Wire edm is a type of machine that is used to make metal parts. It has been around for years and it has helped companies save time and money when it comes to manufacturing.

Wire edm machines are becoming more efficient with the help of workholders. They have improved the quality of the wire edge and they have also increased production rates. This means that wire edm machines are more efficient than they were before, which is a good thing for companies who use them.

The workholders of the machine are a major factor in the productivity of these machines. They are responsible for holding and turning the workpiece, which is the object that is being machined. The holders can be either manual or automatic, depending on what type of machine it is.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is high accuracy, demanding machining applications where conventional metal removal is difficult or impossible. EDM Technology can control the erosion of tungsten electrical contacts by immersing them in a dielectric fluid.

Die Sinker and Wire EDM are the popular EDM technologies.

Die Sinker EDM

Most popular Die sinker EDM is useful because it creates complex cavity shapes in tool and die applications, such as metal stamping dies and plastic injection molds. The die sinker process begins with machining a graphite electrode to form a “positive” of the desired cavity. This electrode in work piece, causing sparking over its surface as features close the sparking gap — the distance required for sparking.

Wire EDM

Wire EDM uses a thin wire for an electrode. The wire moves in a carefully controlled pattern, roughly analogous to a woodworker’s scroll saw, causing sparking to occur between the wire and the work-piece. Because the electrical discharge erodes by the wire and the work-piece, Wire EDM machines use a spool of wire that’s continuously moving to present a fresh discharge path in the cut.

Systems EDM tooling, electrodes, Chucks, Holders, Pallets, fixtures, materials, guides, and other supplies are used in electrical discharge machining (EDM). EDM tooling requires materials such as electrodes and wires.
