 We manufacture complex, 4-Axis tapers to the simple stacked
production pieces that require overnight burns. Our EDM hole
popper along with our 3R Tooling and a complete support shop
of 25,000 sq ft, allow us to quickly begin burning almost anything
with a minimum amount of setup time.
The extrusion liner seen here was made with a 10 inch tall
piece of A-2 which we first drilled and tapped, heat treated,
and ground inhouse. After completing the EDM wiring of the
product, we indicated each side, then ran the indicator down
the 10 inch long piece which left the indicator virtually
motionless. Our horizontal mills could not have machined
it without movement and twisting of the part in heat treating,
not to mention the greater cost
Next, the 5-Axis piece was the result of a complex, thirty
degree tapered part that had to have this slug machined out
of the complex part for speed and ease of completion.
More common jobs include keyways, slots, intricate
profiles stacked for production, and thinner/thicker pieces
(from tinfoil to 16 inches thick!) requiring the unique abilities
of the versatile Wire EDM. |
