Machine Comparison
GF AgieCharmilles CUT E 600 vs GF AgieCharmilles CUT F
GF Machining Solutions vs GF Machining Solutions · Wire EDM
Summary
The GF AgieCharmilles CUT E 600 and the GF AgieCharmilles CUT F are both GF wire EDMs with different aims. The CUT E 600 is an everyday production machine for die plates and punches using standard wire sizes; the CUT F is aimed at fine-detail parts and mold inserts that need very fine wire and finishes.
On the table the CUT E 600 is the larger machine: 600 mm of X travel against 350 mm (13.8 in), 400 mm of Y against 250 mm (9.8 in), 350 mm of Z against 256 mm (10.1 in), and a 1000 kg load against 500 kg (1,102 lb). The table lists no wire or finish figures, so the strengths of the CUT F in fine work cannot be compared in numbers here.
