How much does the GF Machining AgieCharmilles CUT F 600 cost?
Estimated price range
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 F 600 is the mid-range wire EDM machine of GF's 600 size, aimed at mould making, stepped parts and long machining cycles. It has 600 mm of X, 400 mm of Y and 350 mm of Z travel, takes a workpiece of 1030 x 800 x 350 mm up to 1000 kg, and threads wire from 0.10 to 0.30 mm.
GF gives its best finish by material: 0.14 μm Ra in carbide and 0.18 μm Ra in steel. That split is useful, since most tables quote one number without saying what was cut. Taper is ± 30°/50 mm, from U/V axes of ± 50 mm.
The envelope is shared with the AgieCharmilles CUT E 600 and the AgieCharmilles CUT P 600, so what places the CUT F 600 between them is wire and features. It threads 0.10 mm wire where the AgieCharmilles CUT E 600 starts at 0.15 mm, and adds Dynamic Corner Control, which uses dedicated algorithms to hold sharp geometry through corners. For a mould maker cutting cores, inserts and stepped sections, corner accuracy is usually what decides whether a part needs a further pass.
Several of the CUT F features are options. ISPS, which protects against wire breakage in unattended cuts, iWire, which reduces wire consumption, and Renishaw probing for part positioning are each listed as optional. Standard are the IPG generator, Spark Track process monitoring and the wire circuit design. The machine measures 2160 x 3400 x 2600 mm and weighs 4240 kg without dielectric.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Wire from 0.10 to 0.30 mm, finer than the 0.15 mm minimum of the AgieCharmilles CUT E 600
- Best finish quoted by material: 0.14 μm Ra in carbide and 0.18 μm Ra in steel
- Dynamic Corner Control holds sharp geometry through contours
- 1030 x 800 x 350 mm workpiece limit and 1000 kg load
- IPG generator and Spark Track process monitoring as standard
Limitations
- ISPS wire-breakage protection, iWire and Renishaw probing are all options
- Wire starts at 0.10 mm; the AgieCharmilles CUT P 600 runs down to 0.05 mm
- Taper is limited to ± 30°/50 mm by ± 50 mm of U/V travel
- Steel finish of 0.18 μm Ra is coarser than the 0.10 μm quoted for the AgieCharmilles CUT P 600

Frequently Asked Questions
01
All three have 600 x 400 x 350 mm of travel and take 1030 x 800 x 350 mm parts up to 1000 kg. The AgieCharmilles CUT E 600 runs 0.15 - 0.30 mm wire; the CUT F 600 runs 0.10 - 0.30 mm and adds Dynamic Corner Control; the AgieCharmilles CUT P 600 runs 0.05 - 0.33 mm and is quoted at 0.10 μm Ra.
02
0.14 μm Ra in carbide and 0.18 μm Ra in steel, as best values. Cutting time to reach them depends on part height and the number of trim passes, so ask for a test cut on your material if finish is the deciding figure.
03
GF lists ISPS (the Intelligent Spark Protection System against wire breakage), iWire for lower wire consumption and the Renishaw probe for part positioning and verification as optional. Budget for ISPS if the machine will run unattended overnight.
04
It applies dedicated algorithms when the wire goes round a corner, where wire lag tends to round off edges, so that the geometry stays sharp and accurate without slowing the whole contour. On the CUT F 600 it is listed among the series features, not as an option.
