Wire EDM Machines

A CNC wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) tool taper cuts or shapes conductive materials using a thin electrode that follows a precisely programmed path. A gap between the wire and the workpiece ensures no distortion in the path of the wire or the shape of the material. Enclosed in deionized water, the wire rapidly charges to a desired voltage where a spark jumps the gap, melts a small portion of the workpiece, and the deionized water cools and flushes away any particles. This is ideal for delicate or small parts that could be damaged with conventional machining, thick parts requiring high finishes and accuracies, complex shapes, narrow slots, larger parts that must hold accurate tolerances, and hard, exotic and expensive materials.
