CNC WIRE EDM

Wire EDM, or Electrical Discharge Machining, is a machining process that uses a thin wire filament and voltage to cut conductive materials, achieving exceptional dimensionally accurate results.

The electrically grounded part and the charged wire are placed in a dielectric liquid, such as deionized water. When the CNC motion-controlled part nears the wire, tiny electrical sparks jump the gap and erode the material into the desired shape as programmed. The dielectric liquid cools the part and carries away small debris.

CNC Wire EDM can achieve extremely tight tolerances and complex geometries and, because the wire never directly contacts the workpiece, stress and deformation are minimized.
