This 1997 Fanuc Robocut Alpha-1C-S is a 5-axis submersible CNC wire EDM running Fanuc's own 16W-C control with automatic wire threading, 20.47" x 14.56" x 11.81" of X/Y/Z travel, and +/-2.364" of independent U/V travel for taper work to +/-15° at 7.98", +/-30° at 3.26", and +/-45° at 1.93". It cuts wire from 0.004" to 0.012" at feed rates up to 590 IPM through round diamond die guides, holds a 0.000004" least input increment for fine detail, and accepts workpieces up to 31.10" x 28.74" x 10.83" weighing up to 1,430 lbs (650 kg), or 990 lbs (450 kg) when run submerged — backed by an Ebbco filtration system, Remcor chiller, wire reclamation bin, and a full set of manuals. Against earlier Fanuc Robocut wire EDMs that ran the older 15-series control without submerged machining or automatic wire threading, the Alpha-1C-S generation added Fanuc's 16W-C CNC, full submersible cutting, and AWT on the same proven Robocut platform — upgrades that improve surface finish, taper accuracy, and unattended run time for tool-and-die, mold, and precision punch work.
