I run a FANUC C400iA.
Usually I only use a brass wire (Hitachi 0.25mm) because it's easy and cheap.
I have a possible job coming up to cut a 3D printed alloy which I do quite often because we have 2 different 3D printers here.
However, for this particular job no copper, brass, or zinc can come near this material, so I started looking at molybden wire.
After some googling it looks like I can get a 0.18mm moly wire quite easily. Can I run this in my machine?
The manual says moly and tungsten wires don't work with ROBOCUT, but I assume that just means that the auto threading etc. won't work, but I can just thread it by hand right?
I know this machine can do 0.1mm wire thickness assuming you have the correct feed guides and so on.
Is this possible?
