2.10 Environment The choice of the place of installation is very important for a precision
machine tool, since the accuracy of the workpiece depends on this.

Vibrations The AGIECUT equipment should not be installed near to machines,

which transmit vibrations through the foundations (loss of the precision
of the alignment of the machine). If sources of disturbance cannot be
avoided, the machine must be mounted on vibration-damping ele-
ments. For this purpose, consult a damping element supplier. Fixing
with anchor bolts is not necessary

Dust The equipment must be installed in a room as free of dust as possible.

Room temperature General rules:

• Ideal temperature constant = 20° C
• The temperature may be considered constant when the fluctuations
are less than 0.5° C/hour and 2° C/day. The daily mean is to be
taken as a basis.

Air conditioning system Air conditioning systems are recommended where room temperatures
(General requirements) reach extremely high levels or where very unstable conditions prevail,
while high precision requirements have to be met.
Current air-conditioning systems feature the operating states:
• off
• part capacity (normally 30%)
• full capacity
The most suitable air conditioning systems are those with sufficient
capacity to maintain the temperature at a constant ± 1° C throughout
the day, but allowing the room temperature to follow seasonal varia-
tions. Another more costly variant would be a "Super" installation
maintaining a room temperature of 20°C ± 0.5°C throughout the whole
year.
Depending on their refrigerating capacity, air conditioning systems can
also be real "cold air factories" having a negative effect on the accu-
racy of a machine.
Note the following points when selecting an air conditioning system:
• Choose systems with a large ∆t-coefficient, i.e. avoid those which
blow out air too cold (disproportionate relationship between refrig-
erating capacity and quantity of air circulated).
• Avoid airflows directly on to the machine. Systems must be in-
stalled in such a manner that the cooled air can mix effectively with
the room air near the ceiling and then "trickle down". Perforated
hollow ceilings are ideal in this respect.
• Unnecessary heat sources should be removed from the room.
Systems combining efficient performance with moderate cost are
available on the market in different variants. The decisive points for a
good cost/performance ratio are a small ∆t-coefficient and dissipated
thermal output (especially with high value systems).

Calculating the capacity of an air The following factors must be taken into account for determining the
conditioning system required capacity of an optimal air conditioning system (not exhaus-
tive):
• Room air volume
• Room air temperature
• Room in
• Thermal output to be dissipated
The factors room air volume, room air temperature and room insula-
tion are dependent on the installation site and are accordingly within
your area of influence. The factor "thermal output to be dissipated" is
dependent on the number and output of all heat sources contained in
the room (machine systems, equipment etc.).

Thermal output to be dissipated The input electricity is partially converted into heat. The greatest part of
from the room it is dissipated by the coolant water (ö below) and the rest is released
into the room.
On AGIECUT equipment, the thermal output to be dissipated from the
room amounts to:

3 Connecting the equipment
3.1 Mains supply connection

3.1.1 General requirements The AGIECUT equipment must be connected to a TT or TN type

mains system showing characteristics according to the International
Standard IEC 364 part 3, Nr. 312.2.1+2 (ö also ”Mains system” be-
low).
It is strictly forbidden to directly connect the AGIECUT equipment to
an IT type mains system (IEC 364 part 3, Nr. 312.2.3.)
The mains supply quality must correspond to the International Stan-
dard IEC 60204-1: 1997 § 4.3.2 (ö also ” Mains supply quality” below).

Caution:
The certification of the mains system and quality is a prerequisite
for connecting the equipment to the mains and as such specifically
requested in the Protocol of Installation and Putting into operation.
In the lack of such a certification (signature of the customer or his rep-
resentative) the service technician must suspend the putting into op-
eration because the requirements for the safe functioning of the
equipment are not met.
Should it not be possible to verify and certify the mains system and
quality, the customer must ask the mains supplier for a relevant written
attest that is to be attached to the Protocol of Installation and Putting
into operation.

Local regulations with regard to connection and earthing material must

be observed.

3.1.2 Detailed requirements

Mains supply cable The mains supply cable must have four leads. The cable cross section
2
must be at least 4 x 4 mm . The mains cable is to be provided by the
customer.

Mains 3 × 400 V ±10%, 3 phases and earth (50 or 60 Hz, ö label on the
AGIECUT installation).

