CNC machine shops have a plethora of tools at their disposal such as milling machines, cutting machines, lathes and so on. However, the best machine shops also have a CNC wire EDM, a device that uses electricity to cut through a piece of metal. Its basic principles and workings were already addressed in the previous blog. In this blog, the focus is on the advantages of the process.
Conventional cutting tools often struggle with complex shapes and dimensions. However, with CNC EDM cutting, this problem is eliminated altogether.
Another benefit of this type of machining is the ability to quickly process stainless steel alloys and other similar materials, without creating roughness on the surface. Therefore, it can eliminate the need for finishing and improve the manufacturing process.
Processing parts with close tolerances is a staple in adept CNC machining shops. Wire EDM is one of the best ways to accomplish this as the process is done electrically.
For certain types of delicate metals, the major challenge is to process them without causing any damage, a task that is highly challenging for conventional cutting tools. This is quite a simple task for EDM cutting, as the cutting tool and workpiece don’t make contact during the process. This, combined with close tolerance finishes and minimal need for buffing makes EDM one of the processes used in CNC machining shops.
Due to the following advantages, CNC wire EDM manufacturing is used in a wide variety of industries such as mold and die manufacturing, the aerospace sector, manufacturing of medical devices and electronics and much more.
