How much does the AccuteX AU-96iA cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the AccuteX AU-96iA that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

AccuteX AU-96iA — price

Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the AccuteX AU-96iA that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so this page shows no number rather than a guess. A quote from AccuteX or an authorised dealer is the reliable figure.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

Y travel is what sets the AccuteX AU-96iA apart. At 960 mm (37.8 in) by 600 mm (23.6 in) it is the widest of the AU machines that keep a 300 mm (11.8 in) Z stroke, where the AU-9iA and the AU-900iA stop at 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y. The workpiece limit is 1,435 x 860 x 295 mm (56.5 x 33.9 x 11.6 in) and 1,300 kg (2,866 lb).

That extra width changes what can be loaded. A square mould base, or two rows of inserts in a frame, fits where a narrower machine would need the part turned and set up again. The AU-9iA carries the same 1,300 kg (2,866 lb) but offers 900 mm (35.4 in) by 500 mm (19.7 in).

Nothing else grows with the table. U and V travel is still 100 x 100 mm (3.9 x 3.9 in), the taper limit ±21° H=100 and the spool 10 kg (22 lb). The machine weighs 5,600 kg (12,346 lb), and its listed footprint of 3,260 x 3,280 x 2,300 mm (128.3 x 129.1 x 90.6 in) is close to square.

Operators coming from another make will find the program side familiar. AccuteX says its control accepts NC code written for several other brands without modification, and the function list includes mirror, program rotation, axis exchange, sub programs and multi-block skip. The control is Windows on a 64-bit Industrial PC. AccuteX's page for this model prints a water capacity carried over from its smallest AU machine, so that figure is not shown.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y travel, the widest among AU models with a 300 mm (11.8 in) Z stroke
  • Workpieces up to 1,435 x 860 x 295 mm (56.5 x 33.9 x 11.6 in) and 1,300 kg (2,866 lb)
  • Control described as accepting NC code from several other brands of machine without modification
  • Near-square footprint of 3,260 x 3,280 x 2,300 mm (128.3 x 129.1 x 90.6 in)

Limitations

  • Wire spool is 10 kg (22 lb), small for a table of this area
  • Taper limited to ±21° H=100; the AU-860iA with the same 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y reaches ±30° / H100
  • Z stroke is 300 mm (11.8 in), where the AU-860iA has 400 mm (15.7 in)
  • No accessory lists on the page, so standard equipment is not documented
06

Best For

Square mould bases and frames up to 960 mm (37.8 in) by 600 mm (23.6 in) Wide plates that need the full 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y travel Shops with existing NC programs from other wire EDMs

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the AccuteX AU-96iA?

X is 960 mm (37.8 in), Y is 600 mm (23.6 in) and Z is 300 mm (11.8 in). U and V travel 100 x 100 mm (3.9 x 3.9 in) and the maximum cutting taper is ±21° H=100. The workpiece can measure up to 1,435 x 860 x 295 mm (56.5 x 33.9 x 11.6 in).

02 How does the AU-96iA compare with the AU-860iA?

Both have 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y travel. The AU-860iA is a larger class of machine with 800 mm (31.5 in) of X, a 400 mm (15.7 in) Z stroke, 150 x 150 mm (5.9 x 5.9 in) of U and V travel and a 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) workpiece rating. The AU-96iA is longer in X at 960 mm (37.8 in) and carries 1,300 kg (2,866 lb).

03 How heavy is the AU-96iA?

The machine weighs 5,600 kg (12,346 lb) and is rated for a workpiece of up to 1,300 kg (2,866 lb). The listed footprint is 3,260 x 3,280 x 2,300 mm (128.3 x 129.1 x 90.6 in). Allow for the water as well when checking the floor.

04 Can the AU-96iA run existing NC programs?

AccuteX states that the control is designed to be compatible with NC code for multiple brands of machine without modification. Programs are loaded by USB, Ethernet or FTP, and the control offers program edit, program simulation and dry run to check them before cutting.
