Charmilles Robofil 310 wire breakage problems
Hello everyone,
As the title indicates we have an old Charmilles Robofil 310 wire machine. We have been having troubles with wire breakage during the annealing process of the wire cut function. We just went through the upper and lower heads replacing contacts, cutters and cables and adjusting the few things that can be adjusted but it doesn't seem to have made a bit of difference. We are using Stammcut XI wire and we have used a few other non-Charmilles wires in an attempt to save a few bucks and I suspect these cheaper wires are part of the problem. Can I hear a few opinions about this or suggestions about where else to look for the culprit? Years ago we used Charmilles SW25X and didn't have many issues but I haven't operated this machine for nearly a decade and now I'm not sure if it's just the age of the machine or a wire problem. Thanks, Chris.
