ONA is introducing its AV35 Next, the evolution of its AV35 wire EDM, incorporating a number of notable improvements. The development and studies carried out for this new model have allowed ONA to offer particular enhancements in precision, reliability and productivity, as well as handling. Furthermore, the AV35 Next offers automation and monitoring options that improve overall machine performance.

This new wire EDM machine brings together the best of ONA’s 70 years of experience with different technologies, to offer users optimal ergonomics, ease of use and precision in the production of parts.

From the perspective of precision, the machine’s structure sees a change of the tank rear closure system in order to reduce both friction and backlash. There is also a wider range of wire tension (from 100 to 3000 kg), with more optimisation of the wire brake wheel’s repositioning capabilities.

Among the features boosting autonomy is filter cartridge status monitoring. The machine notifies operators that the filter cartridges are becoming saturated, so they can plan to replace them with new ones at the most convenient time. There is also an option for an external wire feeder for spools of up to 45 kg, compatible with the existence of the standard feeder for spools of up to 16 kg included on the front of the machine.

As another benefit, the machine is more flexible than its predecessor model, chiefly due to automatic threading with special wires. It is now easy to configure custom wires in order to adapt the automatic threading to other types of wire that do not resemble those which appear in the tables that the machine incorporates.
