Before ordering: confirm the duty, usable capacity, overall dimensions, utilities, safety package, controls, attachments and documentation for the destination market. Download the division catalogue.
Where IX-EDM-400 sits in the range
IX-EDM-400 is the first configuration in a 2-model range; buyers should compare it with the larger listed alternatives when production or work-envelope needs may grow.
Shortlist this model when the planned duty is close to its listed values. If the application regularly approaches a limit, compare the adjacent models below and ask IXORTA to check working margin, cycle expectations and future capacity.
How the IX-EDM-400 works
A conductive workpiece is referenced and submerged or flushed with dielectric fluid. The control guides the wire along the programmed contour while spark energy and flushing are regulated to maintain accuracy and surface condition.
The safe sequence depends on the supplied guards, controls, utilities and attachments. Operators should follow the delivered manual, training and site risk assessment. For process examples and planning articles, continue to the IXORTA CNC industry guides.
Manufacturing and acceptance checks
Quality checks should cover table and axis geometry, wire guides, tensioning, dielectric circulation, spark control stability, enclosure sealing and a verified contour test.
A useful factory-acceptance record identifies the agreed configuration, principal components, inspection points, test material or load, observed results, open actions, documentation set, packing method and release approval. See IXORTA CNC project scopes for the wider delivery context.
Applications and selection questions
Typical applications
- dies and punches
- fine conductive profiles
- tool-room components
- precision contour work
Confirm before selection
- workpiece envelope
- required X/Y/Z movement
- material and thickness
- wire diameter
- surface finish
- dielectric and filtration duty
A catalogue capacity alone is not enough. IXORTA should receive the normal and peak operating range, site conditions, utilities, operator experience, destination and delivery constraints before recommending a configuration. Review the division buyer FAQs before sending the enquiry.
Practical working sequence
- Define the job. Record material, load, output, quality and environmental requirements.
- Inspect before start. Check guards, fluids, fasteners, tooling or attachments, connections and the work area.
- Set the equipment. Apply the model manual, verified program or calibrated field setting.
- Prove at low risk. Run a dry cycle, first part, clean-water test or short field pass as appropriate.
- Monitor production. Watch load, sound, temperature, quality, flow, alignment and safety devices.
- Close and record. Isolate safely, clean, inspect wear and log service actions.
Use the project enquiry form to identify any required training, commissioning or operator documentation.
Maintenance priorities
- replace filters and monitor dielectric quality
- clean wire guides and contacts
- inspect seals and flushing nozzles
- verify tension and calibration
Intervals depend on operating hours, duty, dust, heat, water quality and the surrounding environment. The delivered manual and component schedules control the final service plan. Send spare-parts and service questions through the IXORTA contact page.
