Benefits 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 be used to cut hardened materials and parts with ease. Wide allowances are required to cut pieces of alloys, semiconductors or superconductors. However, the use of the spark machinery only requires very narrow allowance since they are very effective. Besides, there is no variation of the strands being used because the effectiveness of it does not change according to the material of a product.

Requires no effort. Ironically, while using spark ending mechanism, there is no contact between the material and the strand. This compared to the traditional methods like flame heating, and plasma cutting will require no effort at all. Notably, this invention only requires computer control making it effortless in usage. Further, their use can be applied to fragile materials as well.

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.
