Our best estimate for a wire edm in this class — not a quote from GF Machining Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The AgieCharmilles CUT 2000 S is a compact wire EDM: the listed figures give 350 x 250 x 256 mm of X, Y and Z travel, ±70 mm on the U and V axes and a standard wire range of 0.10 to 0.30 mm. It is not in GF Machining Solutions' current lineup, so anyone looking at one today is most likely looking at a used machine.

The work envelope is larger than the axis travel suggests. Parts up to 750 x 550 x 250 mm can be loaded, so a plate wider than the 350 mm X stroke can sit on the machine as long as the contours to be cut fall inside the travel. The limit that bites first is weight: 200 kg. A thick tool-steel block or a die set with its clamping can pass that before it reaches the size limit, so weigh the heaviest blank and fixture before committing to the machine.

Taper cutting is rated at ±30° at 100 mm of height, using the ±70 mm U/V stroke. That covers clearance angles on punch and die work; the table gives no angle for taller sections.

Wire finer than 0.10 mm is an option: the table lists 0.05 to 0.07 mm as optional, which is what small inside radii need. Best surface finish is listed as Ra 0.07 µm, although a second row of the same table gives 0.05 µm, so ask for a test cut if finish is the reason for buying. The machine cuts in deionized water with an Intelligent Power Generator (IPG) and the AC CUT HMI, and takes wire spools up to 25 kg.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

350 x 250 x 256 mm of X, Y and Z travel, with room for workpieces up to 750 x 550 x 250 mm
±30° taper at 100 mm height, driven by ±70 mm of U and V travel
Optional 0.05-0.07 mm fine wire for small inside radii, beyond the standard 0.10 to 0.30 mm range
Best surface finish listed at Ra 0.07 µm
Wire spools of up to 25 kg, which stretch unattended runs between spool changes

Limitations

Workpiece weight is limited to 200 kg, half the 400 kg of the current AgieCharmilles CUT E 350
Wire finer than 0.10 mm needs the optional 0.05-0.07 mm equipment
The table lists two best-finish figures, Ra 0.07 µm and 0.05 µm, so the achievable finish should be proven on a test cut
No positioning-accuracy figure is listed, whereas the AgieCharmilles CUT 2000 X lists ±1.5 µm

Best For

Punch and die work in plates up to 750 x 550 x 250 mm Clearance and taper cuts up to ±30° at 100 mm height Fine-detail parts using the optional 0.05-0.07 mm wire Workpieces up to 200 kg including clamping

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the CUT 2000 S and the CUT 2000 X?

In the listed figures, only accuracy. The AgieCharmilles CUT 2000 X carries a total positioning accuracy row of ±1.5 µm (laser-calibrated), while the S table has no accuracy figure. Travel of 350 x 250 x 256 mm, ±70 mm on U and V, the ±30° taper at 100 mm, the wire range and the 200 kg workpiece limit are the same on both.

02 How large a part fits on the CUT 2000 S?

Up to 750 x 550 x 250 mm and 200 kg. The axes travel 350 x 250 x 256 mm, so a part can be wider than the area the wire reaches; the contours to be cut have to fall within that travel, and the fixture counts toward the 200 kg.

03 What wire sizes does the CUT 2000 S use?

The standard range is 0.10 to 0.30 mm. Wire of 0.05 to 0.07 mm is listed as optional, for small inside radii and fine detail, so check whether a used machine has that option fitted. Spools of up to 25 kg can be loaded.

04 How much taper can the CUT 2000 S cut?

The listed maximum is ±30° at a height of 100 mm, using U and V axes with ±70 mm of travel. Parts can be up to 250 mm tall, but the table gives no taper angle for heights above 100 mm, so steep tapers on thick sections should be confirmed on the machine.
