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” ...

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 ...

They say that if you have a lathe, you have every other machine tool too. To some degree, that’s true — you can make almost anything on a lathe, including another lathe, and even parts best made on ...

If you’ve ever short-circuited a car battery, you’ve seen the pitting and damage a few sparks can cause. Smart minds realised that controlled sparks could erode metal very accurately, in a process now ...

GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS developed its next-generation CUT S 400 Dedicated wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) to increase flexibility and reduce maintenance in the production aerospace jet-engine ...

GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS’ patented CUT AM 500 horizontal wire EDM technology was developed specifically for additive-manufactured component separation, for example in production of medical implants and ...

Linear motion components provide the foundation for smooth axis movement on a machine tool. Here are factors to consider when choosing machines with linear motion components that are durable and ...

Wire EDM differs from traditional machining because it does not rely on physical cutting tools. Instead, a thin electrically charged wire creates controlled sparks that erode metal. There is no direct ...
