There have been major advancements in the way that machining is done. One of the most important is known as wire electrical discharge machining or EDM. The technology has developed to the point where it provides higher accuracy and fewer restrictive conditions.
There are a number of reasons why using a wire EDM shop can make sense for your business. Here are a few of the major advantages to be gained from this process.
Improved Efficiency
Without a doubt, one of the biggest advantages of using a wire EDM shop is that it can deliver superior efficiency. Having an experienced engineer on site, projects involving wire EDM can ensure that both setup and completion take far less time.
Wire EDM is also capable of creating higher tolerance parts that don’t have deformation or burrs, which cuts down on production by another step. All of this saves valuable money and time during the production process.
Wider Processing Range
Another great thing about using a wire EDM shop is that it can cut just about any hardness of conductive metals pretty easily. Even some of the harder metals like tungsten and molybdenum can be cut easily.
With a wider range of processes comes a wider range of job capabilities. Being able to broaden those capabilities can open your business up to a broader range of customers, creating more business opportunities than may have existed without the help of the wire EDM process.
