In wire electrical discharge machining wedm also known as wire cut edm and wire cutting a thin single strand metal wire usually brass is fed through the workpiece submerged in a tank of dielectric fluid typically deionized water.
Wire cut edm machine diagram.
Wire edm process diagram typical uses for wire edm.
Wire electrical discharge machining wedm uses a metallic wire to cut or shape a workpiece often a conductive material with a thin electrode wire that follows a precisely programmed path.
The hybrid µedm dt110 developed in singapore as shown in fig.
Wire cut edm is typically used to cut plates as thick as 300mm and to make punches tools and dies from hard metals that are difficult to machine with other.
Dies for moulding stamping extrusion and forging.
Cutting and shaping of metals and conducting ceramics that are difficult to shape in any other way.
Because the electrical discharge erodes by the wire and the workpiece wire edm machines use a spool of wire that s continuously moving to present a fresh discharge path in the cut.
The upv 3 wire edm machine was designed to produce the ultimate in precision machining while achieving ultra fine surface finishes.
Wire edm is also known as.
Aircraft and medical parts.
8 2 3 is a three axis hybrid machining center which combines micromilling turning edm wire edm wire electrical discharge grinding and grinding processes on single machine bed the strokes of the x y and z axes are 200 mm 100 mm and 100 mm respectively.
