EDM Machining with Micron Accuracies:
Our Wire EDM work along with our 5 Axis Contour machining
is our pride and crown jewel.
Wire EDM
work is our specialty; particularly 5 Axis Wire EDM work.
We can achieve one-micron positional accuracy (0.5 micron was
the best we had achieved under a special circumstance but 3 microns
(.000118") is more commonly achieved). We use the true 5
Axis indexing system that we had custom assembled by combining
the efforts of a Japanese Control Systems company and a Swiss
EDM company. We also perform Conventional EDM / RAM EDM/
Plunge EDM machining services (all referring, of course,
to the same process of plunging an Electrode to form the intended
shape ). It is the unique way we use our 5 Axis Precision
Machining Centers and Highly precise Wire EDMs
which allows us to machine the “almost impossible to make”
plunging patterns that are some times needed for the unusual Sink
EDM Machining.
Our Wire EDM Machining department has a positive
pressure airflow system to maintain a room temperature within
+/- 0.5 degrees during critical processes. The EDM Machining area
is more like a clean room, than a machine shop. Of course, it
is our experienced workforce, which makes the otherwise impossible
possible by extending these highly accurate EDM machines
past the limits of the manufacturer’s tolerances. If you
are looking for some one to make the “almost impossible
to make” component with EDM Machining, we would appreciate
an opportunity to discuss your needs. In order to achieve micron
tolerances, we limit our EDM work envelop to : X:12", Y:9",
Z:10" ( X:304.8mm, Y: 228.6mm, Z: 254mm ).
If you
need truly close tolerances, it truly is what we do best. To find
