E.cut… why

At Camec in Palazzolo Milanese, they know what mechanics is.
For over fifty years, the battle with cents and microns has been daily, with microns, because at its birth in Camec microns were built, the “palmers” as the mechanics say, and to measure cents you have to keep an eye on the thousandths.

Over the years there is almost no sector of high precision mechanics in which the company has not operated, with equipment and machine tools at the forefront and at the top of the technological features that the market could offer.

But always to guide the choices of the engineer Dall’Aglio the motto “quality” = conformity to the purpose”.

28 years ago, when buying a wire erosion not being a mould maker was a bit crazy, the first one was purchased, but when a few years ago the engineer came to know Ecut, the purchase was immediate.
Even though he already has three wire erosions!

At the base of the choice some considerations.

1) The great majority of wire erosion works can be performed with Ecut with the same precision of a normal wire erosion, but at a cost up to 20 times lower.

2) At Ecut’s hourly cost, a lot of work can be performed that is not possible at the hourly cost of normal wire erosion.

3) For many details the working cycle can be revolutionized using Ecut not only in place of conventional wire erosion, but also eliminating milling, broaching, stocking, and often even grinding.

4) If there is a need to cut high thicknesses the lack of barrel effect makes the process with Ecut extremely convenient and competitive. ( Keys on bushings or very high pulleys )

5) Very high and thin pieces can be obtained with a single cut with perfect parallelism, without barrel effect.
Without the need for rework, often impossible because the thin piece is deformed after cutting.

6) The lack of immersion tank allows machining on pieces of considerable size.

Last but not least, the necessary investment.
A machine that cuts up to 400×320 for a thickness of 300 mm costs around 30,000 euros.

So great is the difference in hourly operating cost that in less than three years Ecut has overpaid itself, and the purchase of a second one is expected.

Brescian DOC

Yes, because Brescians are particular people.

Okay, they’ve been told that Ecut is nothing more than a hacksaw. But they want to understand things, not hear them!

So they started to sift through the picture, line by line, given by given. And they saw that it said that the accuracy is 0.015 mm. That the cut is perfectly vertical, without any curvature even on thicknesses over 200mm.
They evaluated the declared hourly cost.
They didn’t talk much. They asked to make a piece of their own.

They came to see the machine while it was cutting it. And, yes, there, while the machine was working, turning them around, they talked.
A lot.
They asked, they asked, they wanted to see below, above, outside and inside.
They wanted to hear the noise, and smell it.
They took the piece away. They let it lie down for a few days, then they checked it, measured it, x-rayed it.

And they ordered two cars!

Let’s not say that the people of Brescia are special because they bought two of our machines, but because they showed a pragmatism that does not always characterize the mechanical environment.

We know that Ecut is considered by many to be a hacksaw, a tunnel, but for them, as it is called, nothing matters.

They are interested in the final result.
