Significant reduction in setup time with off-machine 3-axis preset! Zero-point compatible wire cut vice to maximize operating rate.
"Do not stop the machine. Dramatically improve equipment operating rate with external 3-axis presetting and zero point." The Gintech "EWC Series" is a high-precision wire cut electrical discharge machining vice that completes most setup tasks externally in conjunction with a zero point system. Traditionally, the three-axis presetting of "parallel alignment, centering, and clamping" was performed on the machine; now it can be done externally in advance, allowing for one-touch attachment to the machine at the zero point. This minimizes machine downtime and enables continuous operation of the electrical discharge machine. **Main Features** - External 3-axis presetting support: Adjustments for workpiece tilt and reference positions can be pre-set externally, significantly reducing the cumbersome dial gauge measurements and fine-tuning work on the machine. - High reproducibility with zero point: The vice preset externally can be attached and detached with one touch, ensuring repeatable positioning accuracy and allowing immediate processing after replacement. - Maximization of machine operating rate: While one machine is performing electrical discharge machining, the next workpiece can be preset externally. This is ideal for small-batch production of various types and long hours of unmanned operation. - High corrosion resistance and high rigidity stainless steel structure: Selected special heat-treated stainless materials are used to maintain high precision and rust resistance.

Applications/Examples of results
【Main Uses】 - High-precision wire electrical discharge machining for various types and small quantities of mold components (punches, dies, etc.) - Pre-setup pallet operation aimed at unmanned night operations and automated driving on holidays - Precision cutting of jigs and fine components for semiconductors and precision electronic parts 【Benefits of Implementation and Improvement Achievements】 - "70% reduction in setup time (reduction of machine downtime)" Alignment work on the machine (15-30 minutes per instance) has been shortened to a one-touch zero-point changeover (within a few minutes). - "Improvement in the operating rate of electrical discharge machines" Since the next process work can be adjusted in three axes using an external three-dimensional measuring machine or presetter during processing, the time the machine is stopped is minimized. - "Elimination of dependency on individual skills" Variations in alignment skills among operators have been eliminated, standardizing uniform high-precision clamping and rapid setup.

Company information
Our company specializes in "workholding tools" that maximize the operating rate of machine tools. In particular, we are focusing on the rapidly increasing demand for 5-axis machining and multi-surface machining, offering products such as "self-centering vises for 5-axis machining" and "EWR series wire-cut vises" that dramatically reduce setup time, as well as "mag vises (magnetic chucks)" and "automation-compatible mag vises" that enable simultaneous processing of five surfaces. We integrate our role as the exclusive distributor in Japan for globally renowned manufacturers such as Taiwan's "Earth Chain" and "Gintec," and the American "Paitape," with our function as a fabless manufacturer of our own brand (FIRSTEC) produced in overseas partner factories, supplying high-precision products that meet the needs of the field. Not only do we sell products, but we also provide proposals for optimal jig configurations based on machining conditions, loan demo machines, and extensive support for implementation. With a comprehensive after-sales service system that includes quality assurance, repair, and maintenance, we strongly support our customers' productivity improvement and labor-saving efforts.
