How much does the GF Machining AgieCharmilles CUT S 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 S 600 is the middle size of the CUT S wire EDM series, with 605 mm of X, 405 mm of Y and 356 mm of Z travel. It takes a workpiece of up to 1000 x 700 x 350 mm and 1500 Kg, threads wire from 0.05 to 0.33 mm, and GF quotes a best surface finish of 0.1 μm Ra.
The U/V taper axes are listed at 700 x 450 mm, which is more than the X and Y travel. In the Tetrax and Quadrax concept the five axes move independently, and the taper row reads ± 30/356 mm, with 45° optional. The 356 mm in that row is the full Z, so the taper rating covers a part as tall as the machine accepts. For tall extrusion dies or angled clearance on thick punches, that is the figure to compare.
Against the AgieCharmilles CUT S 400 (405 x 315 x 256 mm, 1000 Kg, Ra 0.08 μm) this model adds Z travel and load but is quoted at a coarser best finish. The AgieCharmilles CUT S 800 goes further, to 800 x 600 x 510 mm and 3000 Kg, but its wire range starts at 0.10 mm. The CUT S 600 is therefore the largest CUT S that still runs 0.05 mm wire.
Of the three CUT S sizes this is the heaviest listed machine, 8400 Kg with dielectric, in a footprint of 2200 x 3500 x 2490 mm. The series description stresses a fixed table for accuracy with heavy parts, along with calibration algorithms, thermal precision management, an anti-collision system and a drop tank and door. Spark Track and ISPS stabilise the cut, iWire is listed as optional, and the machine is prepared for SYSTEM 3R automation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Largest CUT S that runs 0.05 mm wire, with a 0.05 - 0.33 mm range
- 1500 Kg workpiece capacity in a 1000 x 700 x 350 mm envelope
- U/V axes of 700 x 450 mm and a taper row of ± 30/356 mm given at full Z, with 45° optional
- 356 mm of Z travel, against 256 mm on the AgieCharmilles CUT S 400
- Drop tank and door access and SYSTEM 3R automation readiness
Limitations
- Best quoted finish is 0.1 μm Ra, against 0.08 μm on the AgieCharmilles CUT S 400
- 8400 Kg with dielectric needs a floor and rigging plan to match
- The 45° taper and iWire are options
- Parts over 1000 x 700 x 350 mm need the CUT S 800

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The AgieCharmilles CUT S 800 has 800 x 600 x 510 mm of travel, a 1350 x 1000 x 510 mm workpiece limit and 3000 Kg of load, with wire from 0.10 to 0.33 mm. The CUT S 600 has 605 x 405 x 356 mm, 1000 x 700 x 350 mm and 1500 Kg, and runs wire down to 0.05 mm. Both are quoted at 0.1 μm Ra.
02
It gives the taper at a height of 356 mm, which is the full Z travel, with 45° available as an option. The U/V axes are listed at 700 x 450 mm and move independently of X, Y and Z in the Tetrax and Quadrax concept.
03
On GF's tables, yes: 8400 Kg with dielectric for the CUT S 600 against 7100 Kg for the AgieCharmilles CUT S 800, which is the larger machine. Confirm the shipping and installed weights with GF before planning the floor, since the figures run against the size order.
04
GF designs the CUT S for lights-out work and for SYSTEM 3R automation. Spark Track and ISPS protect against wire breakage, the anti-collision system guards against crashes, and iWire, listed as optional, reduces wire consumption on long runs.
