WIRE EDM MACHINING – PRECISION CUTTING FOR HARD MATERIALS
At Aarbakke Edge, we use Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) to achieve unmatched precision in toolmaking and component manufacturing. Our high-accuracy wire EDM system allows us to cut complex geometries in hardened materials - with tight tolerances, no mechanical stress, and a flawless finish.
WHAT IS WIRE EDM?
Wire EDM is a non-contact machining process that uses a thin electrically charged wire to cut through metal by means of rapid electrical discharges (sparks). The part and the wire are submerged in a dielectric fluid, which helps control the spark and flush away particles.
Unlike conventional milling or turning, Wire EDM does not rely on force or physical cutting — it erodes the material with precision-controlled sparks. This makes it the go-to method for materials that are too hard, delicate, or intricate for traditional methods.
WHY USE EDM?
-
Micron-Level Accuracy
Extremely tight tolerances for demanding applications — ideal for precision components and cutting tools. -
No Mechanical Stress
Perfect for delicate parts or thin-walled features where pressure would cause damage or distortion. -
Cuts Any Conductive Material
Hardened tool steel, carbide, titanium, and super alloys are no issue for Wire EDM. -
Complex Internal Geometries
Enables slots, keyways, sharp internal corners, and intricate profiles that milling simply can’t handle. -
Superior Surface Finish
EDM provides a clean, consistent finish — often eliminating the need for further machining or polishing.
