Automatic Erosion
Programming
With its AEP programming
(Automatic Erosion
Programming) a conversational
type of data input takes place.
The relevant instructions appear
on the screen and the user is
guided through all the phases of
programming. This means that
thanks to AEP simplicity the time
to productivity is the absolute
minimum and even new users
can be programming complex
forms within hours of delivery.
From simple moulds with one
electrode through to complex
moulds with several cavities,
the AEP system guarantees
reliability.
The machine has several orbit
shapes.

High-Speed and High-Performance Milling Centers
In terms of cutting speed, HSM centers are 10 times faster than
conventional milling machines. Greater accuracy and a better surface
finish are also achieved. This means that even tempered materials
can be machined to a condition where they are largely ready to use.
One essential advantage of HSM is that with systematic integration,
the process chain can be significantly shortened. HSM has developed
alongside EDM into one of the key technologies in mold and tool making.
Electric Discharge Machines
EDM can be used to machine conductive materials of any hardness (for
example steel or titanium) to an accuracy of up to one-thousandth of
a millimeter with no mechanical action. By virtue of these properties,
EDM is one of the key technologies in mold and tool making. There are
two distinct processes wire-cutting EDM and die-sinking EDM.
Laser ablation
Laser ablation supplements and extends the technologies offered by
GF AgieCharmilles. With our laser technology we enable you to produce
texturizing, engraving, microstructuring, marking and labeling of 2D
geometries right through to complex 3D geometries. Laser ablation,
compared to conventional surface treatment using manual etching
processes, offers economic, ecological and design advantages.
