Wire erosion tools to keep your finger on the pulse

The new wire erosion machine from VOLLMER, the Swabian sharpening specialists, is called the VPulse 500. The VPulse 500 is not just the successor to the tried and tested QWD series; it is also equipped with a new erosion generator and the most advanced technology. Using this machine, PCD (polycrystalline diamond)-tipped tools can be produced quickly and precisely in large quantities. Modern machine kinematics ensure high profile accuracy in both production and maintenance. VOLLMER's operating concept for the VPulse 500 is designed around intuition: The touchscreen acts as a highly developed human-machine interface, simplifying programming and control and guaranteeing quick, error-free work.

With the VPulse 500 wire erosion machine, VOLLMER has begun a new chapter in its long history of eroding tools. For a quarter of a century, the sharpening specialist from Biberach has been developing erosion technologies which – until now – have been brought to life in machines with designations beginning with Q. But V is the new Q: The VPulse 500 is the successor to the QWD machines and comes as standard with technology that enables high-quality PCD-tipped tools to be manufactured at incredibly high productivity levels, whether for production or servicing. At the human-machine interface, the adjustable control panel, which includes a touchscreen, offers user-friendly menu navigation and intuitive operation, meaning that even complex tasks can be carried out after a short training period. The PCD tools are measured and eroded in one clamping process in which simultaneous path interpolation along five CNC axes guarantees that milling cutters, drills and multi-stage tools are machined precisely. The machining process is carried out with unsupported clamping or, optionally, with a counter point unit for the machining between the tool centers.
