GF AgieCharmilles’ AT Spirit 2 is a completely integrated EDM system that fits in a compact 4 ft by 5 ft work zone. No external cables or hoses are necessary since everything – filters, electrode magazine, dielectric unit, CNC and generator – fits in this space.
The Spirit 2 was designed to handle a range of applications, from simple repair jobs to complex multiple cavities. The manual-centering mode provides a means of precisely centering an electrode in an existing cavity without any tedious and time-consuming CNC programming. An APG generator, a highly rigid C-frame construction, and a 4-position electrode magazine, is integrated into the work tank. It is a "Plug & Play" EDM system; upon delivery, all that is required is that the unit be leveled and connected to electrical and air supplies. Start up and production are achieved within an hour. The flexible user interface reduces programming times to minutes instead of hours by simplifying complex job programming for multi-cavity, planetary, helical shape, deep rib and four-axis erosion. The system also provides full erosion path contouring capabilities.
Automatic Erosion Programming control makes it easy for users to select erosion technologies by application type, set minimum wear and maximum removal priorities, and get perfect results on the first try. Some of the built-in planetary (orbiting) application technologies on the Spirit 2 are: EQUIMODE, circular orbit, 2D vector, 3D vector, continuous rotation, continuous circle or sphere, and contouring.
