I burned a 3 " thick piece of aluminum once that appeared as the number 1 on the top guide, while the bottom guide was cutting the number 2. Quite the transition! Wire EDM has totally changed the stamping die industry. It made it possible for shop owners to dumb down the trade. Tool and Die makers now days don't recieve the knowledge transfer they used to.
yeah everyone is getting dumber thats why everything we build is becoming more advanced.....the fact is the knowledge that you value is worthless in the current time.
I've worked on parts measured in microns, needless to say things can get frustrating. Had a few parts that required a microscope and a special computerized table (imagine a really tiny milling machine with a camera in place of a cutter, and the part goes on the table, then you set the camera crosshair over a datum feature and zero the software, then move the table to the features you want to measure with the feed handles, except the table only has one inch of XY travel and is graduated in microns) to measure them. You should see some of the nano structures scientists have made, they can literally print parts atom by atom now, though it's quite a laborious process. Humans have come a long way in the field of precision...
Thank you for this video, it was very educational. I sell aluminum and stainless steel to shops like your, so I have hundreds, if not thousands of wire EDM machines. But I could never understand exactly what was going on under the water!
Hi you guys are great! Sir! you did mention carbide in this video. I would like to know if it cuts through poly crystal diamond (PCD) insert like the one we use for cutting in cnc machines.
You can WEDM PCD inserts, since you aren't cutting the PCD itself but the cobalt binder. The diamond crystals just fall out. Same with tungsten carbide.
Agradecería si hay algún tipo de curso o un programa que explique la creación de los perfiles de corte,estoy aprendiendo en un charmilles robofil 510 y por ahí aprender a bases más de retos o solo que me digan todo lo que puede salir mal,creo que es más que obvio que me enseñen a poder usarla mejor de lo que ya funcióna la máquina.
That is a great question. Through a series of rollers, the machine has the ability to vary the tension on the wire and can easily pull it straight to make accurate cuts. Thanks for your reply.
Not really, a standard milling machine would to more. Wire edm is for end to end straight lines whilst a handgun slide would have too many areas that would not allow the wire to go through.
Hello sir, nice video. Can we use alternate dielectric fluid instead of water with this wire EDM? And secondly here wire is being used as tool, can other tools be used instead of wire in this machine?
Hello. Which machines/processes does WMP use for inspection of EDM parts? I'm a CMM programmer, and I utilize a Zeiss Prismo Ultra. It has proven extremely reliable for close toleranced parts, up to .00005".
Jeff, while we do utilize our CMM’s at times for Wire EDM inspection, most of our work is checked using gage blocks, gage pins and other measuring devices to facilitate inspection while parts are still in the machine.
The precision of a part cut using WEDM will not matter if the material is hardened or still soft. However, if you harden the finished part after WEDM you may find changes in the precision. Thanks for asking!

Strange. I thought wire EDM worked like a scaled down, but seriously over powered mig welder. Kind of like feeding the wire onto the surface of the workpiece to zap a tiny little trench of erosion craters, then going around again, zapping the bottom of those craters to get a little deeper. I didn't realise it could work like a high tech hot wire cutter that spark erodes along the entire depth of cut in one pass.
In a way, yeah, or like a plasma gouger - melt the material and carry away the melt pool before any part of the electrode can deposit. Just a whole lot more precise, haha.

It really is a powerful tool that has assisted our company in many ways, especially when making progressive dies!
@@WisconsinMetalParts can one machine drill the holes then cut the shape
yeah everyone is getting dumber thats why everything we build is becoming more advanced.....the fact is the knowledge that you value is worthless in the current time.
Wire EDM is by far the coolest machine I've seen in the shop I work in. I don't run one but it's the one I'd like to learn the most.
Thank you! This video helped me for an exam I had on wire EDM!
Fantastic video, thanks a lot for taking the time to make it
*Great video & great explanation. Thanks for not talking down to the viewer like most of the hosts of manufacturing and machining videos!*
Thank you! We are glad you found the video helpful
I always thought a half a thou was as tight as things could get. 50 mil tolerance blows my mind....

So cool! I never new of this process before!
what does it cost to cut a piece like you hold in your hand at 2:30 , if i give you the metal?
Hi you guys are great! Sir! you did mention carbide in this video. I would like to know if it cuts through poly crystal diamond (PCD) insert like the one we use for cutting in cnc machines.
Only metal
You can WEDM PCD inserts, since you aren't cutting the PCD itself but the cobalt binder. The diamond crystals just fall out. Same with tungsten carbide.
any advice or comments on how to treat or dispose of the deionized water?
Thanks ,after four channels i can explain it to my wife now

I so want to invest in this . It is so going to change everything in the crafting world an etc.
So there is possible to cut graphite? And other non metallic conductive things?
Yes, certain grades of graphite are conductive and can be cut using the WEDM method.
How do you get the natural bend out of the wire off the spool. To get those kinds of tolerances even the smallest bend would have an impact
That is a great question. Through a series of rollers, the machine has the ability to vary the tension on the wire and can easily pull it straight to make accurate cuts. Thanks for your reply.
This is new technology especially in my country but I would like to learn much about it but how can I get my hands on?
Is the wire unspooling throughout the job or the same length of wire is used until completion then a new length spooled in for the next job?
DIY ECM not EDM question, is it possible with a 3d printed copper plated electrode to machine a handgun slide?
Not really, a standard milling machine would to more. Wire edm is for end to end straight lines whilst a handgun slide would have too many areas that would not allow the wire to go through.
thanks, dave!

Very cool. Thank you.
Hello sir, nice video. Can we use alternate dielectric fluid instead of water with this wire EDM? And secondly here wire is being used as tool, can other tools be used instead of wire in this machine?
Absolutely NO!
There are EDM processes that use EDM "punches" or tools instead of wire. Anything conductive would work as a tool.
Hi sir, may I know how to centering the wire start hole after drill? thank you
This intrigued me. I fear the price for this service
Yeah we let make extrusion nozzle by this way.. one 30cm peace cost App 5000eur
Does this work with aluminum? Or if not, what material can be used for a heat sink if cut with EDM?
It's a bit more tricky and requires more flushing but it can be EDM cut fine.
@@evilutionltd cool, thank you. this is good to know about.
Thanks for this video!👍🇩🇪
We are glad you enjoyed it!
Does it require any program learning?
7:35 COPPER WIRE?
Tell me please, does the wire feed while working or stops and feed and continue after?
And if it deos feed while working, it does closed loop?
Thank you for your question! The wire is a continuous feed while machining. The wire is a one-time use and gets recycled after machining.

Yeah, that's cool and all, but can you do metric? Heard a lot of imperial units in there.
So it can only do 2 dimensional patterns on 3 dimensionalnparts
... HEY! Yourself Dave... Im Ready To Learn... Cheers For The Enjoyment... 🏴🖖🤔
Super freaking cool!
Could you fit a Wire EDM in a battle bot?
it'd probably be too slow for combat
What if you work on metal piece without hardening it first? Does it affect the precision?
The precision of a part cut using WEDM will not matter if the material is hardened or still soft. However, if you harden the finished part after WEDM you may find changes in the precision. Thanks for asking!
Can you please suggest some names of the fluids that we can use in Wire EDM instead of deinonized water???
I would suggest getting in touch with your machine manufacturer to see what is possible.
