Wire EDM

Wire EDM offers several advantages over conventional machining methods. Because material is removed through electrical discharge rather than physical cutting force, the process avoids mechanical stress and produces virtually burr-free edges, reducing the need for secondary deburring. It also holds tight tolerances and fine surface finishes on hard or heat-resistant materials that are difficult to machine conventionally, and it can produce intricate contours and sharp internal corners that other cutting methods cannot reach.

Yes. Wire EDM can be coordinated with CNC milling, CNC turning, sinker EDM, grinding, and inspection within the same facility. This allows a part to move between processes without being sent to an outside EDM supplier.

Wire EDM works on any electrically conductive material and is commonly used on hard or heat-resistant alloys that are difficult to cut conventionally, supporting a wide range of materials from tool steels to exotic alloys. Because the wire never contacts the part with cutting force, it can hold tight tolerances on delicate or hardened features.

Our wire EDM equipment supports work envelopes up to 13.5" x 20.5" x 16". Final part fit and cutting speed depend on the complete part geometry, material, and required tolerances, so request a quote with your part drawing to confirm capacity.

Wire EDM machining is well suited for parts with intricate cut profiles, fine details, sharp corners, and other features difficult to achieve with conventional cutting. A thin, moving wire and controlled electrical discharges cut through electrically conductive material without contact force, delivering high precision and holding tight tolerances on delicate features.
