Wire Erosion is carried out on Charmilles Robofil
machines capable of handling workpieces up to 510mm
in height, 2.5 tonnes in weight with 700 x 400mm cutting
area. Workpieces around 1 metre square can accommodated.
The latest technology in Wire EDM is employed with
our Robofil 6030SI surface integrity generator machine,
which eliminates the 'white layer' and 'recast layer'
in critical processes like Aerospace component machining.
We have considerable expertise in many fields of engineering
and tooling, particularly Aerospace, F1 Motor Racing,
Plastic Mould and Extrusion as well as Perforation,
Lamination and Press Tools. Besides being a precision
service in it's own right, our Wire Erosion can be used
in conjunction with our Jig Grinding and/or CNC Jig
Grinding operation.
For example, a tool or component can be cut into shape
using wire erosion, and all or part of a profile or
contour can be finished to very accurate limits by jig
grinding.
We also offer Small Hole burning on our SH2 fast hole
burning machine. It is not only small, but fast and
accurate as well. It will burn from 0.3mm to 3.0mm diameter
without deviation through a thickness of 240mm
which is ideal for producing wire start holes in hard
or soft materials, and for air, vacuum or lubrication
holes or for identification tags. It is also useful
for removing broken drills and taps etc. |
