Wire EDM Machining (WEDM)
Machining of complex parts with tight tolerances, excellent surface finish, and maximum dimensional accuracy.
Wire EDM is a non-contact machining process that allows conductive materials to be cut regardless of their hardness, using a metallic wire and controlled electrical discharges.
| Capability | Value |
|---|---|
| Precision | ±0.005 mm |
| Minimum slot width | 0.35 mm |
| Materials | Hardened steel, stainless steel, tungsten carbide, titanium |
| Surface finish | Ra 0.2 µm |
| Maximum thickness | 250 mm |
Applications:
- Manufacturing of cutting dies
- Extrusion dies
- Through slots
- Gears
- Cutting of complex geometries or parts with small internal edges and radii
- Cases where milling is not feasible due to geometry and thickness
