Vollmer has launched its VPulse 500 1000 Edition, an efficient wire erosion machine that the company says represents a significant leap forward in the manufacturing and maintenance of PCD tipped tools.
The VPulse 500 1000 Edition is a limited-time machine offer that celebrates more than 1000 Vollmer wire erosion machines installed worldwide. This exclusive machine is only available for a limited period and is supplied with Vollmer’s powerful EDM generator, the HR Automation system for increased tool capacity, oscillation eroding technology, PCD residue detection and more.
Notably, the new VPulse EDM erosion generator delivers either higher material removal rates or optimised surface quality to support diverse machining objectives. The integrated technology database simplifies operation by providing preconfigured parameters that enhance user-friendliness. Operators can quickly select appropriate material-specific machining programs, while the database can be expanded to meet specific customer requirements.
According to Vollmer, the machine’s state-of-the-art control technology delivers optimal machining performance through simultaneous path interpolation along five CNC axes, enabling measurement and erosion within a single clamping operation.
The machine accommodates machining with unsupported clamping and offers an optional counterpoint unit for machining between centres. Various interfaces provide flexibility for different workpieces.
Vollmer has developed an operating concept that prioritises human-machine interaction. The approach incorporates a flexible height-adjustable and tilting control panel that ensures operators maintain optimal views of both the display and machine work area. Operation occurs via touchscreen or mouse, with user-friendly menu navigation ensuring complex tasks can be performed with minimal training. Simple information retrieval provides access to essential program and machine parameters, while new documentation and analysis options support faster process optimisation.
