Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)
WE MANAGE EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR PROJECT, ENSURING PRECISION AND EXCELLENCE IN Electrical Discharge Machining
At Source Machine, our Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) services offer high-precision solutions for creating complex shapes and features that traditional machining methods cannot achieve. We provide both Wire EDM and Die Sinker EDM to meet diverse application requirements with unmatched accuracy and detail.
Wire EDM
Wire EDM uses a thin, electrically charged wire, typically brass or copper, to cut through conductive materials. Without physically touching the workpiece, the process relies on sparks to erode material along a precise path. Controlled by advanced computer systems, this method achieves intricate cuts, sharp corners, and tight tolerances, making it ideal for hardened materials and detailed patterns.
Common Applications for Wire EDM:
-
- Cutting tools and dies
- Medical implants
- Aerospace components
- Intricate molds
- Small, precise gears
Die Sinker EDM
Die Sinker EDM, also known as Ram EDM, uses a custom-shaped electrode, usually made from graphite or copper, to erode material through electrical discharges. Unlike Wire EDM, the electrode’s shape defines the cut, making this method ideal for cavities, undercuts, and features in hard or brittle materials.
Common Applications for Die Sinker EDM:
-
- Mold cavities for plastic injection molding
- Detailed features in dies and punches
- Intricate 3D shapes in hard materials
- Engraving and texturing
Benefits of EDM Machining
-
- Extreme Precision: Achieves tolerances as tight as ±0.0001 inches.
- Material Versatility: Handles hardened materials, conductive metals, and alloys.
- No Physical Contact: Reduces mechanical stress, minimizing deformation risks.
- Complex Shapes: Perfect for intricate designs and small, delicate features.
