesses
– Geometric error on high thicknesses irrelevant, ( no barrel effect )
– Simplicity of management of cutting parameters.

The combination of these features makes the E.cut™ system ideal for many machining operations carried out with chip removal, for which the use of conventional wire erosion, ( with brass wire jet ), would be impractical because too expensive.
Below are some examples of realities where Ecut’s potential has been captured and the system adopted.

Polytechnic University of Turin
at the Department of Management and Production Engineering, powders for additive printing are studied. The powders are then tested with 3D printing machines and the resulting parts are “peeled off” by E.cut™ from the plates on which they were reported .

Digital Universitas
Created by a group of industrialists from Brescia, it aims to train young technicians in the use of digital technologies within the mechanical industry

Two of the Italian competence centers are dedicated to the development of Additive Manufacturing knowledge.

CIM 4.0
CIM 4.0 is a Competence Center.

Time and cost calculation with Ecut

Estimating the cost of machining is one of the most delicate phases of any project. For each part, and for each stage of implementation, the time and cost will be carefully examined.
The use of E.cut™.is an alternative that has been taken into account and used in small, medium and large companies in Italy and Europe for several years now.
There is more than one reason for the use of E.cut™: accuracy on high thickness cuts, simplicity of use, but the most important reason in the end is the very low operating cost.

SEE ALSO THE NEW “COST MATTERS”

We are often asked to provide times and costs for machining with E.cut™.
We have been using a simple spreadsheet for years, and decided to put it on our site, available to anyone who wants to check it directly, without sending around drawings or files that might be confidential.
It”s very simple to use, and the results can be printed and archived.
The results depend on the generator, (CNC) used and the speed of removal. If you already own E.cut™ machines, you already know everything, if not, ask our technicians the first time you use it.

The removal rates basically depend on the roughness you want to achieve.
The higher the removal speed, the higher the roughness will be.
But the removal speed, whose maximum values are often exhibited by those who are not thoroughly familiar with this technology, is not the most important parameter. Usually, in fact, high stock removal values correspond to higher wire consumption, unstable machining, and frequent wire breakage.
The choice of generator is also something to consider carefully. A more powerful generator and higher speed are matched by less ease of operation, hence the need for more experienced operators…
A quick comparison with our technicians will allow you to identify the model and CNC that best meets your needs. ( we have over 100 different models of E.cut™ !)
