About EDM Machining Services

EDM machining services remove metal by burning instead of cutting or grinding. There are three basic types of electro discharge machining (EDM) operations: electrode EDM, wire EDM, and small-hole EDM. Electrode EDM or die-sinking uses an electrode to burn a desired shape into a workpiece. By contrast, wire EDM burns the workpiece with a very thin wire. Small-hole EDM uses a small, hollow electrode which spins about a spindle much like a drill and drill bit. Dielectric flushes through the electrode, providing a controlled environment for the spark to jump to the workpiece and create very small pockets. In turn, these combined microscopic pockets create a small hole. Small-hole EDM is similar to drilling, but provides very low machining residue.

Products & Services Related to EDM Machining Services

Centerless Grinding Services

Centerless grinding services perform a machining operation in which an abrasive wheel grinds metal from a bar surface while a regulating wheel forces the bar against the grinding wheel.

CNC Machining Services

CNC machining services use fast, repeatable, and programmable machines which can function while unattended in order to manufacture parts quickly and efficiently.

Lapping Services

Lapping services uses a free abrasive machining process, which produces finished components without introducing stresses and heat damage associated with other processes.

Laser Machining Services

Laser machining services use computer-controlled lasers to perform a variety of material removal processes. These lasers can be positioned and controlled with a high degree of accuracy, allowing for a variety of effects to be achieved.

Plastic Machining Services

Plastic machining services fashion or fabricate parts and components out of various plastic and thermoplastic materials.

Precision Grinding Services

Precision grinding services perform operations such as centerless grinding, creep feed grinding, double-disc grinding, internal grinding, external grinding, jig grinding, surface grinding, and thread grinding.

Water Jet Machining and Abrasive Machining Services

Water jet machining services and abrasive machining services direct a jet of water and abrasive at the material to be machined.
