I have recently purchased a Charmilles Robofil 200 and am trying to wrap my head around the operating process.
I understand a bit about the files but still have some confusion also.
Anyone familiar with this machine?

My machine has the Charmilles control not a Fanuc.
Another problem I am having is with the flushing, when I hit the button on the control to start the lower flush it comes on and works fine. When I press the button for the upper flush nothing happens. Is there something I need to do in order for it to come on?
What exactly is your confusion with the control? Not sure I can help with your flushing problem as i'm not familiar with the machine. It could be a mechanical or electrical fault or the top nozzle could just be blocked. Have you tried executing a flushing command to see if that works?
As always after a call to Charmilles tech support they gave me a quick answer. On this machine when you are using brass wire the upper flush is not used. A switch to stratified wire and loading of the technology file should enable the upper flushing system.
My confusion on the control is that it is somewhat different from my other machines. So far I think I like it pretty well. Could you walk me through a typical job setup and run? Please be detailed as I am very new to this control and will need to take baby steps to get through.
Major confusion exists in the area of the .tec files and 'E' settings in the program. How do I know which setting to use? On my other machines, I am familiar with them enough to be able to just make the adjustments to the cutting parameters manually. Or I can look them up in the book and adjust as necessary.
It sounds like you'd benefit far more from spending a bit of money and having a days on site training with a Charmilles engineer. It's a lot to ask to expain an entire job set up in a clear way to a beginner purely in a text format.
Ok thanks I might need to do that.
Hi all, just to ask if anyone has the cutting conditions for a wire machine charmilles robofile200, if I could provide a copy, I need to know the conditions for different types of materials and thicknesses, thanks in advance
Hi,
I think I can help you.. I figured all that allready
It is simple enough but.. I use user. tec as I do not have the right Tec file for my machine.
If u are interested give me a PM with your email and I'll try to teach you.
Hi
Just purchaced 1991 make Charmilles Robofil 200 wire edm. Have not powered it on. My question is : what controller is used in this machine. What maybe the speed of cutting for say 10mm steel pllate.
hi
I am new to wire edm and also to cnc software. So please help.
I wanted to know which software you all are using to operate the Robofil 200.
Dolpin EDM software has Robofil 200 post processor. Is this software good for this perticular machine?
Don't expect this machine to be fast by today's standards. It will do a good job everyday. I have come to enjoy and admire the simplicity of operation of this machine, while also using some of the more advanced features. For example the twist feature for making a twisted shape through a part saved me considerable time and money by not requiring a 4 axis program to be written. We have also found the machine to be a capable 4 axis machine. There are a few things annoying also. The machine was really designed around the use of stratified wire, this is a bit more expensive to purchase. Also the battery backup system works great, but not for very long.
