Wire cut

>

CNC wire cut machine is an equipment to produce very fine cuts in the hardest of steels.  The cut can be as thin as 0.2 millimeters. The accuracy of the machine could be as precise that it can produce a tolerance of less than 0.02 millimeters.  This kind of machine is an essential requirement for making precision dies or moulds.  In the aluminium industry for the extrusion of the profile for architectural use or other hard ware profiles this kind of machine becomes the absolute need for producing quality.  Extrusion of metal  can best be explained with an example of the toothpaste tube.  When you press the tube the material inside comes out of the opening.  The output can either be a cylindrical section or it can be of any shape depending on the opening of the mouth of the tube.  This is what happens when we extrude aluminium, the die is made such that there is an opening in a steel block which is exactly like the section we want. Hence it is necessary to have the above described machine.  There are a number of manufacturers of such machines all over the world. The management of Japan metal Industries decided to purchase such a machine, a team was constituted to go attend the exhibition in Singapore, negotiate, and purchase an EDM wire cut machine.  Mr. Jaffer was one of the members of team along with Mr. Al Naser Shakoor one of the directors of Japan Metal Industries.  The third person in picture is the sales person of a machine producer in one of the stalls in the exhibition Metal 2000 held in the month of February. 

Ichi Seiki in Singapore is a sole representative of ARD the Taiwan based manufacturer and supplier of machine tools, spark erosion and EDM wire cut machines.  Japan Metal Industries needed to purchase a wire cut machine Mr. Jaffer accompanied the director and the mould engineer to see different machines in operation in an exhibition in Singapore commercially famous as Metal Asia 2000.  A variety of machine tool was on display there.  A number of machines were inspected ranging from some very costly ones from Germany to the cheapest from China.  A number of machines were out of reach of the Pakistani buyers either because of the exorbitant European price or because of the embargo from purchasing high precision machines imposed on Pakistan due to its reply of the Indian atomic explosions.  The ultimate and possible choice was of the ARD EDM wire cut machine.
