Measuring machine Contura 2G
The Contura 2G measuring machine from Carl Zeiss Messtechnik GmbH is currently equipped with the Calypso 2019 software and the VAST XT probe. The probe allows for scanning a variety of contours. By importing 3D data (e.g., STEP models), a comparison can be made between the desired and the eroded shapes.
Additionally, individual workpieces are measured on the mounted reference system with the installed Preset Module (as of 2019) to transfer the measurement data to the respective wire EDM machines.

| Z (mm) | 600 |
Automation (Work-Pal 3R-System)
Achieving efficient production with wire EDM machines involves several components. A comprehensive clamping and reference system is crucial. We use Unimatic pendulum plates and System 3R clamping elements. Workpieces are aligned parallel to the axes on a presetting station and measured on the Zeiss CONTURA 2G measuring machine.
The measurement data is transferred to the wire EDM machines. Measured workpieces are then placed on the pallet stations of the Work-Pal robots (System 3R).
With the reference system and pneumatic clamping chucks on the machine table, a solid foundation for automation is created. The Work-Pal robots, connected with the AgieCut Progress 2 machines, enable a fully automated production cell that can handle up to 12 pallets independently. This eliminates time-consuming setup processes, minimizes downtime, and optimizes machine capacity. As a result, we can perform wire EDM faster and more cost-effectively.
Unimatic pallet holder C 950 000
We optimize our manufacturing processes with the Unimatic pallet holder C 950 000. This allows for fast and precise positioning of your workpieces, ensuring maximum efficiency and productivity.
Set Unizero Go! S112 050
With the Unizero Go! S112 050 set, we enhance your manufacturing efficiency. We provide optimal workpiece clamping for precise results and quick setup times in your production.
Unimatic pendulum pallets (C950 150 & C951 150)
We use the Unimatic pendulum pallets (C950 150 & C951 150) for flexible and precise workpiece processing. This ensures efficient handling and high repeat accuracy in manufacturing.

Rotary and indexing spindle
Rotary and indexing spindles are used on wire EDM machines. They offer a cost-effective alternative to hard turning or fine grinding. Small parts (pins, needles, etc.) made from stainless steels, hard and non-ferrous metals, as well as conductive ceramics that can no longer be manufactured conventionally through turning, grinding, etc., can be efficiently produced using these spindles.
The rotary/indexing spindles from Carl Hirschmann GmbH provide not only high-speed rotation but also precise indexing and simultaneous processing (controlled by the machine). This enables the erosion of fine rotationally symmetric structures, as well as precise surfaces and contours.
