Wire EDM Companies In Ohio (OH) and Nearby States
The following is a comprehensive list of wire edm companies that serve Ohio. Wire EDM uses fine metallic wire as a cutting electrode to machine intricate parts from thick metal plates. Wire EDMs work by supplying power to both the wire as well as work piece, thus creating an electrical potential between them. When the wire is brought close to the work piece, current discharges or sparks occur between them. These sparks gradually remove the material from the work piece, while the wire is constantly fed into the work piece to ensure continuous cutting. Wire used in wire EDMs is commonly made from brass and fed into the work piece from a spool, through guides placed above and below the work piece. The guides are movable in a 2-axis plane and generally CNC controlled to achieve the desired shape. The work piece is completely immersed in a tank of dielectric fluid, which in most cases, is de-ionized water also used to flush away cut material, as well as act as a coolant. This process is typically used to cut thick metal plates to make various parts, including punches, tools, as well as dies from hard materials such as titanium and tool steel.
