Wire Erosion
Pemberton Engineering provides subcontract wire erosion (EDM machining) for complex parts, press tooling and precision components. We machine aluminium, titanium, nickel alloys and hardened steels, and wire erosion forms an integral part of our press tool-making process.
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a widely used process that includes die-sinking EDM, wire-cutting EDM and hole-drilling EDM. Because it removes material by electrical discharge rather than mechanical cutting, EDM can machine any electrically conductive material, such as steel or titanium, regardless of hardness, to an accuracy of one-thousandth of a millimetre (0.001mm) with no mechanical stress on the part. This makes it an essential process for mould and tool making, and for components that are difficult or impossible to produce by conventional machining.
Our wire erosion capabilities
- Materials: aluminium, titanium, nickel alloys and hardened steels
- Tolerance: to 0.001mm (one-thousandth of a millimetre)
- Processes: wire-cutting EDM, die-sinking EDM and hole-drilling EDM
- Machines: Charmilles EDM machines
- Applications: complex machined parts, press tooling and precision components, supplied as a standalone subcontract service or as part of our in-house press tool making
Based in Wolverhampton, we supply wire-eroded parts and tooling to customers across the West Midlands and UK-wide.
