With three machine sizes, the reliable IPG-V generator, a new optimised operator surface and many
Agiecut Vertex extras as standard, the well-proven ED wire-cutting series is being further enhanced in
value with more power, more precision and convenience. When taper cutting, new toroids allow an
increased wire tension, thus benefiting the form accuracy and the surface quality. For all the Progress V
models there is an extension kit available for thinner wires down to 0.07 mm and an SF module for
roughnesses below Ra 0.1 µm.

The generator
with Vertex technology
Fully digitised pulse control. The
generator and in particular analogue
electronics have been combined into
one single digital element. This contains a multitude of individual components and is programmable.
Changes can thus be carried out by
means of the software, without having to change the PC boards. Innovations can be imported immediately.
8
Intelligent
generator
Increased EDM output, more powerful
electronics, efficiently controlled EDM
process. With IPG-V (Intelligent Power
Generation Vertex) an improvement
in the form factor of the pulses and a
reduction in the pulse duration are
achieved.
Individualised
technologies
The best possible cutting technology
from a database of pulses instead of
a technology database. Alternative
proposals for the quality targets are
given. Whether brass or coated,
whether thick or thin, with every wire
type both, maximum cutting rates in
full cut and finest surfaces and best
precision in trim cut are achieved.
ED wire cutting that allows to reliably
achieve the desired result without the
need of test cuts. Teccut technologies
are generated individually in accordance with workpiece features. For
this, the workpiece is described with
its height, form, material, surface
quality and accuracy. According to the
material and quality target, Teccut selects the pulses for the full cut. Building up on this technology, the pulses
for the trim cuts are called up
through algorithms and are then
adapted individually to the actual
working conditions and the required
precision. A machining made to
measure, without compromises in respect to workpiece height, precision
or cutting rate.
Precision
full cut
Reduced number or even completely
eliminated trim cuts. Individually generated technologies allow single precision full cuts, depending on the
accuracy and surface quality required.
Controlled
process
Continuously optimised servo with
state-of-the-art FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) technology
and completely digital data recording.
At the same time, the current state of
the process is measured as close to
the spark as possible and, thanks to
the enormous computer throughput,
kept continuously at an optimal level.
Less power
consumption
Significant less power consumption at
higher cutting rates with the IPG-V
generator.
Best operating
efficiency
Fast cutting speeds can be achieved
with eCut technologies and wires
from 0.1 to 0.15 mm diameter. eCut
technologies cut down strikingly on
the consumption of filters and resin,
as well as of both, coated and brass
wire. Less deposits of wire material
on the workpiece reduce the trim
cuts. Cut surfaces on workpieces
have a homogeneous surface according to the roughness value. eCut
technologies reduce the spark gap in
the case of fine wire machining jobs
so that absolute accuracy is realised
in the case of complex contours and
the smallest inside radii.

The Generator
with Vertex Technology
Physical and process-determined
influences are continuously regulated and optimised by the control system. The efficiency of the pulses
is converted specifically into precision-leading results. In combination
with the IPG-V heavy duty generator, these exclusive functions increase the accuracy on the workpiece.
Fast machining
High speeds and fine roughness are
achieved with the IPG modules of the
reliable, fully digitised Vertex generator. Roughing pulses are perfectly
adapted to the wire diameter and
workpiece.
Accurate
linearity
Perfect contour accuracy and cylindricity. With AWO (Advanced Wire Offset), the influences of wire wear and
flushing are technologically compensated.
Highest
form accuracy
Best accuracy and linearity are
achieved on the whole contour. Wire
Bending Control determines the lateral wire deviation, caused by the
process, in real time and is corrected
with the process control, even at high
cutting rates. At every point of the
contour cut, WBC reliably implements the precision and roughness
target entered in the control system –
both in the case of cylindrical and tapered and also stepped workpieces.
10
Without WBC
With WBC
Constant speed
in all contours
Precise full cuts at maximum speed.
Dynamic Corner Control continuously corrects physically determined
contouring errors. The wire path is
dynamically optimised. As a result,
the quality of the geometry in full
cuts improves so that trim cuts can
be carried out faster, reduced or
even avoided.
Automatic
power adjustment
Power is automatically adjusted to
changing conditions. With Variocut,
stepped workpieces or workpieces
provided with openings can be cut at
optimal speed as the cutting cross
section is continuously monitored.

The largest-dimensioned, high precision recirculating ball screws, as well
as pre-tensioned, closed and also
large-dimensioned guides on all axes,
a long working life and high precision
on the workpiece are ensured.
Optimal
temperature stability
All the heat generated in the system is
dissipated by cooling water. The cooling of the generator, control system
and dielectric unit is regulated by heat
exchangers.
Certified
quality
Every Agiecut Progress V is laser
measured, followed by cutting a pallet
with practice-oriented inspection
pieces. The Progress V is supplied with
an integrated quality certificate. The
time taken for the complete test is almost double as much as that for the
actual assembly.
Trendsetting
compact construction
The machine, control system, generator and dielectric unit are integrated in
a space saving arrangement in the fully
encased system. Agiecut Progress V
machines are delivered as one unit on
a frame with rollers. The machine can
thus be manoeuvred with minimum effort and, thanks to its small footprint, it
also fits in narrow places. Putting into
service is extremely simple with a total
of just 4 connections.
Increased
wire tension
Improved form accuracy and surface
quality on tapered surfaces. A changed
geometry of the toroids, allows an increased wire tension during taper cutting and the wire is optimally guided.
Reliable

PARTNER TO THE BEST
The address
for over 50 years
of ED machining
22
Electrical erosion, also called EDM –
Electric Discharge Machining, is a
young technology. Over 50 years old.
Just as young as Agie. A technology,
which has been decisively influenced
and shaped by Agie in this time. What
is EDM? By using electrical discharge
machining, conducting materials of
any hardness can be machined with
an accuracy of down to one thousandth of a millimetre, practically
without mechanical influence. This
makes EDM the key technology for
the manufacture of the demanding
moulds and punches which are
used for the mass production of
parts made of plastic, metals
and glass. Objects from our
everyday life: toothbrushes,
mobiles, PET bottles, computers, cutlery, ski boots,
ballpoint pens, car components, toys, implants, instruments – the series could be
continued at will, proving impressively that EDM is a dynamic technology with unlimited potential for the future.
