Hi Everybody!!
I'm running a couple of Agie-Charmilles cut 300 machines and we are looking at reducing cycle times on our production parts.
Just wondering if anyone has some advice/tips/tricks to improve cycle times. Is there a wire that cuts super fast? Are there any technology settings that can be overridden to make it go faster? Do you have some tricks that you've learned over the years to increase feed rate? We are only roughing so accuracy isn't as important as speed. Currently we are doing tapers that are around 27 degrees so I do need a wire that can handle that but I am working on reducing the taper to broaden my wire options.
Does anyone have experience with angling the work pieces to get rid of the extreme tapers?
Thanks!
mike
