Capabilities of Wire EDM: Part 2

Carl Sommer, president of Reliable EDM, demonstrates the unique capabilities of wire EDM. At his company they can wire EDM parts up to 62 inches tall and weighing 10,000 pounds. Sommer shows various tall parts that have been EDM with their modified machines, production EDM, burr free machining, single hole cavity, and the amazing accuracy of wire EDM.
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining has revolutionized machining. Things that were once impossible to machine are now being done with wire EDM. With wire EDM we can cut any conceivable shape up to 45 degrees taper with accuracies of +/-.0001".
Any electrically conductive material can be machined with EDM, even tungsten carbide. An added benefit of wire EDM is that exotic alloys can be machined just as easily as mild steel. Since the wire electrode never comes into contact with the metal, wire EDM is a stress-free machining process.
Sommer, is the president of the largest EDM job shop in North America. He has also co-authored with his son Steve, a mechanical engineer, Complete EDM Handbook. The handbook is free at their website.
