Introduction
Premium Productivity
The AGIE CHARMILLES FORM P series is a high-performance Die-Sinking EDM solution engineered to maximize productivity while maintaining complete confidence in the machining process. Combining advanced EDM technology, intelligent process control, and a stable machine platform, it enables manufacturers to achieve fast, consistent, and repeatable results across the broadest range of applications. The FORM P is designed for manufacturers seeking to increase throughput, optimize cost per part, and maximize machine utilization without compromising quality.
Highlights
Features
iGap intelligently controls the lateral spark gap to deploy more power with greater control, improving erosion speed while reducing electrode wear and parting-line edge effects.
This feature maximizes electrode life and machining consistency by significantly reducing electrode wear, lowering operating costs and minimizing the need for electrode replacement.
Integrated database covering a wide range of cavity geometries and materials, with optimized erosion parameters to ensure reliable results and consistent machining across multiple industries.
Graphite for fast roughing, copper for fine finishing. The TECFORM expert system automatically generates the right erosion parameters for stable machining and consistent results in the easiest way.
With an inertia capacity of up to 5,000 kg·cm², the optional feature Accura C-Axis delivers ultimate rotary precision and stability for the most demanding EDM applications and complex 3D geometries.
Available as an optional feature from 16 to 160 positions*, the rotary tool changer increases unattended machining time and production autonomy. Designed to handle large electrodes, it can be equipped with features such as double gripper and automatic scanning to further reduce non-productive time.
*capacity in function of quill configuration.
The Econowatt feature reduces energy consumption during idle periods while automatically preparing the machine ahead of production to ensure stable machining conditions from the start.
The embedded macro system contains advanced features to streamline repetitive operations through customizable routines. The User-defined buttons on the LCD remote control provide the machine users with direct access to their function.
This option supports up to two additional axes in indexing or interpolation, extending machining capabilities for the production of complex and highly accurate geometries.
Six optional additional programmable flushing outlets deliver precise and programmable flushing control, ensuring optimal debris removal, stable machining conditions, and consistent quality across even the most demanding applications.
