    What is precision engineering in Essex?

    Electrical discharge machining (EDM) or precision engineering in Essex is a manufacturing process that uses electrical sparks to cut into metal. We provide precision engineering in Essex to several high-profile companies in Defence, Medical & Pharmaceutical, Space and Motorsport industries.

    Our precision engineering in Essex solutions include:

    Wire EDM Precision Engineering In Essex

    Using a wire as the tools electrode, Wire EDM precision engineering in Essex prevents materials from eroding from the wire itself by continually switching. The process of precision engineering in Essex is well suited to tough materials such as Inconel and hardened tool steels.

    How does Wire EDM engineering work?

    This method of precision engineering in Essex is often used when the quality of the finish is paramount. Wire EDM engineering machinery utilises several minuscule cuts or ‘skims’ of the part removing microns of material at a time. This process is particularly useful for the manufacture of intricate, complex parts where a high degree of accuracy is required.

    Micro Precision EDM Precision Engineering In Essex

    Using a micro ‘fine’ wire as the tool, Micro EDM precision engineering in Essex is used on tough materials such as Inconel and hardened steels. It can also be used to cut parts made from tungsten carbide, titanium, aluminium, copper and other more exotic alloys providing that the material is electrically conductive.

    Spark Erosion / Die Sink EDM Precision Engineering In Essex

    Spark erosion is where an electric spark between 8,000-12,000 °C is created between an electrode and the workpiece. This effectively vaporises the material to create the required design. Our Charmilles Roboform 350 machine combines high-speed finishing, and micro and automated tool changer capability thus speeding up the production process. Lower electrode wear also keeps down the cost of the product.

    Our State-of-the-Art Precision Engineering in Essex Machinery

    Our GF machinery CUT 1000 machines are a benchmark in microwire erosion. Using wires of 20 μm, surface finishes of Ra 0.05 μm, 11 μm inside radii, 22 μm slits are now achievable. Production of both small and high-volume batches of components means that precision engineering in Essex is of real benefit in the manufacture of several technologies across a range of industries.

    What are the benefits of precision engineering in Essex?

    Difficult-to-Machine Materials

    Precision engineering in Essex is particularly suited to difficult-to-machine, tough, materials such as Inconel and hardened tool steels. The process is accurate and won’t compromise the surface finish of the resulting products.

    Quality Finishes

    As it is a non-contact manufacturing process, precision engineering in Essex achieves high-quality finishes. This means that the need for post-processing procedures and surface treatments will be greatly reduced.

    Quick Turnaround

    Our machinery can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing for very competitive pricing and quick turnaround times. Whether you require small or high-volume batch work, one-off products or prototypes, we can help with it all.

    Accuracy

    Our state-of-the-art machinery and automated software allow us to produce intricate, complex parts where a high degree of accuracy is required. Furthermore, our results are predictable and repeatable during every production run.

    Tight Tolerances

    We work with a range of industries where tight tolerances are essential. Our precision engineering in Essex machinery can accommodate intricate, complex parts, down to 20 microns in size with tolerances of less than 3 microns.
