Electrical Discharge Machining (or EDM) is a machining method used to machine any conductive materials including hard metals which are difficult to machine with traditional techniques. ... The EDM cutting tool is guided along the desired path very close to the work but it does not touch the piece.
Electrical Discharge Machining, which can be divided into three common types,
they are : Wire EDM, sinker EDM and hole drilling EDM. The one described above is called sinker EDM. It is also known as die sinking, cavity type EDM, volume EDM, traditional EDM, or Ram EDM.
The most widely used in the mold manufacturing is Wire EDM, it also known as wire-cut EDM, spark machining, spark eroding, EDM cutting, wire cutting, wire burning and wire erosion. And the difference between wire EDM and EDM is:Conventional EDM cannot produce narrower angles or more complex patterns, while wire-cut EDM can be performed. ... A more precise cutting process allows for more complex cuts. The wire EDM machine is capable of cutting a metal thickness of about 0.004 inches.
Is EDM wire expensive? Its current cost of approximately $6 a pound, is the single highest cost related to the use of WEDM technology. The faster a machine unspools wire, the more it costs to operate that machine.
Nowadays,Makino is the world leader brand in wire EDM, which can giving you faster processing times and superior surface finishes for even the most complex part geometries.
Makino Machine Tool is a precision CNC machine tool manufacturer founded in Japan by Tsunezo Makino in 1937. Today, Makino Machine Tool's business has spread all over the world. It has manufacturing bases or sales networks in the United States, Europe and Asian countries. In 2009, Makino Machine Tool invested in a new R&D center in Singapore to be responsible for the R&D of low- and mid-range processing equipment outside of Japan.
