Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a precise manufacturing process that involves the creation of complex shapes through a series of controlled electrical discharges between a thin EDM wire and an electrically conductive material like stainless steel. This method allows for high levels of accuracy and intricacy in the production of various components, making it a favored technique in industries requiring meticulous and intricate parts fabrication. The cutting path of the wire, which is held in place by an upper and lower guide, can be programmed to produce the desired shape.
Advantages of Wire EDM
- Creates simple or complex shapes or patterns that would be challenging to produce with conventional cutting tools.
- CNC-controlled cutting patterns can be completed quickly on a wide range of stainless steel alloys while maintaining a low Ra surface roughness
- High dimensional accuracy for close-fitting parts
- The tool and the workpiece do not make actual contact which allows for machining of delicate sections and weak materials.
- The process leaves minimal burrs
- Custom tooling is generally not needed
