Today’s OEMs demand precision cutting. They require machine shops and other metalworking facilities to deliver components that meet exact specifications. Tight tolerances are essential for many electronic, military, and medical parts. While many processes can deliver this type of result, machinists often recommend wire EDM services.
Why EDM?
Each process provides some type of advantage to the operator and the customer. EDM wire is a unique technology. It has the capability to offer those who request it several recompenses. Among those that companies list as being the most beneficial are
- Tight Tolerances: EDM wire is easily able to produce tolerances of +/- 0.005
- Shapes and Configuration Capabilities: EDM wire is able to address the demands of complex shapes effortlessly. It can cut cleanly, without any distortion, the thinnest parts
- Material Diversity: The current technology allows machinist to easily slice through even some of the world’s hardest materials. These include
- Hastelloy
- Inconel
- Nitralloy
- Nimonic
- Stellite
- Tungsten Carbide
- Waspaloy
- Versatility: Wire EDM services include the creation of a single prototype and both short and long runs
- Finishing: This process removes the need for further finishing work because it does not leave behind burrs and similar defects
- Minimal Set-Up: The process requires little time and labor spent to set it up
Companies also like the affordability of wire EDM. What is also in its favor is its affordability. Wire EDM is really a cost-effective solution for producing complex components quickly and efficiently.
Wire EDM Services.
If a company is looking for preciseness, using wire EDM is one of the most cost-effective means of obtaining it. Accurate cutting is synonymous with wire EDM. Services include the fabricating close tolerances, producing small holes in a wide variety of metals and precision cutting of even complex or difficult shapes. As a result, companies increasingly request wire EDM to produce refined parts with high exactitude.
