SPECIAL 2024 T+T TECHNIKA A TRH
Modern factories are adopting automation,
unmanned systems, and smart technologies
to enhance their product competitiveness.
For instance, in the case of wire cutting
machines, achieving automation and
unmanned operation faces challenges
in the removal of Core material after
processing. Observing the lack of wire
cutting machines with automatic Core
removal features domestically and the
dominance of foreign manufacturers with
related patented technologies, AccuteX
has developed the AZ-600 model. This
model utilizes UV-axis tilting processing
combined with an air pressure cylinder
punch to achieve automatic core removal.
AccuteX's latest model, AZ-600,
features a new mechanical design and
the incorporation of a next-generation
controller. Besides high machine precision
and processing accuracy, it significantly
improves stability in operation and
processing. With the integration of the
powerful CPU computing capability of
the new controller and a new automatic
core removal system, it facilitates
industrial internet connectivity, integrated
automation, unmanned operation, and the
establishment of a processing database,
providing users with enhanced usability
and creating higher added value.
AccuteX is a company capable of
developing and mastering complete
automation functions from core wire
cutting technology and CNC controllers
to the entire processing process, offering
comprehensive and professional solutions
for all wire cutting applications.
1. Innovations:
The features of auto core slug and auto
calibration have implemented 100%
automatic operation of Wire EDM.
The key innovation characteristics are:
a. Integrated Electromagnetic Core
Removal Mechanism with Flushing Cap
(for magnetic materials):The traditional
method of removing final core from
workpiece involves manual intervention
and judgment. AccuteX's innovative
design integrates an electromagnetic
mechanism into the flushing cap on the
machine head. The electromagnetic
mechanism attracts and holds
core when it falls after cut-off, and
the machine's Z-axis automatically lifts
to remove the core from the workpiece,
transferring to the Core collection box.(
Patent number: I676513)
b. Integrated Machine Head - Core
Removal Mechanism (Stamping-type
Core Removal): For materials without
magnetic properties or Core with
conical cuts, AccuteX utilizes UV-axis
tilting processing and a Stamping-
type Core Removal mechanism. This
innovative approach, combined with
the built-in computing program of the
new controller, enables precise removal
through synchronized motion of the
upper and lower machine heads. (Patent
number: I745051)
c. Automatic Mold Precision Calibration:
Traditional wire cutting machines involve
a tedious manual calibration process
before processing. AccuteX's innovation
combines software and hardware,
using G-code commands to execute
the manual calibration process through
an NC program. The new edge-finding
circuit, developed by AccuteX, enhances
accuracy by detecting the edge of the
workpiece even in the presence of
water. This eliminates the need to dry the
workpiece completely before reliable
edge-finding and improves repeat ability
to within ±1.5µm.
2. Smart Features and Practicality:
a. Smart Integration: The controller of
this product is the only one in the wire
cutting EDM industry that can integrate
with the CIMFORCE production
development management system.
It offers an End-to-End solution from
project management, mold design,
process processing to mold trial
molding, integrating RFQ, DFM, CAE,
CAD CAM, CAPP, PLM, MES, and other
functional G-codes for streamlined
machine program data. It also integrates
FMS functions for material storage and
electrode/template management.
b. Integration with External Systems:
AccuteX provides software SDK for
system integration, allowing external
systems to retrieve information
from the controller for analysis. This
flexibility in integrating with various
smart production systems enhances
adaptability for production factories.
c. Automation and Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT): Combining innovative
AccuteX AZ-600 High Precision
Wire EDM with Smart Manufacturing
Based on TrendForce research, it is indicated that due to the accelerated digital
transformation under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with increased
demand for remote operations, automation, and value-added services incorporating
5G and advanced AI technologies, the market is expected to reach $620 billion by
2026, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. TrendForce suggests
that the benefits of smart manufacturing have shifted from conservative strategies
like strengthening manufacturing resilience to gradually enhancing capacity, efficiency,
energy savings, and recycling, becoming a crucial factor driving market growth.
