News Ecut

The accuracy guaranteed by E.cut is +/- 0.015 mm. A precision into which most of the machining operations fall.

Almost always a precision of this type is the result of roughing and finishing operations. Even in the case of conventional wire erosion, when the thickness of the wire exceeds 100 mm, the “barrel” effect comes into play, so that in the central area the cut is sometimes a few tenths wider. A revision is therefore necessary.

E.cut, thanks to its wire reuse technology, allows such a high sliding speed that the barrel effect disappears, so that with a single pass the cut is perfectly tailored. Dimensional and geometric.
The thickness of the cut, (from 300 mm. of the smallest to 800 mm. of the largest), does not affect the precision at all,

In the figure to the side, the 330 mm high bushing requires a 12 mm wide by 8 mm deep groove, and the result is within a hundredth.
No
tool, no tools for gripping, very simple program.

Beyond the pure cost, which is not real with E,cut, the difficulty that a similar process presents, often discourages the designer, and when it is not possible to do otherwise we go with wire erosion. Machines that work so thick are not, however, in the possession of many, and the cost becomes very high. Often prohibitive.

The incredible precision/cost ratio of E.cut opens up new possibilities already at the level of design of the pieces.

ZABER 50 years at the forefront, … and unconventional choices !

Yes, because when Mr. Zaro and Mr. Bertolli, the two partners, more than two years ago took the decision, among the first in Italy to buy an E.cut, and one of the biggest, the skepticism shone through among the collaborators.

But 50 years of iron do not flow at all in the veins, and lead to a capacity ‘of analysis free from conditioning and clichés.

In the face of processes that had always been carried out in a certain way, Ecut represented something completely new on paper.
Keys on large pieces, high and narrow square holes, internal teeth on large bushings, were pieces already ‘previously performed, and of which we knew times and difficulties’. Ecut’s decidedly limited cost also made the decision less “heroic”.

Confirmations arrived in a few months, and as soon as the machine started to be “full”. a decision has been made to buy another one!
The biggest one in production!
An Ecut 120 with working strokes of 1600×1200 mm, a cutting height of up to 800 mm, and a load capacity of pieces up to 3000 kg.

The economic commitment is a bit greater, but after two years of experience, after comparisons with “as before”, the choice was much less painful.
The possibility of carrying out even small operations, despite the size of the machine, favoured the decision to take the largest one.
Not needing the operator, with a single placement, from a large plate more ‘pieces can be cut, taking advantage of nights, Saturdays, and Sundays.
