Wire EDM Machine
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining
(Wire EDM) opens the door to great results on complex or demanding machining
projects. This process removes material from the workpiece to create sophisticated
cuts and shapes that, in some cases, would be almost impossible using standard
lathes and mills.
Benefits of Wire Electrical Discharge
Machining
Wire EDM uses a thin,
electrically charged wire to cut metal components into desired shapes. This
improves on traditional EDM processes by offering more complex maneuvers and
ultimately more precise cuts. The thin wire is little wider than a thread, and
can be programmed to cut in hard-to-reach places and in elaborate ways. A
90-degree cut inside of a piece, for example. Additionally, Wire EDM leaves a
product almost free of imperfections, so there’s less need for de-burring or additional
finishing.
Consider these benefits of choosing
a machine shop with extensive Wire EDM experience:
• Suitable
on a variety of materials, especially those too fragile for other machining
processes.
• Wire
EDM produces a continuous cut in the material.
• There
may be no need for additional processing of the workpiece.
• It
is excellent for complex shapes with a high amount of detail.
• It
produces finished products to very tight tolerances, critical for many
industries.
The Right Metals
Wire EDM machining is used on a
diverse range of thick and thin metals, which must be conductive to use the
process. Some metals that are excellent candidates for EDM are:
• Aluminum
• Brass
• Graphite
• Steel
• Titanium
We can use Wire EDM on fragile
materials that might not hold up to traditional methods of machining.
Additionally it works well on both large and small pieces, making it an ideal
candidate for many types of projects. Wire EDM lets you create the designs you
need in the materials you want.
