Ona, international specialist in the manufacture of special and large wire EDM machines, exhibits at the booth of the BIEMH a total of four wire EDM machines. The main novelties that will be presented among, in EDM by wire, the new machine Ona AF60 Modular.

The Ona AF60 machine belongs to the new families of EDM machines by wire and AF and NX Modular penetration respectively, which have revolutionized the field of large EDM machines, since they have a modular and versatile design that allows each client to configure your own machine with an unprecedented flexibility.

The range of EDM wire Ona AF Modular machines offers multiple combinations for X-Y-Z tours. In the X axis to choose tours are: 800, 1,000, 1,500 or 2,000 mm of travel. The axis Y: 600, 800, 1,000, or 1,300 mm of travel. The axis Z: 500, 600 or 700 mm of travel. EDM wire Ona AF Modular machines, the Court in submerged mode is carried out over 100% of the route of the Z axis, there is no limitation in this regard.

The new generator that incorporates the range AF Modular achieves highest possible cut speeds in EDM, electrolytic corrosion and detrimental to the speed of Court providing a cut 100% free.

ONA NX4C, automation made easy

Also, the company also exhibits Ona NX4C machine, with 6-axis of erosion controlled simultaneously. The ONA NX4C model is designed to be able to automate all kinds of works in a simple and effective way. Thanks to the incorporation of the new CNC Ona S-64 of open architecture, the machine can easily interconnect with robots, palletizing systems and systems of management and control of plant.

The NX4C machine incorporates the powerful CNC Ona S-64 which is capable of controlling and eroding simultaneously with up to 6 axes (X, Y, Z, C, A, B). CNC incorporates the function A-SPACE (axis of erosion in space), which allows that any function of the CNC programmable erosion (spheres, cones, orbital, vectors, etc.) can be performed in any direction of space.

The NX4C model has some 600 x 400 x 400 X-Y-Z tours. His desk is of fixed type and supports parts of up to 1,500 kg load. The number of machines ONA NX consists of 44 different models. The smallest machine of the range is the NX3, with about 400 x 300 x 300 mm X-Y-Z tours. The largest of the range is the TX10, which has a few routes X-Y-Z of 3000 x 1500 x 1000 mm, has two heads commanded by two generators-CNC independent and can machining independently two tracks at the same time on a piece of great size.

All the ONA NX series models include a circuit of Microfine standard (minimum final VDI = 0 - 0.10 Ra roughness µm) and ecological filtration system of long life requires no disposable cartridges.

All the ONA NX series models include standard a circuit of micro-fine.

ONA sells WMD a cell made up of three machines of EDM wire

The participation of WMD in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner triggers an investment plan that takes you to instruct the Basque signature Ona EDM a cell that will be used to develop components for the Snecma CFM56.

The CFM56 engine produced jointly by General Electric Aviation (USA) and Snecma (France) is one of the most prolific in the world aviation engines, because it is used to propel aircraft Boeing 737, Airbus 340-200 and 340-300 families. The engine is also one of the options of the Airbus 320 family.

Three by wire EDM machines acquired by WMD correspond to the ONA AF35 model. The main features of this machine include the incorporation of the generator ONA Easycut digital, enabling to achieve highest possible cut speeds in wire EDM (450 mm²/minuto with wire of 0.33 mm and 370 mm2/min with a thread of 0.25 mm diameter)electrolytic corrosion and detrimental to the speed of Court providing a cut 100% free.

WMD, specializing in the design and manufacture of high precision machined parts, has consolidated its transition to aeronautical components 'class security 1' with the development of various plans of r & d funded by CDTI and Basque Government and its participation in projects of Messier DowtyGoodrich, Sener, Snecma and Turbomeca. The company in April will be 11 years of industrial activity has ensured, through the Messier Dowty Integrator and engineering of competition with Boeing, manufacturing exclusively of a kit of 36 pieces for the cushioning system in the front of the new model which includes elements up to 800 millimeters in length.

The project with Boeing has endorsed fully the capacity of its engineering and has opened les the doors of the A350. Messier Dowty has invited them to perform the same work for the main landing gear, at the time to move forward in the assumption of responsibilities in other pieces. For the moment, the uptake of new aircraft programs and analysis of industry needs for its implementation, has triggered an investment plan that will exceed two million euros in the purchase of machinery and the half a million in the tooling. Investment plan that is part of the integrated cell of EDM wire acquired Ona EDM.
