Abstract
A wire electrical cutting machine for machining a circular part by a wire electrode.
Claims12
A wire electrical cutting machine for machining a circular part by a wire electrode, comprising
- a machine base;
- a column mounted on the machine base;
- a first rotary axis unit for rotating the part around a first horizontal rotary axis (C), wherein the first rotary axis unit is mounted on the column;
- a machine table bearing a wire traveling circuit, which includes a first wire guiding head and a second wire guiding head and the wire electrode traveling between the first wire guiding head and the second wire guiding head, in particular in one direction;
- and
- a first linear axis unit configured for moving the machine table along a first linear axis and a second linear axis unit configured for moving the machine table along a second linear axis, wherein the first linear axis unit is mounted on the machine base and the second linear axis unit is mounted on the first linear axis unit, and the machine table is mounted on the second linear axis unit, wherein the first and the second linear axes are arranged orthogonally with respect to each other and orthogonally with respect to the first rotary axis;
- wherein at least one of the linear axis units moves vertically;
- and
- wherein the wire electrode is positioned below the first rotary axis to machine the part.
