EDM AND
EROSION
Filigree components.
Eroded with high-precision.
Where other technologies reach their limits due to complex geometries and material properties, electric discharge machining – or EDM for short – can score with outstanding dimensional accuracy and surface qualities.
We produce the finest contours, cuts and corner radii using EDM technology. Depending on the component requirements, we use two processes: wire erosion and EDM. With both technologies, we process electrically conductive materials, regardless of their hardness, with the highest precision.

Wire erosion
We manufacture extremely complex geometric shapes using the latest generation of wire erosion machines. Using erosion wires with wire diameters of 0.1 to 0.25 mm, we wire erode with an accuracy of ± 0.003 mm with surface qualities of up to Ra 0.1 – 0.2 and with the smallest corner radius of 0.07 mm.
An additional dividing head on our Agie Charmilles CUT 200 mS enables us to produce offset contours. The additional rotary axis results in an increased level of automation for cost-efficient component production.
Wire erosion – how it works
In wire erosion technology, the contour of the precision part to be machined is melted off with high precision using the finest brass wire. A spark forms between the erosion wire and the workpiece and it removes the material from the workpiece to be machined. The process takes place in a medium with a defined conductance (deionised water, synthetic oil).
Machining options
- Maximum machining size 550 x 350 x 400 mm
- Maximum achievable surface roughness: Ra 0,1 – 0,2
- Wire diameter between 0,1 and 0,25 mm
- Smallest possible corner radius of 0.07 mm
Application
- Prototype machining
- Single part production
- Small-batch production
EDM
Our automated EDM machines are designed for a variety of applications and have many machining functions. This ensures short cycle times and a flexible application when manufacturing individual parts. For small series, an automation system enables 24/7 operation.
EDM – how it works
EDM is also an erosion process, in which the shape of the workpieces to be machined is produced by an electrode. In EDM, the electrode represents the counterpart of the planned workpiece shape. The removal takes place in an electrically non-conductive – dielectric – fluid. The electrode and the workpiece are placed in a dielectric bath.
During EDM, there is no mechanical contact between the workpiece and the electrode at any point in time.
