Third-party Wire EDM

Wire-cutting EDM, also known as Wire EDM, goes beyond basic machining by leveraging electrical discharges to produce highly accurate programmed contours. Submerged in a dielectric solution, the process enables the production of intricate components like extrusion dies, cutting punches, molds, and other detailed parts with exceptional precision.

On most modern machines, the X and Y axes can move independently from the U and V axes. This capability allows the cutting of conical shapes and transitions between different geometries with ease. The wire, typically made of copper coated with brass, is constantly fed from a spool, flowing continuously and being consumed due to wear caused by electrical discharges.

This is the best technology for creating through-holes on conductive materials with strict dimensional tolerances (less than one-hundredth of a millimeter). It is highly versatile and can work with all types of metals and alloys, including copper, brass, aluminum, steel, hardened materials, tungsten carbide, and conductive materials like graphite. Additionally, it can process chemically or thermally treated materials with precision.

Thanks to these features, Wire EDM is particularly suitable for creating dies and is essential for precision mechanical machining.
