Using nothing but controlled electrical sparks, this machining process creates cuts and details that seem almost impossible.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process that discharges electric sparks from two electrodes on a metal sheet to detach the desired shape. Also called spark machining, it employs ...

HS-Rib technology reduces machining time, lowers electrode wear, and results in more uniform finishes for large sinker EDM processes 30x faster Z-axis acceleration Balancing electrode consumption, ...

A die sinking EDM machine allows machining of hardened steel without direct contact. This build focused on precision control and stable electrical discharge. Careful assembly ensured proper insulation ...

A lot has been accomplished in recent years to make wire EDM more efficient and reliable, but little has been done to make it faster. A big part of that limitation is just physics. A standard 0.010” ...

Just as practical nuclear fusion has been “only 20 years away” for the last 80 years or so, the promise of electrical discharge machining (EDM) in the home shop seems to always be just around the ...

Supplying aerospace manufacturers is always a matter of high precision and often a matter of high volume and repeatability. Beaumont Machine in Batavia, Ohio, has supplied multi-axis fast hole EDM ...

Kennametal’s KCU25B tooling proved durable enough for turn-peeling a lengthy austenitic stainless steel 1.4435 rotor while reducing cycle times.

Auburn Hills, Mich. — You know all about the Alexa voice assistant for your house. Now machine tool maker Makino Inc. is on the cutting edge of voice activation for industrial machinery. Makino now ...