In the case of the mains voltage varying from the rated values it is
necessary to install a transformer between the mains and the equip-
ment.
(ö Table for selecting accessories according to mains conditions).

Protection 25 A protection fuses with delayed action

Earthing Danger!
In order to guarantee
a) the protection of the operator against tensions from indirect
contact in case of breakdown,
b) the best functionality of the system and immunity against the
electromagnetic perturbations,
the earth system that the customer has to put at disposal must
have a total earth resistance (protecting conductor included) of
ca. 0.3 Ω.
If on the same earth are connected other systems beyond the
AGIE one, the value of the maximum acceptable earth resistance
reduces according to the relevant prescriptions of the Interna-
tional Norm IEC 364-4-41.

Mains system The AGIECUT equipment must be connected to a mains system with
earthed neutral of type TT (ö International standard IEC 364 part 3,
312.2.1) or type TN (ö International standard IEC 364 part 3, 312.2.2).
It is strictly forbidden to directly connect AGIECUT installations to a
mains system of type IT with insulated neutral or neutral connected
to earth through high impedance (ö International standard IEC 364
part 3, Nr. 312.2.3.).
If the equipment must inevitably be connected to an IT mains, it is then
indispensable to install a Separation Transformer or a Line Condi-
tioner (ö Table for selecting accessories according to mains condi-
tions).

Mains supply quality The machine is designed to operate with a power supply whose char-
acteristics are in accordance with the International Standard IEC
60204-1 § 4.3.2.
In particular the following is strictly to be respected:
• Voltage:
0.9 to 1.1 of nominal voltage.
• Frequency:
0.99 to 1.01 of nominal frequency, continuously.
• Harmonics:
Harmonic distortion not to exceed 10% of the total r.m.s. voltage.
• Voltage unbalance:
Neither the voltage of the negative sequence component nor the
voltage of the zero sequence component in three-phase supplies
shall exceed 2% of the positive sequence component.
• Voltage interruption:
Supply interrupted or at zero voltage for not more than 3 ms at any
random time in the supply cycle. There shall be more than 1 sec-
ond between successive interruptions.
• Voltage dips:
Voltage dips shall not exceed 20% of the peak voltage of the supply
for more than one cycle. There shall be more than 1 second be-
tween successive dips.

Procedure in case of mains voltage Caution:
non-corresponding to requirements • If the rated voltage has a slow fluctuation exceeding ± 10% (e.g.
due to load variations in the workshop), install a line stabilizer up-
stream to the machine.
• If the rated voltage has a rapid fluctuation exceeding ± 10%, install
a line conditioner upstream to the machine.
• In the case of overvoltage on the mains supply (producing high
levels of energy) due to, for example, heavy inductive loads (induc-
tion furnaces, large motors, etc.) or frequent flashes of lightning in
the zone, it is advisable/necessary to install a line conditioner up-
stream to the machine.

Note:
to check for the last two cases, a line analyzer is required or else an
assessment based on experience encountered with other users in the
workshop (e.g. failures to equipment or instruments during storms,
sudden drops in lighting, frequent interruptions or interference in op-
eration, connection of heavy inductive loads).

Extension of the clamping system The AGIE Universal Clamping Frame allows the workpiece to be fas-
tened directly to its clamping plates. The hole pattern is compatible for
all current clamping devices from the following manufacturers:
• Mecatool
• EROWA
• 3R
• Hirschmann

The clamping devices must be mounted in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

Caution:
When using the clamping devices, great attention must be paid to the
risk of collision (ö “Collision-free zones”).
Also take the size of the moving parts (arms, heads, cables, ...) into
consideration during positioning, this being particularly important when
clamping several pieces in the working area.

Collision-free zones The collision-free zones in the following drawings may be occupied by
the workpiece, clamping devices or anything else without the risk of
collision.
This is the case as long as nothing is clamped on the guide heads or
the arms.
These collision-free zones can be enlarged if the distance between the
flushing nozzles and the workpiece surface is increased.

