This 1997 Fanuc Robocut a-1C CNC Wire EDM is a precision 4-axis submerged wire EDM built around Fanuc's own 16-W CNC control, with 20.5" x 14.6" x 11.8" of X / Y / Z travel and +/-2.362" of independent U/V travel for taper and conical work up to +/-30° standard. The machine handles workpieces up to 39.1" x 28.7" x 11.8" in flushing mode (10.8" submerged) at weights up to 1,430 lbs flushing / 990 lbs submerged, runs wire from 0.004" to 0.012" diameter at speeds up to 590 IPM, and pulses out a peak machining rate of 28 square inches per hour on its digital AC/DC power supply. Compared to the early-1990s Robocut M-series Fanuc wire EDMs that ran the slower Fanuc 15-W control and AC-only power supplies, the a-1C generation brought the upgraded Fanuc 16-W control plus a digital AC/DC power supply onto the same proven Robocut mechanical platform — upgrades that improved surface finish, taper accuracy, and operator workflow for tool-and-die and mold shop work. With a 1,430 lb workpiece capacity, full 4-axis taper, and the Fanuc-direct service and parts support that still exists for the 16-W generation, this a-1C is positioned as a budget-friendly modern-Fanuc wire EDM at a fraction of the cost of a current a-CiB or ß-iB series machine.
