Merits Of California Wire EDM

By Jennifer King


The electrical discharge devices have replaced traditional ways of cutting and designing materials in the manufacturing industries. This device is made up of a tiny metallic strand. The strands which are a good electric conductor with the material are collectively submerged into water. When a small space is maintained between the component and the strand, a high voltage is released through the strand producing a lot of heat that heats a small part of the component. This technique is repeated for several times depending on the plan required. Below are details of the merits of California wire EDM.

Effective and accurate. Compared to other forms of cutting techniques like flame cutting and laser cutting, spark eroding machines can cut metals like semiconductors, alloys, and even plastic. Adding to that, it can be used to cut complex parts like corners and odd angles. It also maintains a very narrow space between the estimated size and the actual size. This is because the entire process is computerized and duplication is possible by saving duplicate images in their system.

Cost effective. The machine eliminates instances of waste since it allows very tight tolerance, unlike other devices which require wide tolerance leading to wastage of materials. Moreover, this mechanism requires less maintenance because there are no cleaning of the cut area or greasing to prevent damage or rusting. Further, it requires minimal workforce since it is fast.

Can cut hardened metals and part. While cutting hard metals like alloyed, hardened steels or superconductors it is required to maintain a wide allowance for the materials are hard to cut but using the EDM mechanism less tolerance is maintained. One does not vary the cutting strands since the hardness of the material that is being designed do not determine their effectiveness.

Effortless. Oddly, spark machinery requires no physical contact between the material and the wire strand but only requires maintenance of narrow distance between the component and the metal strand hence no physical strength is applied. Similarly, while making plans of the latter, it only depends on the designer control of a device rather than having physical contact with the component. Besides, the spark machinery can be used to make a design on fragile materials.

Saves one time. Typical devices consumed a lot of time in using them. Nonetheless, the wire EDM device requires just a few time with an estimate many processes per second way much faster than human capabilities. Also, while making intricate designs, the sparking machinery does not require one to be keen as compared to the traditional devices.

Design flexibility. The EDM machine can accommodate any design required by their user. The schemes are configured into the device system and when working on other different components required to have similar scheme the user only requires to refer to the previously saved plans.

Can cut multiple parts. The spark ending machinery is capable of cutting through a stack of the product being manufactured in the same manner without putting each piece one after the other. They will cut these pieces with precision leaving no blur edges but will wear out the strand requiring to be replaced.
