News Ecut

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.

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.
