Advantages Of California Wire EDM

By Jennifer King


The tradition way of cutting and designing manufacture product has been replaced with wire Electrical Discharge Machine. It consists of metal strands which are thin. The strand which is an electrical conductor is submerged in water together with the work-piece. High voltage is released as the distance between the wire and work-piece is minimal, heating a small part of the work piece. The process is repeated for sometimes depending on the plan required. The following are the advantages of California wire EDM.

They are effective and accurate. While compared to other machines like the flame and laser cutter the spark machinery is capable of working on alloys, semiconductors, and superconductor materials. Even difficult parts and odd angles that pose difficulty to work on the EDM machine are capable of working on them. Nevertheless, it is used to maintain a narrow working variation necessary for precision. The computerization of the machine has made it possible to achieve all these.

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 cut hardened metals and part. While cutting hard metals like alloyed, hardened steels or superconductors it is required to maintain a wide allowance for the materials are hard to cut but using the EDM mechanism less tolerance is maintained. One does not vary the cutting strands since the hardness of the material that is being designed do not determine their effectiveness.

Effortless. Oddly, spark machinery requires no physical contact between the material and the wire strand but only requires maintenance of narrow distance between the component and the metal strand hence no physical strength is applied. Similarly, while making plans of the latter, it only depends on the designer control of a device rather than having physical contact with the component. Besides, the spark machinery can be used to make a design on fragile materials.

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.

Flexible to any intention. The spark machinery can accommodate any plan. The designer does not require putting intentions on every component they are working in, but only requires configuring the schemes to the different elements. Also, it is capable of ensuring consistency of allowance with the product being manufactured despite the design.

Combined operation. The spark end device is capable of cutting through stacked materials with the same intentions without leaving any endings at the edge. Hence one does not need to work on one piece after the other where many similar components are required.
