Wire EDM

At Cer-Mac Inc., our team of machining experts can help you with wire EDM and wire EDM machining using the highest-quality EDM machines. Our wire EDM manufacturing team will sit down with you and identify the best wire EDM machining services for your company’s material needs.

 

We’ll start by identifying your wire EDM machining needs and decide whether you need our wire EDM cutting or RAM EDM spark machining process. Cer-Mac Inc. specializes in wire EDM machining Inconel 718 and other high nickel alloys that other ships won’t work with. We’re an OEM EDM metals company that stands apart from others due to our commitment to quality and service. Cer-Mac uses Wire EDM machining services for structurally complex metal parts.

 

Wire EDM is one of the most accurate manufacturing processes available for manufacturing metal parts and components with complex shapes. Wire EDM can be used to cut extremely hard metals (stainless steel, nickel base alloys such as Inconel, Monel, and many more) and parts with intricate shapes, internal corners, tapers, and complex angles. Small intricate shapes can be cut with superior accuracy (+/- 0.00015”)

 

Our broad and diversified knowledge has led us to success in Wire EDM machining.
Our machines utilize a non-contract, friction-free, round linear shaft motor system to drive the X & Y axis through an all-optical fiber servo.

Electrical Discharge Machining

Electrical discharge machining or EDM is a popular precision manufacturing process designed to help machine metals. This process is otherwise known as wire burning or wire erosion. It is a powerful process that uses specialized wire EDM manufacturing machines. Our team at Cer-Mac Inc. is an OEM EDM metals company that can satisfy any of your wire EDM machining needs.

 

Our team is fully trained in wire EDM manufacturing and can provide wire EDM machining services that fit your needs. We carefully remove material from the workpiece using electrical discharges. It avoids direct contact with the piece and ensures that we can carefully sculpt high-quality EDM metals that fit your overall machining needs. We have the best wire EDM capabilities in the field, and it is reflected in the quality of our services.

What is Wire EDM Machining & How Does it Work?

Our team at Cer-Mac Inc. understands wire EDM machining and will work hard to ensure that you get the precision machined parts that you need. Wire EDM machining uses carefully focused electrical currents in a protected liquid medium to cut away materials from your parts. It is popular because it lacks direct contact, meaning your EDM metals will not be left with scrapes or imperfections. Our wire EDM manufacturing capabilities are second to none.

 

It is the perfect process for machining structurally complex metal parts and is suitable for very hard metals. Common EDM metals include stainless steel and nickel-based alloys. Wire EDM cutting allows for very precise and accurate cuts along intricate corners, sharp tapers, and complex angles. We can wire cut through both the X and Y axis to produce high-quality cuts that meet your company’s needs.

 

At Cer-Mac Inc., we’re constantly looking for new and innovative cutting methods and striving to improve our cutting capabilities. Our team is fully certified and licensed to machine high-quality parts based on your specifications. We’ll work directly with you to ensure that you meet your production capabilities and will strive to consistently produce accurate and effective machined parts for your production needs.

Wire EDM Capabilities & Applications

Our Wire EDM capabilities include a maximum workspace of 41.3 by 32.3 by 12 inches, a maximum work weight of 3,307 pounds, and a maximum taper angle of 15 degrees at a 10.25-inch thickness. Our wire EDM machining services can cut with a corner radius as small as 0.003 inches.

Wire EDM services can be used in many fields and are particularly common in precision-based manufacturing for the aerospace and semiconductor industries. When done properly by a team of licensed experts like Cer-Mac Inc., wire machining provides many benefits, including:

Our wire EDM services also help to eliminate unnecessary burrs on your parts, which gives you a smooth and high-quality finish.

Wire EDM machining is among the most versatile precision manufacturing processes. It is quickly becoming the industry standard for machining incredibly precise machine components.  Wire EDM machining can be used for a wide variety of conductive materials such as OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), EDM metals, exotic supermetals, and even non-metallic conductive materials like graphite. 

 

With defect-free precision always in focus, our wire EDM machining processes at Cer-Mac are appropriate for EDM metals and materials like: 

 

  • Nickel Alloys
  • Aluminum 
  • Titanium 
  • Brass 
  • Steel 
  • Copper 
  • Tungsten Carbide
  • & Others

 

For a comprehensive material overview and comparison, our wire EDM machining experts are happy to help you determine the best materials and service options for your project. 

Even the best machining processes have limitations, and wire EDM machining is no exception. First, only materials that conduct electricity can be machined. Compared to other conventional machining options, wire EDM machining is more costly and complex to operate. 

 

Despite wire EDM’s capacity to support a broad range of material types, shapes, and depths, excessive material thickness can cause wire deflection and prolong the length of cutting time. With thicker material types, issues like tapering can also occur, diminishing dimensional accuracy and requiring a secondary finishing process to achieve the desired finish. 

 

Even with these few limitations, wire EDM machining remains a premier manufacturing option for a broad scope of project types. Standout machining benefits such as material preservation, ultra-hard material compatibility, and optimized part quality define every defect-free component produced by our wire EDM services at Cer-Mac.
