Electronic componentsAccuracy is the keyto your productivityRepeatability and longer tooling life are “must haves” with component miniaturizationand increasing production volumes. Achieve the accuracy, machining repeatability andfiner surface finishes essential to your daily success with the new CUT P wire-cuttingEDM series. 2 µmpositioning andcontour accuracyAssembling more than 10 components—several millions of times—is one of themany challenges the ICT industry faces.Highly repeatable contour and positioningaccuracy in production is a must.4AgieCharmilles CUT P 350/550/800/1250

Master miniaturizationIntegrating greater functionality into smaller volumes haslong been a microelectronics industry characteristic, andGF Machining Solutions’ has been a miniaturization masterfor more than 60 years. The reproducibility of the millions ofplastic injection parts produced per mold is maximized byperfectly identical mold inserts. Achieve consistent precision on inserts, whatever your workshop conditions, withour superior 2 μm positioning precision, thermostabilization as standard, and very thin wire (70 μm diameter).Accelerate your return on investment (ROI)Microelectronics is a fast cycling market so you need blazingfast ROI. We support your fast ROI by delivering a solutionthat’s always ready to work. That includes smart modules tomaximize consumables efficiency and maintenance planning, and the opportunity to connect anytime with our support engineers.Stamping for data connectorsAccelerate your productivityInjecting or stamping millions of parts per year requires highest productivity and reduction of manual operations and related risks of failure. The CUT P series is fully Automationready through the entire machining process with probingmodule (3D setup) or automatic management of slugs. Experience a complete solution than can add more than 8,000 hoursof productivity per year to your operation.Achieve low running costsRunning costs—due to the high volume of injected orstamped parts—are among the biggest influences on yourcost per part. With the latest and fastest speed-oriented process, with wire consumption minimization as standard andsmart modules maximizing consumables efficiency, theCUT P series reduces running costs up to 20 percent compared to earlier models.Injection molding for camera module components5AgieCharmilles CUT P 350/550/800/1250

AutomotiveOptimize your workflow,reduce your time to marketShorter time to market, larger product portfolios and zero-defect manufacturing call forshorter, more efficient manufacturing flows, more flexible production lines, and morereliable processes. Overcome these challenges with the CUT P series’ machining qualityand efficiency solutions to optimize your production tool.up to 20%speed increasescompared to previousgeneration6AgieCharmilles CUT P 350/550/800/1250

Injection molding for car interiorsLower cost per part, greater mold lifetimeReduce the cost per part and increase the lifetime of yourmold with higher accuracy, machining repeatability, and finer surface finishes. With contour precision down to 2 μm,extreme repeatability and surface finishes down toRa 0.08 μm, more cycles are possible; at the same time, thenew Intelligent Power Generator (IPG) increases processspeed by 20 percent compared to earlier, similar machines.Reduced time to marketBeing a preferred supplier is directly linked to your ability tosupport the right quality products in the shortest time possible. With the new CUT P series, you have a complete production solution to do just that. Increase your efficiency with tooling for part setup outside of the machine, with Automation,automatic 3D setup, or workshop management software.Increase flexibility, reduce scrapMaster two absolutely contradictory trends: The market requires an ever-increasing number of products and variantsbut has no tolerance for manufacturing defects. Ramp up yourflexibility while reducing the risk of failure with the CUT P series’ thermostabilization, advanced accuracy, and automatedslug management solutions.Part production for gear boxes7AgieCharmilles CUT P 350/550/800/1250Connector and contact stamping

MedicalIncrease your designpossibilitiesContrary to common belief, EDM has many strong advantages over more traditional medical industrymanufacturing methods. With wire EDM as your solution, you easily execute complex geometries whilebenefitting from lower tooling costs, absence of machining forces, controlled biocompatibility, and awide variety of Automation choices.100%open to more flexibledesigns compared totraditional manufacturingtechniques such as millingand turning8AgieCharmilles CUT P 350/550/800/1250

Production efficiencyWith the increasing use of difficult-to-machine materials suchas stainless steels, cobalt chromium and titanium, wire EDMpresents substantial advantages versus traditional machiningtechnologies. Wire EDM prevents expensive cutting-tool costsand delivers absolutely burr-free parts regardless of part geometry. As machining forces are totally absent, part geometries are unaltered by the process and the clamping remainsvery simple.Part productionfor spinal implantTraceabilityIndustry regulations mandate full traceability of the manufacturing process, and our CUT P Series allows you to adhere tothe ISO 13485 medical standards. You can achieve total process control and traceability with our smart modules controlling consumables and our rConnect module ensuring permanent communication between the machine and the workshopmanager.BiocompatibilityProducing implantable parts implies manufacturing biocompatible technical materials. Perfect surface homogeneity isrequired, since no surface functionality alterations are permitted. For these purposes, the new digital IPG allows precise,fully controlled and reproducible surface integrity. For applications such as implants, our solution allows machining withtungsten wire to prevent any contamination of the part surface, providing full compliance with medical standards.Surgical toolsReduce risksAvoiding errors means reducing the human factor in themanufacturing process. During the EDM process for insertmachining, GF Machining Solutions provides fully Automation-ready solutions, from a robot for Tooling to a dedicatedmodule for automatic slug management.Injection moldingfor medical consumablesPart production forcervical implants* Injection molds for packagingBraunform GmbH9AgieCharmilles CUT P 350/550/800/1250
