Precision engineers in Cambridgeshire specialising in CNC wire erosion
WIRE EROSION SERVICES FOR COMPLEX COMPONENTS & PARTS
We currently have two multi axis wire EDM’s with a maximum capacity of 250mm x 350mm by 200mm high.
This allows our Wire EDM machines to work by immersing the part in dielectric fluid (deionised water) which is then eroded with positively charged 0.25mm wire. This process will work with anything metallic and eliminates the corner radii produced when using milling machines.
This process produces parts to a high dimensional accuracy and can be used to achieve high quality surface finishes up to 0.4 RA.
BENEFITS OF CNC WIRE EROSION
-
Capable of producing extremely fine and detailed cuts with tolerances down to microns.
-
Since there’s no direct contact, there’s minimal stress or distortion on the material.
-
Produces smooth surfaces, often reducing or eliminating the need for post-machining polishing or finishing.
-
Can cut hardened steels, carbides, titanium, and other tough materials that are difficult or impossible to machine with traditional methods.
-
CNC programming allows for repeatable, automated, and unattended operations, improving productivity and consistency.
-
Minimizes material waste thanks to its precision, making it a cost-effective choice for expensive materials.
