One‑click wire threading, fully automated throughout | Ande Jianqi AR2 Ultra automatic wire‑threading mid‑travel wire EDM machine

Manual wire threading is time‑consuming, relies on experienced operators, demands constant supervision, and struggles to maintain consistent precision—challenges that many machine‑tool manufacturers face. The AR2 Ultra automatic wire‑threading wire EDM machine, a sub‑brand under Ande Jianqi, has pioneered fully automated wire threading in the wire‑cutting industry through comprehensive design upgrades and technological innovation. By breaking free from the traditional reliance on manual threading, it transforms the machining process, making the smart‑manufacturing promise of “no hand‑held threading, no need for continuous monitoring” a tangible reality.

One-click activation of full automation—now that’s true smart threading.

The repetitive manual operations of threading, tensioning, and reeling are the primary bottleneck hindering improvements in production efficiency. The Ande Jianqi AR2 Ultra features a highly integrated, automated design that consolidates threading, tensioning, and wire‑reeling into a seamless, fully automated process.
① Automatic wire threading: Automatically threads the molybdenum wire.

② Automatic thread retraction: Automatically retracts the thread after processing.

③ Automatic wire tensioning: Works in tandem with wire threading and wire reeling to automatically adjust to the required tension, thereby reducing operator workload.

④ Assisted semi-automatic wire threading: Handles complex threading scenarios with ease, preventing production interruptions caused by thread jams.
Processing safety and operational stability are among the core priorities for businesses. The AR2 Ultra features multiple safety and reliability safeguards: it is equipped with wire‑break protection and stall‑protection functions to enhance system security; advanced tension monitoring ensures consistent tension control, laying a solid foundation for stable machining; a precision wire‑threading mechanism guarantees accurate threading; and high‑quality manufacturing—using premium raw materials and meticulous craftsmanship—ensures the machine’s durability.

On the intelligent control system, the AR2 Ultra features automatic wire‑break detection and an automated wire guide cleaner, ensuring continuous, high‑efficiency operation. It also supports automatic step‑over machining and centralized scrap removal, maintaining cutting stability throughout the process without manual intervention—truly delivering “worry‑free operation from the moment you power it on.”

Dual assurance of precision and efficiency—outstanding overall performance.

While achieving automation, the AR2 Ultra has not compromised on fundamental performance metrics such as precision, efficiency, and ease of operation.
