Understanding the Process and Benefits of Wire EDM

by Plouse Precision Manufacturing on Feb 8, 2011

Wire electrical discharge machining is used to produce precision parts for any application. The machine can slice through difficult-to-machine metals with an electrically energized thin brass wire. Wire EDM is used to produce parts for a wide variety of industries including aerospace, medical, defense, automotive and electric and semiconductor manufacturing.

Using rapid, controlled, repetitive spark discharges, these machines can create intricate profiles and produce and repeat required specifications with ease. Wire EDM is a non-traditional method of removing material by a series of rapidly recurring electric arcing discharges between an electrode and the work piece, in the presence of an energetic electric field.

Wire EDM is specifically designed to work with materials that are electrically conductive. Such materials are usually ferrous alloys. The wire-cut process uses water as its dielectric with the water's resistivity and other electrical properties...Read More >>

Finding Good Quality EDM Hole Popper Parts

by Editor123

The EDM Hole Popper is a common piece of equipment used in high precision machining. EDM stands for Electrical Discharge Machining. The fundamental concept behind an EDM drill is that you use an electrode to erode a work-piece using electrical sparks. The electricity flows through the electrode in the form of a square wave attacking the points of least resistance on the work-piece. This is similar to how a bolt of lightning would hit a tree before it hits the ground.
This ‘Zap’ takes place every time the current is switched on in the square wave and then the current is switched...
