Wire EDM
Sharp-cornered profiles and die parts in hardened tool steel.
Wire EDM applies no cutting force, so thin-walled and hardened parts are cut without distortion. Punches, dies and gear profiles come out at final size after heat treatment.
Limits
- Working envelope
- 400 × 300 × 250 mm
- Taper cutting
- ±15° (at 100 mm height)
- Tolerance
- ±0.005 mm
- Surface roughness
- Ra 0.4 µm
What we do
- Punches, dies and tooling inserts
- Profiles with inside corner radii down to 0.1 mm
- Taper cuts and different top and bottom profiles
- Cutting to final size after heat treatment
