Increase yield

The four notches of these six large special hard steel ferrules, (45Hrc), were obtained without any fastening equipment, without any special hob or cutter, in one fell swoop. They cost about 20 times less than with normal wire erosion. An incomparably lower cost than normal milling.

Titanium’s a bad beast to cut. The best thing is to get as close as possible to the final measurement with erosion, and so it’s done. But here an E.cut is used. The 12 hours of work to cut these pieces, of pure cost are worth 6 euros with E.cut, at least 120 euros with a normal wire erosion. The precious, and expensive, wire erosion is better to stay still, or maybe do jobs that make it pay for what it costs!

Of course, it doesn’t happen every day that you have to work on such high or such long pieces. But when it happens, or you go out, with costs and expectations that everyone knows, or if you have machines so ‘capable, you do not look at what it costs. The smallest E.cut cut cuts a thickness of 300 mm, and an average machine has strokes of 800×630 mm, with capacities up to 3000 kg.

With a cost ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 euros, with the possibility ‘to rent a car in advance zero, for 60 months, and blackmail 1%, an E.cut and’ a minimum investment to make it more’ your machines!

Quality and Quality

Launched in Italy a few years ago with the slogan “a new way of cutting metals”, Ecut has been a discovery for many companies.

When we explain that the technology was wire erosion, many people are perplexed, in some cases disappointed.

But when they analyze in depth the characteristics of Ecut, they realize what is new. The cost of ownership is new.

The simple and functional idea of the drum that wraps and unwinds the wire allows its use without throwing it away, and makes it run 100 times faster ‘self-cleaning’ the cutting area making it unnecessary to wash under pressure and the immersion tank.

The lack of barrel effect makes the working precise even on high thicknesses, and without the need for a revision.

The high frequency of discharges at lower power levels makes surface hardening and the triggering of microcracks irrelevant.

The liquid used, an emulsion with normal natural water, protects from rust, and does not require expensive systems with ion exchange resins.

The insertion of the cutting paths directly from drawings in DXF or DWG, and a simple table, a single sheet, with the cutting parameters make it easy to use even without any specific experience.

These characteristics lead to an operating cost that is 10 to 20 times less than that of normal wire erosion.

And this is the new fact.

With these costs it is possible to use them for machining that is ideal for wire erosion, but impossible due to the high cost. The examples of this new one are only a few but every day new applications are suggested to us.

Ask us for a working estimate. We will provide you with a simple spreadsheet with which you can then check the costs for your other processes.
