Wire EDM Machining

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.
