OPS Ingersoll EAGLE G80 Competition

The OPS Ingersoll EAGLE G80 Competition is a gantry die-sinking EDM for long mould plates: Y travel is 850 mm (33.5 in), well beyond its 550 mm (21.7 in) of X, with 450 mm (17.7 in) in Z and a 360° C-axis. The table measures 760 x 1,000 mm (29.9 x 39.4 in) and is rated for 2,000 kg (4,409 lb).

That rectangular layout is the point of the machine. A plate with a row of cavities can be burned end to end without re-clamping, and the 200 kg (441 lb) head load leaves room for heavy graphite electrodes or holders carrying several at once. The work tank, 800 x 1,100 x 480 mm (31.5 x 43.3 x 18.9 in), lowers for loading and fills to a programmable 450 mm (17.7 in).

In size it is the twin of the GANTRY EAGLE 800, which has the same travels and the same 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) table rating. The Competition version swaps the generator. It is listed with the EAGLE PowerSPARK Generator at 60 amps and a PowerSPARK fine finish package, plus head cooling, spindle nut cooling and work tank temperature control in a precision package. OPS Ingersoll attaches three claims to that equipment: more precision from the new cooling concept, outstanding surfaces with graphite and copper, and multi-cavity machining with up to 50% less wear.

Standard equipment also covers an electrode changer with 20 positions, EAGLE PowerJUMP at 18 m/min in Z and a 32 m² paper filter, twice the filter area listed for the EAGLE G50 Competition at 16 m². Options include a 110 amps generator and a 30 position changer. Weight, footprint and electrical data are not published on the product page.
