55 3 Profiting with Wire EDM（55 3与电火花获利）.pdf

55 3 Profiting with Wire EDM Users of Wire EDM Parts made with the wire EDM process are used for machining conductive materials for medicine, chemical, electronics, oil and gas, die and mold, fabrication, construction, automotive, aeronautics, space—virtually any place where electrically conductive materials are utilized. Benefits of Wire EDM A. Production Runs Because of the new generation of high-speed wire EDM machines, manufacturers increasingly are discovering that wire EDM produces many parts more economically than conventional machining. See Figure 3:1 and 2. An additional benefit with wire EDM is that close tolerances can be held without additional cost and without burrs. Figure 3:1 Production EDM: Todays high-speed wire EDM machines can produce many parts more economically and burr-free than with conventional machining.

Various Shapes and Sizes With wire EDM technology, any contour (Figure 3:3) and varying tapers can be machined precisely. Extremely thin sections can also be m
