Study notes

• Water dielectric system uses an integrated reservoir in the base casting, with chiller, water filtration, and de-ionization systems.
• The work tank is a 3-sided programmable rise-and-fall type; the integral 2-axis rotary table allows access to multiple workpiece sides in one setup.
• The tooling system performs ATC (Automatic Tool Change) and AGC (Automatic Guide Change) simultaneously using a common pre-assembled Die Guide and Electrode unit exchanged within 45 seconds.
• A Middle Guide system prevents electrode bending and vibration during machining with long electrodes.
• The Hyper-i control uses a 24-inch class high-definition touch screen and Windows 7 operating system.
• Hyper-i control functions include canned cycles for diffuser shape programming, graphically driven part pick-up cycles, and intelligent electrode length management.
• Rotary table axes are listed as A: 360° and B: -110/+30°.
• Z stroke is listed as 500 mm, with 750 mm shown in parentheses.
• Tank size is 1,400 x 1,050 mm.
• Maximum workpiece weight is 50 kg, with 150 kg stated for an optional rotary table.
• Break-through detection is stated to detect electrode break-through within 1 second or 0.040 in (1.0 mm) of depth.
• The Hyper-i control is named but has no matching controller reference id.
