How much does the GF Machining AgieCharmilles CUT S 800 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 800 is the largest CUT S wire EDM machine, with 800 mm of X, 600 mm of Y and 510 mm of Z travel. Its tank takes a workpiece of 1350 x 1000 x 510 mm weighing up to 3000 Kg, the heaviest load in the series and twice the 1500 Kg of the AgieCharmilles CUT S 600.
Height is where this model stands apart. With 510 mm of Z, a thick die set or a stack of plates can be cut in one setup, and the U/V axes, listed at 800 x 600 mm, match the X and Y travel. The taper row is ± 30/510 mm, with 45° optional, so the listed taper is given at the full height the machine accepts. For tall, angled parts that is a long lever arm for the wire, and the independent X, Y, U, V and Z motion of the Tetrax and Quadrax concept is what makes it possible.
The trade-off is at the fine end. Wire starts at 0.10 mm here, where the AgieCharmilles CUT S 600 and AgieCharmilles CUT S 400 run 0.05 mm, so sharp internal corners and small slots are better placed on the smaller machines. The best quoted finish is 0.1 μm Ra.
The machine measures 2670 x 3100 x 2950 mm. At 2950 mm it is the tallest CUT S, so check the hall height and any crane path, though at 7100 Kg with dielectric it is listed lighter than the CUT S 600. Series features are a fixed table for heavy parts, calibration algorithms, thermal precision management, an anti-collision system, a drop tank and door, and Spark Track with ISPS; iWire is optional. The CUT S is prepared for SYSTEM 3R automation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Workpieces up to 1350 x 1000 x 510 mm and 3000 Kg
- 510 mm of Z travel for thick die sets and plate stacks
- U/V axes of 800 x 600 mm match the X and Y travel
- Taper row of ± 30/510 mm is given at the full Z height, with 45° optional
- Fixed-table design that GF describes as holding accuracy with heavy parts
Limitations
- Wire range starts at 0.10 mm; the AgieCharmilles CUT S 600 runs down to 0.05 mm
- Machine height of 2950 mm needs clearance in the hall
- The 45° taper and iWire are options
- Best quoted finish is 0.1 μm Ra, against 0.08 μm on the AgieCharmilles CUT S 400

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A workpiece of up to 1350 x 1000 x 510 mm and 3000 Kg. The wire reaches 800 mm in X, 600 mm in Y and 510 mm in Z, so a part at the size limit is machined over a central region rather than edge to edge.
02
Its wire range is 0.10 - 0.33 mm. For wire down to 0.05 mm GF lists the smaller AgieCharmilles CUT S 600, with 605 x 405 x 356 mm of travel and a 1500 Kg load, which covers fine slots and small internal radii on parts that fit it.
03
The taper row reads ± 30/510 mm with 45° optional, and the height in it is the full Z travel. The U/V axes move 800 x 600 mm, independently of X, Y and Z under the Tetrax and Quadrax concept.
04
GF lists 2670 x 3100 x 2950 mm and 7100 Kg with dielectric. It is less deep than the AgieCharmilles CUT S 600 at 3500 mm but taller than its 2490 mm, so ceiling height and crane clearance are the points to check.
