CNC EDM (Electrical Discharge Machine)
CNC EDM (Electrical Discharge Machine) Introduction: A CNC EDM (Electrical Discharge Machine) is a high-precision metal machining tool that uses electrical sparks to shape hard metals . Unlike traditional cutting tools, EDM removes material through controlled electrical discharges, making it ideal for complex, detailed, or delicate metal parts . What is CNC EDM? CNC EDM stands for Computer Numerical Control Electrical Discharge Machining . It uses a spark erosion process where a series of rapid electrical sparks occur between an electrode and the workpiece. These sparks melt and vaporize the metal at microscopic levels, achieving extremely precise cuts and shapes. Main Components: Power Supply Unit: Generates electrical discharges. Electrode (Tool): The conductor that shapes the metal. Workpiece: The metal part being machined. Dielectric Fluid: Acts as an insulator and coolant. CNC Controller: Manages spark timing and tool movement. How It Works: Th...
