Today, wire EDM is providing the most economical solution for manufacture of Dies, Punches and special tools required in almost all the engineering industries. Often, Wire EDM is found to be the only solution for parts, which are extremely difficult or Impossible to handle with any other method of machining. Now, the same process is found to be Ideally suited for manufacture of micro components. These products require very high surface finish, profile accuracy and smallest possible radius In the corners. With the continuous refinement and innovations in the technology, the design of the machine, the spark generator and the operation software the Micro finish and Micro Wire EDMs have been developed. This paper gives the main features of the Micro Finish & Micro wire EDM and the some of the parts machined on this type of machine, which give insight to the use of this type of machine In precision manufacturing.

Abstract


Today, wire EDM is providing the most economical solution for manufacture of Dies, Punches and special tools required in almost all the engineering industries. Often, Wire EDM is found to be the only solution for parts, which are extremely difficult or Impossible to handle with any other method of machining. Now, the same process is found to be Ideally suited for manufacture of micro components. These products require very high surface finish, profile accuracy and smallest possible radius In the corners. With the continuous refinement and innovations in the technology, the design of the machine, the spark generator and the operation software the Micro finish and Micro Wire EDMs have been developed. This paper gives the main features of the Micro Finish & Micro wire EDM and the some of the parts machined on this type of machine, which give insight to the use of this type of machine In precision manufacturing.
