Uses and features of EDM wire cutting machine

Programming wire edm machine mainly uses an electrode wire made of moving
metal wire (molybdenum wire, copper wire or alloy wire) to generate pulse
electric spark discharge by the interaction of electrode wires, and the metal
melts or vaporizes under the action of high temperature, so as to produce slits
and cut parts.

1. Application of programming wire edm machine

① Processing mold.

② Machining parts with fine structure.

③ Processing hard conductive materials.

④ Trial produce new products, reduce production costs and shorten the cycle
of trial producing new products.

⑤ When cutting precious metals, reduce material loss and save processing
cost.

2. Machining characteristics of programming wire edm machine

① It is suitable for processing parts with small batch and complex switch,
and the cycle of processing single parts and trial products is short. Because
the metal removal rate of wire cutting is low, it is not suitable for machining
large quantities of parts with simple shape.

② In the machining process, the electrode wire does not directly contact the
workpiece, and the effect between them is very small. Therefore, the deformation
of the workpiece is small, and the electrode wire and fixture do not need too
high strength.

③ The electrode wire is 0.03 ~ 0.35 fine metal wire, which does not need
specific shape, and can save the design and manufacturing cost of the
electrode.

④ As long as it is conductor and semiconductor materials, it can ensure
high-precision machining with low loss of electrode wire without considering the
workpiece material.

⑤ Using water-based emulsion as working fluid has low cost. There will be no
flood.

⑥ Four axis linkage, easy to add different taper, upper and lower
special-shaped bodies and other mail.

⑦ Non conductive materials cannot be cut by programming wire edm machine.
