Recent demand for complicated workpiece part geometry has increased dramatically and as a result, higher profile accuracy and better surface finish are expected. To meet with these needs, Sodick has developed a wide tapering capacity, maintaining a uniform surface finish and high angle and profile accuracy.
High-performance 45 degree angle tapers can be machined with standard programming. This function (option) is named "Taper Flex 45".
NOTE :
If a large taper is cut, good surface finish must be ignored, but Sodick achieved a 3.9µmRz on this large workpiece, without a veteran’s special programming know-how.
Taper compensation software automatically adjusts wire point to suit every angle and angle direction possible.
Besides the use of the optional software, additionally the conventional dies need to be changed to "R shape dies".
This large taper angle (45 degree function) is applied for the models:
