FANUC ROBOCUT C400iB vs ONA AV60
FANUC vs ONA Electroerosion · Wire EDM
Summary
The FANUC ROBOCUT C400iB and the ONA AV60 are wire EDMs for different jobs. The FANUC ROBOCUT C400iB has 400 mm (15.75 in) of X travel and 300 mm (11.81 in) of Y travel. The ONA AV60 doubles both, at 800 mm (31.5 in) and 600 mm (23.6 in), and carries 5000 kg (11000 lbs) against 500 kg (1,102 lb).
The ONA AV60 is also taller: its Z travel comes in versions of 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 mm (19.7 / 23.6 / 27.5 / 31.5 in) against 255 mm (10.04 in), and its taper is listed as +/- 30° / 400 mm (15.8 in), optionally ±45°, where the FANUC lists ±30° at 80 mm height. The FANUC ROBOCUT C400iB runs finer wire, 0.1 - 0.3 mm against 0.20 / 0.33 mm (0.008 – 0.013 in).

| Y-Axis Travel | 300 mm (11.81 in) | 600 mm (23.6 in) ▲ |
| Z-Axis Travel | 255 mm (10.04 in) | 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 mm (19.7 / 23.6 / 27.5 / 31.5 in) |
| Max Table / Workpiece Load | 500 kg (1,102 lb) | 5000 kg (11000 lbs) ▲ |
| Wire Diameter Range | 0.1 - 0.3 mm | 0.20 / 0.33 mm (0.008 – 0.013 in) |
| Max Taper Angle | ±30° at 80 mm height | +/- 30° / 400 mm (+/- 30° / 15.8 in), optionally ±45° |
Advantages
FANUC ROBOCUT C400iB
- Runs wire down to 0.1 mm, against a 0.20 mm minimum on the ONA AV60
- Listed for precision die components and finish-critical parts
ONA AV60
- 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel and 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y, twice the FANUC ROBOCUT C400iB on both axes
- 5000 kg (11000 lbs) workpiece load against 500 kg (1,102 lb)
- Z travel versions from 500 mm (19.7 in) to 800 mm (31.5 in) against 255 mm (10.04 in)
- Taper of +/- 30° / 400 mm (15.8 in), optionally ±45°, against ±30° at 80 mm height
Verdict
Size decides this one. The ONA AV60 is for large die and mold plates and tall tapered work such as extrusion dies: 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel, a 5000 kg (11000 lbs) load and Z travel versions up to 800 mm (31.5 in). The FANUC ROBOCUT C400iB is for precision die components that fit within 400 mm (15.75 in) of X, 300 mm (11.81 in) of Y and 500 kg (1,102 lb), and for work that needs wire down to 0.1 mm.
