Electrostatic Discharge Machining (EDM) Wire Cutting machines utilise an electrified metallic wire to cut a CNC programmed path. This process is able to produce extreme accuracy and very sharp internal and external corners and edges with very high surface finishes. This makes EDM wire cutting popular for extrusion dies and blanking punches. Comparative Cut Finish Guide With this process, cutting is always through the entire workpiece and to start machining it is first necessary to drill a hole in the workpiece or start from the edge. The wire can be inclined making it possible to make parts with taper or with different profiles at the top and bottom. There is never any mechanical contact between the electrode and workpiece. The wire is usually made of brass or stratified copper and is between 0.1 and 0.3 mm dia. |
WaterJet cutting uses a specialised cutting nozzle connected to a high pressure water pump. The water which is mixed with an abrasive additive is ejected from the nozzle in a fine jet at extremely high pressure making it able to cut through many different material types and thicknesses easily without any heat effects. Unlike Laser and Plasma Cutting, WaterJet cutting does not produce any burrs or rough edges and almost always eliminates the need for other machining operations such as finishing sanding and grinding. Comparative Cut Finish Guide This technology is especially useful for cutting tool steel and other metals where excessive heat may change the properties of the material. |
CNC routing can machine rigid and semi rigid materials using a choice of a wide selection of specialised high speed rotating cutting tools suited to the material and the required profile. Our modern machinery can operate simultaneously in three axes of motion to create three dimensional surfaces for moulds or finished products in addition to machining in two axes simultaneously to create shapes out of flat materials. Comparative Surface Finish Guide This technology is routinely used for industrial applications involving production of intricate steel components as well as domestic purposes including furniture making. |
