1. Various Shapes and Sizes In Blind Cavities
There are many operations where ram EDM is the most efficient way to machine parts. Ram EDM can machine a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including sharp corners. Also this non-contact machining method with low-pressure flushing allows it to produce very thin sections.
Ram EDM can be done in the vertical or horizontal position. We are able to even EDM upside down. |
2. Extreme Accuracy and Fine Finishes
Depending on the accuracy of the electrode, tolerances of up to +/- .0001″ (.0025 mm) can be held. Furthermore, if the correct amount of current is used, very fine finishes can be obtained. |
3. Threads Into Hardened Materials
Ram EDM is capable of machining threads into hardened parts, difficult-to-machine alloys, and even carbide. CNC machines are capable of doing this by orbiting a threaded electrode. |
4. Molds
Ram EDM is an excellent machining method to produce various molds. |
5. Blind Keyways
Ram EDM can easily cut blind keyways. Wire EDM is usually used when keyways pass through the part. |
6. Internal Splines
When internal splines do not go through the part, then ram EDM is used to machine the splines. |
7. Hexes for Special Bolts and Parts
Ram EDM is ideal to machine blind hexes into special bolts and parts. |
8. Helical Gears and Shapes
Orbiting machines can machine helical gears and shapes. Our ram EDM machines are capable of doing orbital, vectorial, directional, conical, horizontal planetary, cylindrical, helical, concave and convex spherical machining. |
