Wire EDM

Wire EDM, or Wire Electrical Discharge Machining, is a cutting-edge technology that utilizes electrical discharges to precisely remove material. At Winslow Automatics, we leverage the power of this technology to deliver intricate and complex components with unmatched accuracy and efficiency.

The Sodick LM600: A Precision Powerhouse

Our state-of-the-art Sodick LM600 Wire EDM machine is at the heart of our wire EDM capabilities. This machine provides a range of features and benefits that include:

  • High-Speed Cutting: The LM600 has high cutting speeds, so the time taken to complete a project is reduced.

  • Remarkable Accuracy: The LM600 also features state-of-the-art control systems that make it very accurate and repeatable, thus guaranteeing that all the components produced are of high quality.

  • Versatility: The machine can work on a broad range of materials, such as hardened tool steels and exotic alloys.

  • Complex Geometry: The LM600 excels in cutting intricate shapes and contours, making it ideal for producing complex components.

  • Minimal Material Stress: Wire EDM is a non-contact machining process, which means there is minimal stress on the workpiece, reducing the risk of damage or distortion.

​

The Wire EDM Process

Wire EDM uses a thin wire electrode usually of brass or molybdenum which is fed through the workpiece during the process. An electrical arc is created between the wire and the workpiece and this results in localized melting and vaporization of the material. The wire electrode is accurately guided to move along the intended cutting path to produce complex geometries with high levels of precision.

Wire EDM Applications

Wire EDM is a versatile technology that can be applied in many industries. Some of the common applications include:

  • Aerospace: Manufacturing complex parts for aircraft engines, landing gears and other essential components.

  • Medical: Manufacturing of surgical instruments, implants and dental prosthetics.

  • Electronics: Manufacturing complex parts for electronics, including contacts, switches, and printed circuit boards.

  • Tool and Die: Manufacturing complex dies and molds for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics
