Wire EDM Machines Competes Seriously With Conventional Machining |
Because of the new generation of high-speed wire EDM machines, manufacturers increasingly are discovering that wire EDM produces many parts more economically than conventional machining. Today, wire EDM competes seriously with such conventional machining as milling, broaching, grinding, and short-run stamping. Conventional wisdom suggests that wire EDM is only competitive when dealing with expensive and difficult-to-machine parts. But this is not the case. Wire EDM is often used with simple shapes and easily machined materials. Our company receives much work that could be machined by conventional methods. Although many of the customers have conventional CNC machines, they send their work to us to be EDMed. |

| Benefits of Production Wire EDM |
There are some very important benefits with machining parts with the wire EDM process:
-
Close tolerances can be held without additional cost and without burrs
-
Tighter tolerances and shapes can be efficiently machined with wire EDM
-
Exotic alloys can be machined just as easily as mild steel.
-
Since the traveling wire electrode passes through the work piece only once, unless there are internal stresses in the material or heat factors, the first part
EDMed will be identical with the hundredth or thousandth part.

Ram EDM Production
Automatic Tool Changers, Orbital Capabilities, and
Programmable C-Axis Machines |
 |
With our automatic tool changers, orbital capabilities, and
programmable C-axis machines, we’re able to EDM difficult parts and fulfill large
production orders. Also we’re able to fill the table with parts and use the automatic capabilities of the CNC machines and tool changers. |
 |
|
Small Hole EDM Production
CNC Small Hole EDMs |
|
 |
With
our CNC small hole EDM drills we’re able to load the table with
parts as the drills put in holes automatically. Our small hole EDM
drills are capable of drilling holes from .012” to .187” and depths
up to 500 times the diameter of the electrode. |
