What is EDM (Electrical Discharge Machinery)? It is the process of electrically removing hard material from a conductive material. This is achieved by applying high-frequency, pulsed, DC current to the workpiece through (a) an electrode, (b) wire, or (c) a copper or brass tube, which melts and vaporizes the workpiece material (approximately 7,500 degrees), coupled with a servo-drive. An electrode never touches the workpiece but discharges it's current through an insulating dielectric fluid (water or oil) across a varying small spark gap. This spark vaporizes and melts the workpiece material. The servo-system controls this spark gap.
The following is a partial list of conditions that can be addressed with an EDM machine.
- Small interior radius
- Slight to extreme taper to part walls
- Virtually burr less machining
- Working with difficult hard materials and alloys
- Extreme accuracy to side wall and straightness in "thick" components
- Ability to cut submerged
- Fine surface finishes
- Four axis machining capability
