Professional & Affordable Spark Erosion or Die Sink EDM
What is spark erosion?
Spark erosion is where an electric spark between 8-12 thousand degrees Celsius is created between an electrode (cutting tool) and the work piece effectively ‘vaporising’ 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 customer base boasts a variety of highly regarded, blue chip companies in areas as diverse as Defence, Medical & Pharmaceutical, Space and Motorsport. Please don’t hesitate to contact us today. Our friendly and professional team would be happy to help and provide trusted recommendations.
How do the Spark Erosion or Die Sink EDM process work?
Spark erosion allows us to achieve intricate details inside components that would, otherwise, be too complex or impossible to obtain with traditional cutting methods. This technique is especially useful for the machining of hard materials such as mould tools. 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 spark erosion. Like Wire EDM, Spark Erosion can be used for applications where adherence to tight tolerances of 0.1 microns is key.
What are the benefits of Spark Erosion or Die Sink EDM?
Difficult-to-Machine Materials
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, 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 machinery can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing for quick turnaround times. Furthermore, our Charmilles Roboform 350 machine 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 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, Spark Erosion can be used for applications where adherence to tight tolerances of 0.1 microns is key.
