DetailsThis process is ideal for machining complex parts and precision components from hard conductive materials, resulting in virtually stress free machining. Our expert staff can also perform Sinker EDM, a process where an electrode is used cut a geometric pattern into the material that is also useful for creating dies.
DetailsEDM can be used to machine difficult geometries in small batches or even on job-shop basis. Work material to be machined by EDM has to be electrically conductive. 2.

Details2.6.2 Combined electrical discharge machining and grinding hybrid machining. EDM and conventional grinding process can be combined that have some specified applications. Very low diameter microelectrodes can be manufactured using this process. Wire EDM may initially be used for the primary reduction of diameter for existing electrodes.
DetailsElectrical discharge machining (EDM) is a process of removing material by exposing it to repetitive controlled electrical discharges. It is suitable for thermoelectric phenomena. When a discharge occurs between the electrode/wire and the workpiece, heat energy is generated on the workpiece. This leads to the removal of the material layer.
DetailsElectrical discharge machining (EDM) is a non-traditional machining process based on removing material from a part by means of a series of repeated electrical discharges between tools, called electrodes, and the part being machined in the presence of a dielectric fluid.

DetailsParts made of ceramic, metal or plastic materials are well suited to this process which produces and extremely smooth and flat surface by removing a very thin layer of the material with each pass of the abrasive wheel. The grinding machine is built around a motorized spindle holding an abrasive wheel.
DetailsEDM or Electrical Discharge Machining, is a non-traditional machining method primarily used for cutting complex or odd shapes in hardened metals or materials that would be impossible to cut with traditional machining methods. The main limitation of Electrical Discharge Machining is that it can only cut materials that are electrically conductive.
DetailsElectrical discharge machining (EDM), also known as spark machining, spark eroding, die sinking, wire burning or wire erosion, is a metal fabrication process whereby a desired shape is obtained by using electrical discharges (sparks). Material is removed from the work piece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes, separated by a …
DetailsOur EDM services offer a precise method of cutting electrically conductive materials with minimal or no tooling required. Surface Grinding. We grind high tolerance parts to a very fine surface finish, while meeting requirements for flatness, parallelism, and squareness. Jig Grinding.

DetailsEDM grinding process was used to grind micro-electrodes to fine diameter bellow 20 μm on a CNC-EDM machine at second step. For EDM grinding, rotating mechanisms are mounted on both the WEDM machine and the CNC-EDM machine. A CCD camera is provided for viewing and for on-line dimensional controlling, when micro-electrodes were cutting.
DetailsA unique feature of the EDM manufacturing process is that the tool never actually contacts the workpiece. The electrical arc "jumps" from the tool to the workpiece in a series of rapidly pulsating discharges. ... ⦁ Precision Grinding (tolerances as tight as 2 micron) ... Competitive Electrical Discharge Machining Solutions.
DetailsDrilling EDM, this process is used for drilling, and the EDM is capable of machining very small deep holes compared to conventional drilling methods. In addition, EDM drilling does not require any debarring. During this process, the electrodes are tubular and the dielectric fluid is fed through the electrodes themselves.
DetailsSo, quite simply, the question has arisen as to by what process produces the best, highest quality hole between wire EDM, and ID grinding; roundness and surface finish. The material in which the holes are to be finished is a silicon carbide based ceramic; so regarding the tooling for the ID grinding operation, it would be diamond.
DetailsIt was found that the spark grinding (EDAG). In this process, the material is discharges thermally soften the work material in removed by the combined effect of electro-erosion of grinding zone, hence soften material easily removed EDM and micro-cutting of grinding process as shown by grinding action and consequently decrease the in Fig.10.
DetailsElectrical Discharge Machining, or EDM, is a process that uses electricity to vaporize metal in a localized area. There are several different kinds of EDM machinery on the market, and knowing as much as possible about each is key to choosing the right piece of equipment for your needs.

Location of spark generated during EDM is (a) Random (b) governed by dielectric strength (c) governed by the surface finish of the tool and work piece both (d) none of these.
DetailsElectric discharge machining, also known as spark erosion, electro-erosion or spark machining is a process of metal removal based on the principle of erosion of metals by an interrupted electric spark discharge between the electrode tool cathode and the work anode.
DetailsElectrical Discharge Machining is Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machining process, so like CNC Machining discussed above, EDM machines can achieve very tight control and consistency over the manufacturing process. They also require programming of the machine in advance of part creation.
DetailsElectrical discharge machining is a quick and unique way to create accurate deep small holes drilling in materials, regardless of their hardness. The hole drilling process involves using a brass electrode tube to channel the electrical discharges onto the material. This helps to create holes of various small dimensions.
DetailsSpeed is one distinctive advantage. Unless there is a high amount of material removal necessary, grinding is a faster machining process than EDM. On the other hand, if there is a large amount of material to be removed to achieve the desired shape, using EDM to machine the part before the grinding process is more efficient.
DetailsHowever, EDM technology has gotten better, too. One company with a perspective on how these processes compare is Makino (Mason, Ohio), a builder offering machining centers and EDM machines both. Billy Grobe is die/mold operations manager for this builder, and he often advises customers as to which metal removal process makes sense for their work.
DetailsEDM process is widely used for grinding wheels that are constructed with electrically conducting binding materials. EDM process uses an electrode as a tool that performs both truing and dressing. The action loosens the binder around the grain and allows desired grain (abrasive particle) protrusion on the surface by eroding the ...
DetailsElectrical discharge machining, or EDM, is a non-contact form of machining that projects sparks from an electrode or wire to vaporize material of any hardness. The visually impressive sinker EDM process actually only works one spark at a time. But with anywhere between 500 and 30,000 sparks every second, human eyes cannot keep up with it ...

DetailsElectrical discharge machining process works on the basic principle of spark generation and metal removed by spark erosion. EDM spark erosion is same as electric spark which burn a small hole in a piece of metal through witch it contacts. The spark generated by this process produces heat, which remove metal by erosion and evaporation.
