A lot has been accomplished in recent years to make wire EDM more efficient and reliable, but little has been done to make it faster. A big part of that limitation is just physics. A standard 0.010” ...
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process that discharges electric sparks from two electrodes on a metal sheet to detach the desired shape. Also called spark machining, it employs ...
Electric discharge machining (EDM) may be slower than alternatives like laser cutting, water jets, or a milling machine, but for some applications there’s no alternative: it can cut through any ...
GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS developed its next-generation CUT S 400 Dedicated wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) to increase flexibility and reduce maintenance in the production aerospace jet-engine ...
Wire EDM, often described as an electronic bandsaw with micron‑level precision, was the ideal process. However, not all EDM ...
They say that if you have a lathe, you have every other machine tool too. To some degree, that’s true — you can make almost anything on a lathe, including another lathe, and even parts best made on ...
GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS’ patented CUT AM 500 horizontal wire EDM technology was developed specifically for additive-manufactured component separation, for example in production of medical implants and ...
Kennametal’s KCU25B tooling proved durable enough for turn-peeling a lengthy austenitic stainless steel 1.4435 rotor while reducing cycle times.
Wire EDM differs from traditional machining because it does not rely on physical cutting tools. Instead, a thin electrically charged wire creates controlled sparks that erode metal. There is no direct ...
