CHMER DWC868 Fast Wire EDM

The DWC868 Fast Wire EDM is the product of decades of experience building EDM machine tools. It is a three-piece design comprised of the machine tool, DI tank and CNC control.

The DWC868 is an affordable solution to removing metal 3D additive parts from the build plate and an economical 4-axis Wire EDM. Unlike traditional brass wire EDMs, the reusable molybdenum wire automatically reverses its direction at the end of the spooling cycle; at which time the program feed rate briefly pauses and then ramps up as the wire feeds in the opposite direction. This wire may run up to 60-80hours before replacing depending on workpiece size and material type.

Unlike traditional wire EDMs, the Fast Wire EDMs are NOT FLUSH DEPENDENT! By this we mean that these Fast Wire EDMs will cut equally well in both good and bad flushing conditions! The dielectric is deionized water with an oil-based additive and the fast-moving wire (5 meters/second) pulls the swarf (chips) through the kerf without relying on high flush pressure. It is almost impossible to break the moly wire until it finally wears out.

In real cutting tests we are seeing speeds of 2-3 times faster than traditional wire EDMs in poor flush conditions like 3D additive build plates. These Fast Wire EDMs come complete with on-site setup and training; all you need to add is power 220/3/60 5kVA and water.

Includes installation and on-site training at no additional cost.
