E.cut, opportunities for third parties

The use of E.cut expands at companies that carry out work on behalf of third parties.

In fact, they are the subcontractors, the most attentive to the possibilities that new technologies offer for the execution of parts obtained before milling, or cutting with laser or water.

In the field of conventional mechanical workshops, the adoption of wire erosion is not favourably seen, both for the high purchase cost and for the considerable operating cost.

The resulting hourly cost makes it too expensive and impossible to adopt, even when wire erosion technology would be the ideal solution for many processes.
( Without counting the difficulty of an uncommon technology outside the mould sector ).

E.cut technology, thanks to its simplicity, has very affordable purchase costs, from 3 to 10 times lower than similar machines.
The insignificant operating costs and more than 20 times lower, ( 0,40 €/hour against 10/15 €/hour of a conventional wire erosion ), open new horizons, and new opportunities.
Both for the customer and for the contractor who fully understands how it works.

The cutting characteristics of E.cut are exalted when there are to be cut materials that are difficult to machine (stainless steel, Inconel, high strength steels, titanium, hard metal,..). No tools, no grinding wheels, no thrown wire, therefore practically no tool cost.

The first image is of an American company for its headquarters in the Far East. (There departments with 40 wire machines type E.cut are common).

The second image is of a company from Eastern Europe, a very important market for these machines.

But the last two are by Italian companies.
The last image is of a company that after only one year from the purchase of the first machine (you can see, blue, behind the one in the foreground), has bought a second one.

E.cut, innovation at no cost

After 1500 hours of work, about six months, the cost of purchasing E.cut has been completely and largely repaid!

And only with the reuse of the scraps that before went into chips! (over 50,000 euros)

Of course, wire erosion!
But wire erosion has existed for 50 years. Why has it never been used?

For three main reasons:

1) Because the acute cost of wire erosion cutting thicknesses over 200mm is considerable. ( Over 100.000 euro)

2) Because the hourly cost of operation is quite high (over 12 euros/hour)

3) Because the machining times of wire erosion are more than double those of machining with chip removal.

The combination of these factors has therefore prevented its use.
Especially the last factor, the processing time, makes it practically impossible to use. Too few parts can be produced monthly!

What changes with E.cut ?

That with the cost of a wire erosion, you can buy two Ecut, often three!

And with three Ecut you can make enough pieces every month!

If you consider that the hourly operating cost of an Ecut, for the 1500 hours mentioned above, does not exceed 500 euros, compared to at least 15,000 euros of a conventional wire erosion, you can see how and how innovative the choice of Ecut is.

Innovation is spending of wire, liquid and maintenance 1000 euros in one year instead of 30000!

Innovation is recovering up to 100,000 euros per year of material that previously went into chips!

The technological innovation of E.cut is the precision of the machining compared to a conventional machine at an operating cost 20 times lower.

Without the need for reworking, with a single cut even with strong removal, the geometry is perfect, without any curvature due to the barrel effect.

The E.cut technology “stresses” the cut surface much less, and the presence of surface microcracks is much lower than any other wire erosion.
