Merits 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.

Effectiveness and accuracy. The sparking machinery can cut materials like alloys, superconductor and semiconductor materials compared to other devices like flame and laser cutters. Odd angles and corners which are complicated in nature can be easily worked on while using this device. Moreover, narrow allowances are maintained, and duplicates can be made since the entire process is computerized and similar images are saved for future use.

Reduces the expenses in usage by allowing minimal tolerance, this device reduces wastage as compared to other devices which require wide allowance due to human errors. Their inadequacy of cleaning up the cut parts and greasing to prevent corrosion reduces the maintenance costs of products. All the same less workforce is required since the machines are dissolute.

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.

Needs less effort. Tradition devices depended on human effort for their use and had physical contact between the devices and the component. Contradictory, with the spark machinery there is no direct contact between the component and the wire strands hence the process requires no effort at all. Nevertheless, this device can be used in designing components prone to damage.

Saves on time. The EDM operates at high functions per second putting it at an advantage over other tradition machines which depends on human effort and how fast they operate. Nonetheless, in the attempts to make small intentions over the components, dependency on human concentration is quite slow as compared to spark machinery.

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.

It handles numerous components at the same time. The EDM machine can cut through stacked materials all at the same time with similar precision on each component. Thus, the need to put each piece each at its own time is not required at all. Nevertheless, the device will leave no blurs on the component but will erode it having it to be changed.
