WIRE EDM
Introduction to Wire EDM
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (Wire EDM) is a sophisticated and precise manufacturing process used for cutting and shaping materials that are otherwise challenging to machine. At Almar Tools, our Wire EDM services are designed to cater to the needs of industries requiring intricate designs and high tolerances.
How Wire EDM Works
Wire EDM uses a thin, electrically charged wire as an electrode to erode the material along a programmed path. This process occurs in a bath of deionized water, which cools the material and flushes away debris. Key features include:
No Physical Contact: Prevents deformation and ensures precision.
High Precision: Ideal for intricate designs and tight tolerances.
Material Versatility: Works with hard, exotic, and delicate materials.
Complex Geometries: Perfect for creating complex shapes and narrow slots.
