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.
