Overview
The GF Machining Solutions CUT P 350 is a precision production wire EDM machine designed for high-throughput cutting of aerospace, medical, and industrial components. The CUT P series is built around GF Machining's Intelligent Power Generator (IPG) technology, which delivers higher cutting speeds with lower wire consumption than conventional generators. The machine's AE (Acoustic Emission) process monitoring detects wire breakage risks before they occur, enabling unattended overnight production runs. The 350x250mm work area and 250mm cutting height handle a broad range of precision tooling parts. The CUT P 350 features GF's Digital Axis Computer (DAC) for sub-micron position resolution and the Uniqua operator interface with touchscreen guidance. Automatic wire threading (AWT) ensures reliable restart after any interruption. The CUT P 350 is widely used in mold insert production, precision die cutting, and aerospace fuel system component manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The IPG is GF's patented power supply technology that analyzes gap conditions thousands of times per second and adapts the discharge pulse parameters in real time. This produces more efficient material removal per discharge, resulting in higher cutting speeds with less wire consumption and better surface quality than conventional generators.
02
In skim cutting mode with fine parameters, the CUT P 350 achieves Ra 0.08 µm — a near-mirror finish. This eliminates manual polishing on many mold insert surfaces and meets the surface finish requirements for medical device cavity tooling.
