Makino SP43

The SP43 machine is an extremely fast wire-cutting machine,
able to hold tolerances of ±5 microns. The unit can be used
for many diverse applications, from tall workpieces to
precision small holes. The SP43 generates a surface finish of
16µmRy on one pass, shape accuracy of three-pass
machining in just two passes with a surface finish 12µmRy
and a surface finish of 4µmRy with an overall speed of
94mm2/min. in three-pass machining. The programmable
auto-threading unit of the SP43 has a 15-second thread time.
Field-proven, two-piece "V" type wire guide improves
accuracy and reliability. The wire guide is cleaned by simply
opening the guide and wiping it with a cotton swab. Cleaning
takes only a few minutes. Since the wire guide is not
removed, there is no need to align the wire vertically after
cleaning. The wire generally accounts for 40% of the total
running cost. By controlling the feedrate, the SP43 reduces
the running cost substantially. Filters, energizing plates and
other consumables are available at lower cost than before.
Optimal control of the spark discharge condition achieves
stable machining of workpieces involving step differences
without any wire breakage.
