Wire Cutting Machine

The wire cutting machine works by sending a current between the wire and the workpiece, causing millions of sparks to fly. Therefore, this sparking generates heat, about 15,000 degrees Fahrenheit—enough to melt away microscopic bits of the workpiece, creating fine cuts and intricate shapes.Wire EDM machine uses a metallic wire (electrode) to cut a programmed contour in a workpiece. Extrusion dies and blanking punches are very often machined by wire cutting. In the machining area, each discharge creates a crater in the workpiece (material removal) and an impact on the tool (wear of the tool/electrode).CNC Wire EDM utilizes a fine, electrically charged metal wire usually made of brass, to cut through the work piece while submerged in a tank of deionized water. The moving wire erodes any conductive material that is within . 0005” of its path, while the deionized water cools and flushes away debris from the cut.
