EDM Machining

EDM Machining: referring to Electro / Electrical Discharge Machining.

Wire EDM work is our specialty; particularly 5 Axis Wire EDM work. We can achieve one-micron positional accuracy (0.5 micron ( .00002") was the best we had achieved under a special circumstance but 3 microns is more commonly achieved). We use the true 5 Axis indexing system that we had custom assembled by combining the efforts of Japanese Control System companies 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 make 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 to the limits of the manufacturer’s tolerances and beyond. 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".
