Precision Electrical Discharge Machining
CNC Wire EDM Machines
Precision machining solutions for producing complex profiles in electrically conductive materials using a CNC-controlled wire electrode.
CNC Wire EDM machines remove material through controlled electrical discharges between a moving wire electrode and an electrically conductive workpiece. This non-contact process supports the production of complex profiles without direct mechanical cutting forces.
Machine selection depends on the workpiece material, dimensions, required tolerances, surface finish, taper requirements and production volume. Explore more CNC machine solutions or send your part drawing for a technical selection review.
What is CNC Wire EDM?
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining uses a thin wire as an electrode. The CNC system guides the wire along a programmed path while controlled electrical discharges remove material from the workpiece.
The process requires an electrically conductive workpiece. The exact material grade, cutting conditions and achievable results must be verified against the selected machine model.
Suitable applications
- Dies and mould components
- Punches and precision tooling
- Parts with complex profiles
- Components requiring narrow internal features
- Jobs involving hard, electrically conductive materials
- Straight and taper-cut profiles, where supported by the selected model
How to select the right Wire EDM machine
- 1. Define the workpiece material and its electrical conductivity.
- 2. Provide the part drawing, overall dimensions and cutting thickness.
- 3. Specify the required tolerances and surface finish.
- 4. Confirm straight-cut and taper-cut requirements.
- 5. Define the expected production volume and operating pattern.
- 6. Review axis travels, workpiece capacity, wire system and control features.
- 7. Confirm electrical supply, dielectric system, site and maintenance requirements.
Information required for technical selection
- Manufacturer and model under consideration
