Wire EDM-short for wire electrical discharge machining-is a non-contact machining process that uses a thin, electrically charged wire to cut through metal. The wire never touches the workpiece.

Wire EDM works a bit like a hot-wire cutter slicing through foam, but all by itself that’s not enough to produce those impossibly close-fitting parts we love to see.

GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS developed its next-generation CUT S 400 Dedicated wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) to increase flexibility and reduce maintenance in the production aerospace jet-engine ...

Wire EDM works a bit like a hot-wire cutter slicing through foam, but all by itself that’s not enough to produce those impossibly close-fitting parts we love to see.

The new wire EDM machine was purchased to increase capacity, improve cycle times, achieve tighter tolerances and improve surface finishes for its precision cast machined components. The Sodick ALC800G ...

“But even beyond that, wire EDM is widely used in the aerospace and medical industries to cut complex geometries in high-value parts. Having even a basic understanding of this key machining technology ...

Makino’s UPN-01 wire EDM with horizontal feed system is said to enable reliable unattended operation, even with wire diameters as fine as 0.00078" (0.02 mm). It is designed for fiber optics, ...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process that discharges electric sparks from two electrodes on a metal sheet to detach the desired shape. Also called spark machining, it employs ...

A H80R.MAC high-speed rotary spindle and H1680.AC4 variable-speed ac controller, combined with wire-EDM equipment, make possible the production of parts to 0.002-in.
