Wire Cut – Wire Erosion (Wire EDM) Machining
Wire cut (wire erosion EDM Machining): Wire EDM Customers are demanding more from their supply-chain partners than ever before. Innovative machining technologies such as wire cut – also know as wire erosion or wire EDM, become ever more in demand, especially as wire cut machining automation and accuracy improves to new levels of performance.
21st Century Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Services
The uses for wire electrical discharge machining have expanded – as wire erosion as a machining technology has improved, and high volume wire EDM machining has increased it’s capabilities. Across industries as diverse as aerospace, automotive, Oil & Gas, medical, telecommunications and defence, the search is on for lighter, stronger and more durable components. Not to mention the demand for intricate and complex shapes cut from new and difficult-to-work materials, without compromising on quality, lead time or cost.
It’s little wonder that traditional machining processes – in certain circumstances struggle to meet the task. As material technologies develop, new and improved materials and alloys become difficult-to-machine using traditional methods, particularly when machining thin-walled components, tiny holes or apertures, pre-hardened part machined components or mechanical sub-assemblies sporting complex internal machining. Little wonder, too, that more and more engineering companies are turning to wire EDM as a reliable, inherently versatile technology that allows them to push back the frontiers of performance.
Our Wire EDM division can offer a vast machining capacity with over 1000 hours available each week, from 24 hour, 7 days per week running of our wire cut machining service. Wire Erosion can handle any type of work from high volume to small batch and one-off requirements.
‘We use wire cut (wire EDM) because we could not machine the parts using alternative technology due to the intricate features and tight dimensional tolerances’
