We recently purchased a Sodick Wire Electric Discharge Machine (EDM) for use in our Tool and Die Shop. EDM is the highest resolution cutting process that we have. Typical accuracies are +/-.0001".
Wire EDM machining is a process used to cut through metal using a wire submersed in deionized water. Electricity is run through the wire, resulting in an electrical charge that burns through even the hardest of metals. The table and top and bottom arms are made of ceramics which has unrivaled insulating properties.
