News Ecut

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.

Or almost. The last thread change in fact took place after more than 200 hours of cutting. Titanium, copper and steel have been processed. The cost of a 300 meter “coil” of wire is about 15 euros, so the cost per hour is 0.075 euros per hour. With a conventional wire erosion is unlikely to fall below 2.5 euros / hour, ie ‘for 200 hours you spend 500 euros of wire. Instead of 15 with E.cut!

For each month of work, calculating 400 hours of cutting, Mr. Sala spends 30 euros, while his competitors with conventional wire erosion spend 1000!

But that’s not the only reason to be satisfied. The coolant, based on natural water, protects against rust. It doesn’t have to use expensive stainless steel equipment to fix the parts. The low pressure and the lack of a tank allow it to process workpieces well in excess of the table size.

Cutting paths can be generated from DXF files, built with any CAD system. No need for CAM systems or post-processors. The CNC is an industrial PC with Windows XP operating system. With a simple remote control program the machine can be controlled, and controlled from the office, or from the… from home.

The experience of Genesis, the modifications and the electronic and mechanical devices made with respect to similar models, have led to a working precision perfectly aligned with conventional WEDMs.
On high thicknesses, the results are even much higher.
