- Suitable for electrically conductive materials
Electrical Discharge Machining
EDM Machining for Precision Components
Wire EDM and Sinker EDM support for complex profiles, precision features and components where conventional machining access may be limited. Manufacturing requirements are reviewed against your drawings, materials and inspection needs.
EDM capabilities
Wire EDM & Sinker EDM
Different EDM processes are considered according to part geometry, feature accessibility, material and functional requirements.
Sinker EDM
- Complex cavities and localized formed features
- Internal details with limited cutting-tool access
- Mold inserts and tooling components
- Electrode and surface requirements reviewed for each project
