EDM Technology

Wire and sinker EDM enable the precise machining of complex contours, deep cavities, and filigree geometries. EDM technology offers significant advantages, particularly for hardened materials, tight tolerances, or sensitive structures.

Benefits

Customer Advantages

Wire and sinker EDM for filigree contours, deep cavities, hardened materials, and complex geometries.

  • Precise contours and cutouts
  • No mechanical cutting forces
  • High repeatability
  • Reduced rework due to near-process surface quality

Process

From Inquiry to Implementation

1

Inquiry & Task Clarification

The customer describes the component, tool, or problem and provides drawings, CAD data, or initial requirements.

2

Data Review & Feasibility

Technical documentation, tolerances, material, surfaces, and potential optimizations are reviewed.

3

Consultation & Coordination

Requirements, manufacturing path, project scope, and the most economical solution are coordinated.

4

Design & CAM

The tool, mold, or component is designed, and manufacturing steps are prepared digitally.

5

Production and Quality

Machining is carried out using appropriate processes and is secured through measurement and testing procedures.

6

Handover & Optimization

Following inspection, sampling, or documentation, the handover or optimization takes place.
