The Agiecut Attak™ — Made entirely in Switzerland.
Exclusively for North America.
Maintaining consistent quality
year after year after year is one
of the things Agie EDM systems
do best. Swiss precision is
sustainable precision. Here’s
why:
ÊCast Iron Components. All
components of the Agiecut
Attak are made of
dynamically rigid, thermally
stable cast iron.
ÊC-Frame Design. By
centrally locating the
workpiece, guide system and
table axis, we’ve achieved
superior thermal stability,
center of gravity and
accuracy.
ÊBall Screws / Linear Ways.
The quality of our large
diameter ball screws and
THK linear guide ways has a
direct effect on mechanical
accuracy and overall machine
tool life.
ÊUV Axes. By isolating the UV
axes outside the workzone
they are protected from
contamination. This design,
coupled with Agie’s toroid
guides, assures precise
tapering and die-lands
anywhere in the work zone.
ÊMinimal Material
Disturbance. With Agie, you
get surface finishes down to
12 RMS with no white layer.
Our Purecut™ feature
prevents oxidation and rust
on steel by combining specific
pulse packages with
electronic isolution of the
work zone to improve cobalt
leaching in carbides, and to
eliminate bluing in exotic
alloys such as titanium.
Agie guarantees
volumetric tolerancing
of 0.0002” for the entire
29.5"x21.7"x9.8" Attak™
work area — not just in
the middle of the table.
This is a big benefit for
multiple workpiece
setups.
A Real Agie.
Accessible.
With the Agiecut Attak, you get
the same high performance wire
system found on all Agiecut
EDMs. Reliable threading, 55 lb.
wire spools and long life wire
guides keep you up and running
round the clock. This translates
into the lowest operating cost on
the market. Hands down.
An easy access work zone
utilizes a wide drop-down front
door and 4-sided table with
universal clamping frame. And
there’s a lot more:
ÊUser friendly programming.
1300 pre-programmed feeds
& speeds and three user
modes (beginner,
intermediate, and advanced)
let you make the most of your
operator skill level.
ÊWorkModel™. You can
conveniently store and recall
recurring geometries with our
WorkModel feature.
Our Early Late™ feature adds to
the Attak’s autonomy by giving
you one-mouse-click ability to
change manufacturing strategy
on the fly to maximize uptime.
ÊContact Manager. Only with
Agie can you monitor and
control your EDM system
remotely from any PC,
anywhere, over a secure
modem connection. Contact
Manager also permits
authorized, real time support
from the Agie service team.
The result is maximum
machine productivity and
minimum down time.
ÊA final way we’ve made the
Attak accessible? A
competitive price unlike any
ever before for an Agiecut.
The Remarkable
Agiecut Wire
System
Combine Agie’s wire threader,
guides and feed/disposal
system and you have the most
simple, reliable wire system on
the market. The components
are so simple and reliable in
fact, that Agiecut EDMs have
the lowest cost of operation on
the market. Here are a few
details:
Ê Universal Wire Guide
System. The patented, nonclogging Agie V-guide allows
for the use of 0.008 to
0.013” wire, without
changing the diamond
guide. The 3-points of
contact ensure that there is
a zero clearance condition
for the most reliable
threading and straightest
cuts in the industry. The
diamond pins can be
indexed to 4 positions,
allowing Agie V-guides to
last as long as 20,000
hours.
Agie’s V-guide
images left to right: Agiejet automatic wire threader, toroid pre-guide, wire feed path.
Ê Agiejet™. The Agiejet
automatic wire threader has
only two moving parts (the
wire cutter and the brake).
The system uses a highpressure water jet for 99+%
threading reliability without
any annealing of the EDM
wire. The system
automatically re-threads
after a wire break and
restarts following a power
failure.
Ê Toroid Pre-Guide. Located
in the upper and lower guide
head is a toroid pre-guide.
In taper cutting conditions of
over two degrees, the Agie
guide system changes the
angle tangency from the Vguide to the toroid preguide. The toroid has a large
radius on the inside
diameter that reduces the
stress on the EDM wire,
providing more accurate
tapers with better surface
finish than round guide
systems.
Ê Wire Feed System. The
Agiecut wire feed system
combines a standard 55 lb.
wire spool capacity with a
simple to feed wire-loading
system to provide up to 80
hours of erosion without
changing wire spools. Wire
is removed from the lower
head using a suction tube to
deliver spent wire to the wire
chopper. Chopped wire is
deposited into a removable
container which is on rollers
for easy handling.

The Universal Agievision
Control
Early Late™ lets you run multiple
workpieces and automatically remove
slugs.
Why settle for a limited control,
when you can have the best
available today? Your operators
can comfortably grow into
Agievision, but they will never
grow out of it.
Improved programming time,
setup time and unattended
operation sweeten the entire
timeline for every job.
Lotto™ makes it easy to set up
and run up to 30 workpieces on
the table together.
The Agiecut Attak, with powerful
Agievision control, lets you
respond flexibly to any situation.
The easy-to-use Windows
interface greatly simplifies setup
and gives operators of any skill
level the confidence they need to
bring a “can-do” attitude to every
job — whether they EDM every
day or once a week.
Ê Pieceinsert™. With the click of
your mouse, you can
deactivate a job in progress
and activate an express job.
Ê Dynamic Corner Control™.
Dynamic corner control allows
erosion at maximum cutting
speeds at the specified
accuracy, even in tight corners,
because it compensates for
wire drag and optimizes
processing based on material
type and thickness.
Ê FormalCheck™. Verify data
entry for completeness easily
with FormalCheck. Missing
information is displayed in plain
text so that users with minimal
EDM experience can produce
good parts.
Ê GrafiCheck™. Monitor
current machining progress, at
any time — just point and
click, zoom, and rotate your
view in 2D or 3D.
Ê Lotto™. With Lotto, it’s easy
to set up and run up to 30
workpieces on the table
together — each job is set up
and referenced as a separate
file; then the files are
highlighted to link them into a
single job. No external CAM
programming or timeconsuming command file is
necessary.
Ê UserSequence™. Define
machining sequences (steps)
independent of your CAM
program with the
UserSequence feature. It
allows the operator to freely
choose and optimize the
erosion steps between
multiple parts and/or
geometries for efficiencies that
match your priorities.
Ê Variocut™. When workpieces
have varying heights or
through holes, Variocut
automatically detects these
and makes real time changes
to power settings and flushing
pressure. This improves
overall part geometry, surface
finish and unattended
operation of difficult to
machine components and
reduces cutting time up to
25%.
The Agiecut Attak reads existing geometry files
in ISO 100 and IS0 123 format.
