Greetings!

Are you still cutting blind?
From GF Machining Solutions comes a revolution in wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM): Spark Track, with its state-of-the-art   Intelligent Spark Protection System  (ISPS) module, puts  EDM  intelligence at your fingertips. The more spark distribution information available on the wire, the more you can push the limits of the machining process  without risking wire breakage . Spark Track monitors and measures the sparks generated during the  EDM  process, and  ISPS  uses this information to adjust machine parameters accordingly for  optimized machining . The process is extremely  user friendly ,  fully automatic  and  highly effective  even in the most difficult cutting conditions.

The result: The best possible EDM performance and no wire breakage —so you can work efficiently and towards zero-defect part manufacturing.

Don't worry, just cut.

GF Machining Solutions was awarded the prestigious Prodex Award in 2019 for the new ISPS Spark Track technology utilizing our ISPS module coupled with our fully digital IPG generator which allows for real time spark monitoring in order to increase efficiency and eliminates the chance of wire breakage. This new technology demonstrates the continued allocation of resources GFMS AgieCharmilles puts toward remaining a leader in the Wire EDM field.
User friendly
Makes your life—and the life of your operator—easier

There is no need to set up machining conditions in advance, and even inexperienced operators can run the machine without risking wire breakage.

Safe
Best protection for your business

No wire breakage means improved security and peace of mind.
Adaptive
Fully automated process

ISPS uses the spark distribution data to maximize machining performance and optimize the cutting speed in roughing conditions.
Available on the following AgieCharmilles Wire EDM Machines

  • AgieCharmilles CUT P Series
  • AgieCharmilles CUT 2000 & 3000

Spark Track
Sparks occur randomly in wire-cutting EDM, and the electrical discharge always takes place at the point of the lowest resistance. Spark Track monitors the distribution of the sparks and thereby controls the average process power.
Different heights: The ISPS module recognizes difficult machining conditions such as abrupt or progressive height variations and automatically adapts parameters to avoid wire breakage.
ISPS
Via a sensor, Spark Track collects and detects the sparks' discharge location and their strength. Based on this, ISPS analyzes the data and adjusts the machine setting immediately once the spark quantity exceeds a threshold value.
Angled surfaces: Workpieces with angled surfaces often create a non-homogenous flushing condition, which disrupts the machining process and increases the risk of wire breakage. With Spark Track and ISPS, the spark distribution data is analyzed to recognize and accommodate for the change in shape.

With ISPS
  • The machining process is automatically adapted to all critical points without need for operator intervention.

  • There is no need to set up the machining conditions in advance.

  • ISPS uses spark distribution data to improve efficiency, prevent wire breakage and ensure a high level of productivity.

Without ISPS
  • The possibility of wire breakage must be considered due to factors such as irregular heights and tapered surfaces.

  • Your operator needs to set up the machining conditions in advance before starting the machining process.

  • Machining speed must be reduced to minimize the possibility of wire breakage.
