Edm Metal Cutting Machine

Modern edm machines with awt automatic wire threading and cnc capability can be programmed to work lights out to help mitigate the slow cutting speed.

As long time experts in the precision metal cut off business we ve perfected our edm metal cutting capabilities to deliver the ultimate precision in 2 axis edm cut off. A wire edm machine is a type of cnc machine that can move along four independent axes to generate taper cuts. However for very high volumes of parts with diameters larger than 0 020 0 5 mm a method such as thin wheel abrasive cutting might be preferred. As a result our cut off method produces highly repeatable lengths without end deformation distortion or delamination more economically than many competing methods.

The process is very common in manufacturing of injection molds. Extrusion dies or nozzles and horns can be cut with constantly changing tapers. Wire cut edm is typically used to cut plates as thick as 300mm and to make punches tools and dies from hard metals that are difficult to machine with other methods. Edm electrical discharge machining is a way of cutting metal using electricity similar to a plasma cutter except under water.

The wire which is constantly fed from a spool is held between upper and lower diamond guides which is centered in a water nozzle head. For example a stamping die can be machined with 1 4 degree taper or a mold with one degree taper in some areas and two degrees in another with precision. Edm is also known as spark machining and spark eroding.
