A series of upgrades for GF Machining Solutions’ wire EDM machines will future-proof their performance, says the company. The upgrades relate to the CUT C, E and P wire EDM ranges, increasing their productivity, functionality, autonomy and process reliability.

For instance, with the Turbo Tech upgrade, customers can improve their processes and achieve higher quality and productivity. By applying the upgrade, the machine is provided with an additional technology priorities option – a compromise between speed and accuracy – in good or bad flushing conditions. Productivity can increase from 10% to 40%, depending on the geometry of the part and the flushing conditions experienced.

If customers need additional functionality they can enhance their machines with the Taper Expert upgrade (pictured), which enables the machining of large taper parts.

Customers can also increase the autonomy of their machines. One example is the big spool upgrade (up to 25 kg wire), which ensures longer process continuity with no need for constant wire changes.

In addition, users can take advantage of GF Machining Solutions’ rConnect platform, which comprises three digital services: rConnect Customer Cockpit, rConnect Live Remote Assistance and rConnect Messenger. With the ultra-secure hotline, rConnect Live Remote Assistance, customers benefit from the personal support of GF Machining Solutions’ qualified experts, while the rConnect Messenger app allows them to gain remote access to their machines and receive status updates on their mobile devices.

Thanks to the recently developed Seamless Support, a new module in Live Remote Assistance, customers are able to generate their service requests or ask questions about applications directly from their control system.
