What is a wire EDM?
A wire EDM is a machine that cuts metals using a wire as thin as a hair (non-contact cutting). Metals are fuse-cut by electric power (heat generated from electrical discharges like lightning).

Why not machining parts using wire EDM?
Wire EDM features various advantages:
- Able to easily cut very fine shapes like a thin slit.
- Able to easily cut quenched metals, in addition to difficult-to-cut hard materials and viscous materials.
- Even a single wire can cut any shape, including curves and complex shapes. Changing or re-clamping tools is not necessary.
- Un-manned operation is possible as the machine runs according to the NC program, enabling you to perform other operations while the machine is running or long periods of unmanned operation during the night.
