Types of Electrical Discharge Machines

Sinker Electrical Discharge Machining

Sinker Electrical Discharge Machining

Sinker EDM is ideal in applications with stringent surface finish requirements, especially when cutting exotic or tough materials. It is widely employed in the injection molding and die-casting tool-making sectors. It is used to make nonmachinable complexity and finely detailed cavity features in molds without imposing any machining or impact stress on the mold.

Tolerance range:±0.002

Surface roughness: Ra0.2

Workpiece size: 200*300*400mm

Wire EDM

Wire EDM, otherwise known as wire erosion, It is most commonly used for making extrusion tools and punch/die sets.

Tolerance range:±0.002

Surface roughness: Ra0.2

Workpiece size: 200*400*550mm

Wire EDM
Hole Drilling Electrical Discharge Machining

Hole Drilling Electrical Discharge Machining

The hole-drilling EDM process is used to drill holes. It is especially useful for machining extremely small and deep holes, eliminating the need for deburring.

Tolerance range:±0.02

Surface roughness: Ra0.8

Workpiece size: 200*300*400mm

  • Advantages of EDM Machining

  • Tight Tolerance

    Tight Tolerance

    EDM offers exceptional profile accuracy, with tolerances as tight as ±0.005 in easily obtainable..
  • Flexibility

    Flexibility

    EDM can create shapes and contours that other types of machines cannot.
  • Materials

    Materials

    EDM can be used on any conductive material, whether it has been hardened or not, including stainless steel, titanium, tungsten, copper, carbide, and tool steels.
  • Distortion

    Distortion

    EDM is suitable for cutting hardened materials. Forms can be machined after heat treating is complete, eliminating the problem of distortion caused by heat treat.
  • Precision

    Precision

    EDM is a precision machining process with no cutting force applied to the workpiece. It allows producing finely detailed parts that would be impossible to achieve with conventional cutting methods.
  • Finishing

    Finishing

    The surface of a piece machined with EDM can be as smooth and consistent as 4Ra without polishing, eliminating the need for secondary operations in many applications.
