What’s a Wire EDM?

The simple definition of Wire EDM (also known as “spark EDM”) is machining by creating sparks in a thin metal wire by conducting electricity through de-ionized water, enabling the wire to cut through metal by using the heat from the sparks. Although the process sounds simple, Wire EDM produces amazing results!

 

Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is an example of how Toolmasters, Inc. stays in step with new technologies. Over the last 15 years, Wire EDM has grown exponentially in popularity and is today a standard machining technology. Toolmasters was one of the first shops in the Midwest to purchase and apply Wire EDM to die making.  We purchased our first machine over 30 years ago, in 1978.

Wire EDM is a major component in our die quality; Toolmasters applies Wire EDM to our dies wherever possible. Our Wire EDM services provide you with impressive benefits:

 Improved Quality: Wire EDM eliminates tool breakage. It can cut through extremely hard materials, such as Titanium and Carbide, process these extremely hard materials to close tolerances and achieve intricate shapes too difficult to produce with conventional cutting tools. Wire EDM cuts complex shapes and thin-walled configurations with no distortion and can additionally produce exceptionally fine finishes, even in rough cut.

Faster Completion TImes: Wire EDM replaces numerous grinding operations and produces a part that requires a minimun—often no need for time-consuming operations such as deburring or extra fixturing. Faster completion times result in reduced production costs. Toolmasters is the tool and die shop where quality still counts. In today’s tough economy, our Wire EDM services provide the muscle you need to lower production costs, shorten delivery times, and maintain the quality you expect. Contact us for a free quote.
