High Precision EDM Wire Cutting

Industries that mostly use EDM Wire cutting are Mold Making, and the Tool and Die Industries. For making prototypes it is great, particularly in the Auto, Aerospace and Electronics industries.

EDM Wire Cutting is a process whereby a wire, usually brass has an electrical charge passed through it and an electrical spark is created which cuts the material with heat without affecting the surrounding material. The resulting cut is highly precise

Advantages of EDM Wire Cutting

It can create complex shapes that would be very difficult with ordinary cutting tools.  As there is no tool pressure it is suited to small material forms where the conventional tools may damage the surrounding material with undue pressure and heat.

As there is no direct contact between the wire and the material being cut, there is no distortion with small and fragile sections. The process produced no burrs so there is no finishing or polishing required after the process has been completed

CAD drafting services

We use Solidworks, our preferred CAD CAM software, and it is probably the best you can get which sometimes can be a problem because you can design objects and products that look great on screen but maybe next to impossible to produce economically. This is where our experience comes and although the design may look good on the screen you have to be able to produce it within a reasonable budget. As we provide a complete service from start to finish, design, prototyping, and manufacturing, we are keenly aware of the necessity for all parts of the process to be well thought out and integrated.

We are problem solvers and as such we will study the problem with efficient design and manufacture in mind to give you the most efficient and economical solution possible.

If you have a new product in mind and would like to discuss the design and production process, please give us a call. We will be happy to guide you through the design and manufacturing process. You can bring your sketches and handmade mockups, or if you just have an idea floating around your head, we can turn your vision into a reality with the best engineering support and crew fit for any challenge.

EDM wire cutting has the special ability to machine a variety of conductive materials including super alloys, medical grade steel, titanium, tungsten carbide, all the aluminium alloys, copper and brass. Even metals that have been hardened or are especially ductile or brittle are usually difficult to machine by other means, can be effectively machined by the EDM wire cutting method.

One of the benefits of EDM wire cutting is the ability to cut hardened heat-treated metals. The process imposes no heat stress to the metal being worked upon and this eliminates any need for heat treatment after the process has completed.

Very high quality edges and accuracy are achieved. With wire cutting very complex shapes can be produced and there are very tight tolerances of accuracy achieved. Tolerances up to + or -5 microns can be expected.

One of the major benefits of the EDM wire cutting is its constant reliability. The program is computer-generated and the electrode is constantly being renewed from a spool. Conventional machine tools with their inherent ware and tear do not play a part in the production process. All parts of the production process are constant and reliable.

EDM wire machine production can dramatically reduce production costs for many parts and engineering projects. The processes is accurate, stress-free, burr-free and where straight edges are required the edges are perfectly straight.

If you have designed your parts on your own CAD system we can accept most files and if not we can design them for you. Whatever way, you can expect perfectly engineered and precisely manufactured parts. Please call us for more information.
