News 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.

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™ !)

For more than 30 years, these machines have been widely used in eastern countries for metal cutting and processing.
The basic reason for the widespread use is the low cost of operation.
The simplicity of the machine’s structure results in negligible maintenance costs, low incidence of breakdowns, and a decidedly low machine cost.
The ability to cut even with the smallest models very high thicknesses, up to 500 mm, with an accuracy within 0.015 mm and a lack of “barrel” effect, makes the system “revolutionary” compared to the expensive technology of conventional wire erosion

The following piece, designed and made with E.cut™ machines by G.E.S., ( https://www.gesingranaggi.com ) perfectly illustrates the great possibilities of the system.
It could have been made with conventional machining by removal, or with any conventional wire erosion, but the cost would have been at least 10 times higher.
With Ecut there are no tools to preset and load.
The ‘tool is the wire that makes a 0.2mm cut. The cutting path is obtained directly from the drawing in DXF format.
But the ‘aspect that makes it “revolutionary” is that this machining was performed in a small company, in which there could hardly have been wire erosion !!!
At G.E.S. in a little over a five-year period 3 Ecut machines have been installed, and the range of machining to their customers has been expanded.

Cutting, or a profiled cut of pipes or profiles is uneconomical with conventional wire erosions.
The problems are :
– Wire breakage due to uneven washing/cooling.
– Size limitation due to tank processing.
– Limitation of bar feed equipment due to tank machining.
– Limited cutting height with “normal” machines.
With the E.cut™ system these limitations do not exist.
– Processing does not take place in the tank.
– Wire washing/cooling is drop-in.
– Already from the smallest Ecut the cutting height is 500mm, and can be up to 800mm
– The lack of a tank makes it possible to prepare systems for bar feed.

The cut is without burrs, not altering the characteristics of the material.
Pipe fixing is “gentle” and does not cause deformation.

The simplicity of construction makes it possible to prepare large machines with working ranges practically impossible with conventional wire erosion.
Working strokes of up to 2000mm x 1200mm with cutting heights of up to 800mm and workpiece capacities of up to 6000 kg make wire erosion machining possible on large workpieces, with considerable economic advantages.
A modest cost favors its ‘use for machining operations hitherto unimaginable with wire erosion.
