A lot has been accomplished in recent years to make wire EDM more efficient and reliable, but little has been done to make it faster. A big part of that limitation is just physics. A standard 0.010” ...
Electric discharge machining (EDM) may be slower than alternatives like laser cutting, water jets, or a milling machine, but for some applications there’s no alternative: it can cut through any ...
Cincinnati-based Clippard supplies valves and other high-precision components for industrial fluid control, and continues to operate as a vertically integrated manufacturing business, as it has been ...
GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS unveiled its new AgieCharmilles CUT P Pro series wire-cutting EDM machines at EMO Milano 2021, designed to increase productivity and availability for a range of applications.
A H80R.MAC high-speed rotary spindle and H1680.AC4 variable-speed ac controller, combined with wire-EDM equipment, make possible the production of parts to 0.002-in. diameter and surface finishes to ...
Just as practical nuclear fusion has been “only 20 years away” for the last 80 years or so, the promise of electrical discharge machining (EDM) in the home shop seems to always be just around the ...
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process that discharges electric sparks from two electrodes on a metal sheet to detach the desired shape. Also called spark machining, it employs ...
It’s not every day that industrial machining sends you into a fit of joy. But today could be that day. If you spend time on the internet, you might have come across GIFs of metal parts fitting ...