5 Commodities

5.1 Water (dielectric) Only water with the following characteristics may be used for EDM cut-
ting with AGIECUT equipment:

• The recommended chemical-physical characteristics for the water

Low salt content
used to produce dielectric are:
• Conductivity: < 10 µS/cm
• Chloride Cl-: < 20 mg/l
• Sulphate SO4 -:
2
< 20 mg/l
• Hardness Ca -:
2
< 120 mg/l (16 dH°; 29 fH°)
• Never add salts, particularly if they contain chlorides (common
salt). Normally, the conductivity of the dielectric tends to increase
during the erosive process, making the addition of salts unneces-
sary. In the case of an extreme need, we recommend the use of
sodium molybdanate (Na2MbO4).
• If you have water very high in calcium carbonate or water with
greatly increased conductivity, it will be necessary to make provi-
sion for the installation of a water pre-pre-deionised system or for
the purchase of pre-deionised water from hospitals or other institu-
tions.

The pre-deionised system can be supplied as on option by AGIE.

The use of this system offers the following advantages (ö also chapter
C12.11 ”Pre-deionised system”)
• Increased autonomy of the deionising cartridges of the DA.
• Great reduction of the time losses caused by the water change or
automatic filling (no more waiting time to reach the desired conduc-
tivity value.
• Better utilisation of AGIECUT.
• Less special waste disposal: the resin resulting from the deionising
unit can be disposed as normal waste

• Only use drinking water. If industrial water has to be used, make

”Purity”
provision for filtration and pre-deionisation.
• Work with clean hands. Avoid adding fats and oily substances
since they encourage biological deterioration of the water (bacteria,
fungi, bad odours) and clog the filters and the resin.

5.7 Anticorrosive The anticorrosive agent SAVAN RVH 600 is a very effective agent,
which has been tested on several occasions in our laboratory for its
agents efficacy. It was specially developed by Savan-Chemie for use in the
water of wire- erosion machines.
The product is non-toxic and does not contain any materials, such as
nitrites, aldehydes or phenols. It does not have any detrimental
dermatological effects and is biologically 100% degradable.
The product's effect is not dependent on the electric conductance of
the water. Especially in the case of processing work during which the
workpieces have to remain in water for a lengthier period, thus
increasing the risk of corrosion, the use of this agent is to be very
much recommended.
Various tests have shown that the addition of SAVAN RVH 600 allows
the attack of corrosion on the workpieces to be considerably delayed
both in the processing of steel and of hard metal.
In addition, the machine components and the workroom are also
"treated" with anticorrosive agent during the use of this product,
meaning that the erosion particles can settle less, thus making
cleaning of the equipment easier.
The product is neutral in behaviour towards metals and plastics.

Application: 5 litres SAVAN RVH 600 to 1000 litres water

Source: AGIE agencies

Caution:
In order to guarantee trouble-free working with this agent, the following
points must be strictly observed:
After being used for the first time, the water must be replaced after a
few days as the SAVAN exercises a cleaning effect on the whole
equipment, thus allowing troublesome, dissolved residue to be elimi-
nated.
The water temperature should be below 25°C in order to avoid biologi-
cal deterioration.
No traces of acid, not even the smallest amounts, should get into the
water.
Do not use other anticorrosives or protective greases together with
SAVAN en.
The concentration (see above) must be monitored and complied with.
This can be carried out using a hand refractometer.
SAVAN must be added finely dosed while the plant is running.

6.2 Types of packing The equipment is packed differently depending on which of the two
methods of transport is used:

• pallet with VCI corrosion protection:

ð Switzerland, Central Europe

01581a_x.ds4

• in an export crate for shipment by sea or air with VCI corrosion

protection + ALU:
ð overseas, Eastern Europe (in part), Middle East

01583a_x.ds4

VCI corrosion protection With the Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor method, the equipment is covered
with a transparent PE sheet (does not have to be hermetically sealed).
Vapour phase inhibitors (foamed plastic strips) are placed under the
sheet as carrier agents for the protection against corrosion. A gas
evaporates slowly out of these carrier agents which have been soaked
in a chemical substance and this settles as an invisible protective layer
on the metal surface, thus forming a corrosion-inhibiting coating.
Before unpacking the equipment, see "Acclimatising the equipment".

Aluminium/Desiccant corrosion In this method, the equipment is packed in an aluminium laminate

protection protective sheet and sealed hermetically. A very dry atmosphere
brought about by the hermetically sealed cover and by the addition of
desiccants which reduce the air humidity serves as protection against
corrosion.
Before unpacking the equipment, see "Acclimatising the equipment".
