What is EDM spark erosion?
EDM spark erosion is where an electric spark between 8-12 thousand degrees Celsius is created between an electrode/cutting tool. This effectively vaporises the workpiece material to create the required design. Our Charmilles Roboform 350 EDM spark erosion machine combines high-speed finishing and micro and automated tool changer capability. This speeds up to EDM spark erosion production process. Lower electrode wear also keeps down the cost of the product.
We complete EDM spark erosion for blue chip companies in areas as diverse as Defence, Medical & Pharmaceutical, Space and Motorsport. Get in touch with us for a FREE quote today.
How does EDM spark erosion work?
EDM spark erosion lets us achieve intricate details inside components that would be too complex with traditional cutting methods. The EDM spark erosion technique is useful for the machining of hard materials such as mould tools or the removal of broken taps. It also allows for a good surface finish and the drilling of very small and complicated shapes.
As there’s no contact between the tool and the piece, intricate sections or weak materials can be worked on without distortion. If materials have a minimum electrical conductivity of 0.01 S/cm, then it’s likely they can be machined with EDM spark erosion. Like Wire EDM, EDM Spark Erosion can be used for applications where adherence to tight tolerances of 0.1 microns is key.
What are the benefits of EDM spark erosion?
Difficult-to-Machine Materials
EDM spark erosion allows us to achieve intricate details inside components that would, otherwise, be too complex or impossible to obtain with traditional cutting methods. 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, EDM spark erosion achieves high-quality finishes. This means that the need for post-processing procedures and surface treatments will be greatly reduced.
Quick Turnaround
Our EDM spark erosion machinery can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing for quick turnaround times. Our machinery combines high-speed finishing, and micro and automated tool changer capability thus speeding up the production process.
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 EDM spark erosion results are predictable and repeatable during every production run.
Tight Tolerances
We work with a range of industries where tight tolerances are essential. Like Wire EDM, EDM spark erosion can be used for applications where adherence to tight tolerances of 0.1 microns is key.
