HyperCUT Wire EDM-350

The HyperCUT Wire EDM is a CNC machine designed for high-precision cutting of electrically conductive materials (steel, aluminum, copper, carbides, titanium, etc.) using electrical discharges between a wire electrode and the workpiece. The process takes place in a dielectric fluid, where thousands of micro-discharges gradually remove material without any mechanical contact.

This is a toolroom-grade precision machine, intended for the production of molds, cutting tools, gears, precision components, and profiles where tolerances below 0,005 mm are required.

Construction and Design

• Massive cast iron frame for maximum stability and vibration damping
• X/Y/Z/U/V CNC control for taper cutting and complex geometries
• Fully enclosed dielectric chamber with automatic flushing system
• AC servo drives with linear measuring systems (Heidenhain / Renishaw)

Functionality and Software

• 3D visualization of the cutting path and erosion simulation
• Automatic wire wear compensation
• Real-time correction of arc voltage and sparking
• User interface compatible with DXF, STEP, IGES, and G-code
• Connectivity with CAM systems (e.g. Esprit, Mastercam, PEPS Wire)

Advantages

• No mechanical stress or deformation of the workpiece
• High accuracy on thin walls and small radii
• Ability to cut hardened steels, tungsten, carbides, and titanium
• Minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ < 2 µm)
• Low tooling costs – only wire and water are required

Typical Applications

• Molds and tooling for plastic injection molding, die casting, and forming
• Knives, dies, gears, slots, bearing housings
• Components for the aerospace and medical industries
• Prototype parts made from difficult-to-machine materials

Options

• Automatic wire changing system
• Additional C-axis for rotary machining (electrodes, rollers)
• Temperature-stabilized cooling system
• CAM connectivity with a network-based parameter library for various materials
