Overview

The GF Machining Solutions AgieCharmilles CUT X 350 is the compact model in GF's highest-tier wire EDM series, combining AI-driven discharge optimization with advanced thermal management to achieve benchmark precision in the compact wire EDM class. The CUT X designation represents GF's most advanced wire EDM technology, using machine learning to adapt discharge parameters in real time based on actual cutting conditions rather than relying solely on static technology database lookups.

The CUT X 350 features X/Y/Z travels of 350 x 250 x 256 mm with U/V travel of +/-70 mm, accommodating workpieces up to 800 x 550 x 250 mm and 450 kg. The machine monitors thousands of discharge events per second and continuously adjusts gap voltage, pulse timing, and flushing parameters to maintain optimal cutting conditions — producing more consistent surface finish across complex profiles, fewer wire breaks on challenging geometries, and better accuracy in deep pockets, tight corners, and variable-thickness cuts.

The UNIQUA HMI control platform provides an intuitive touchscreen interface with integrated collision protection as standard. Linear glass scales on all four wire guide axes (X, Y, U, V) ensure precise positioning. The deionized water dielectric system holds 700 liters with integrated temperature control for thermal stability during extended cutting cycles.

With a maximum taper angle of 30 degrees over 100 mm height and machine weight of 3,900 kg without dielectric, the CUT X 350 is positioned for precision die and mold work, medical device tooling, and micro-feature applications where cutting consistency matters more than raw envelope size.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • AI-driven real-time discharge optimization adapts to actual cutting conditions for more consistent finish across complex profiles
  • UNIQUA HMI provides modern touchscreen interface with integrated collision protection as standard
  • Linear glass scales on all four wire guide axes ensure high positional accuracy over the machine life
  • Compact 3,900 kg footprint fits into existing die and mold shop floor plans
  • 700-liter dielectric system with temperature control maintains thermal stability during long cuts
  • Advanced generator technology reduces wire breaks on challenging geometries and variable-thickness cuts

Limitations

  • 350 x 250 mm X/Y travel limits workpiece size — larger components require the CUT X 500
  • At $200K-$330K, carries a significant premium over the CUT S and CUT F series
  • Next-generation AI platform has less field service history than established GF models
  • 450 kg workpiece weight limit restricts large steel block applications

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the CUT X 350 differ from the CUT S 400?

The CUT X 350 is GF's highest-tier wire EDM with AI-driven discharge optimization and the UNIQUA HMI, while the CUT S 400 is the performance tier with the same UNIQUA control but without the real-time AI adaptive cutting. The CUT X achieves more consistent finish on complex geometries. The CUT S 400 has slightly larger X/Y travel (405 x 315 mm vs 350 x 250 mm) and higher workpiece weight capacity (1,000 vs 450 kg) at a lower price point.

02 What is the UNIQUA HMI?

UNIQUA is GF Machining Solutions' current-generation control interface for wire and sinker EDM machines, replacing the older AC CUT platform. It features a touchscreen interface with integrated technology databases, automatic parameter selection, and collision protection. On the CUT X series, UNIQUA also manages the AI-driven discharge optimization layer.

03 What wire diameters does the CUT X 350 support?

The CUT X 350 supports standard brass and coated wires in common diameters from 0.10 to 0.33 mm, with fine wire capability down to 0.07 mm for micro-detail applications. Wire diameter selection depends on the required internal corner radius, slot width, and surface finish target.

04 What surface finish can the CUT X 350 achieve?

With AI-optimized multi-pass skim cuts, the CUT X 350 achieves Ra 0.08 micrometers or finer — among the best available from any compact wire EDM. The AI generator optimizes final skim passes for minimum energy discharge, reducing surface damage and recast layer depth.
