Wire EDM Machining

South Shore Manufacturing specializes in Wire EDM Machining services, a capability that can effectively remove or cut materials from a substrate. Our focus is precision wire cutting EDM, an exceptionally accurate machining method that can achieve optimal results using thermal energy on stiff, more rigid materials that traditional tooling cannot handle.

What is Wire EDM Machining?

Wire EDM Machining, also known as WEDM, wire-cut EDM, wire cutting, EDN cutting, EDM wire cutting, wire burning, wire erosion, wire eroding, and “cheese-cutter” EDM.

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a metal fabrication process that uses an electrically charge wire to cut and/or shape a conductive workpiece.

How WIRE EDM Works

A thin wire electrode is fed under tension and a voltage is applied through it. The wire crosses a dielectric liquid and strikes the grounded workpiece. The workpiece is moved to trace a cut pattern. The wire is rapidly charged to a desired voltage, causing a spark to jump the gap and melt a small portion of the workpiece. The deionized water cools and flushes away small particles.

Benefits of Using WEDM

WEDM can produce precise cut lines and small chips by melting or vaporizing the material. It can machine parts that are unsuitable for conventional machining techniques. WEDM can cut through thick or thin metals with tight tolerances and produces high quality surface finishes.

Common Applications of Wire Cutting EDM

We employ our wire EDM services to manufacture high-performance and accurate outcomes for numerous applications seamlessly and in the most demanding industries.

Some examples are as follows:

• Medical devices: Fine wire EDM is used to manufacture implants and other everyday medical devices and instrumentations.
• Aerospace components: This industry uses hard and thick metals, which is difficult to machine. Fortunately, our wire cutting service can cut through these materials with high accuracy and zero distortions.
• Prototype manufacturing: EDM machining services are easy to set up with minimal preparations. It’s an ideal capability for prototype production, especially for pre-production.
• Firearms: Firearm production requires higher accuracy due to its incredibly complex geometries. They also have extremely tight tolerances and need a machining process to deliver clear-cut results. Our precision wire EDM service can accomplish these outcomes while ensuring there are no errors in the end product.
