Wire cutting machines

103 Machines
Wire EDM machines represent an advanced technology for machining precise and complex profiles using a pure copper wire as the electrode. On Makinate, you will find a wide selection of used wire EDM machines from top brands such as Charmilles, Fanuc, Ona, Sodick, Mitsubishi, and Agie. These specialized machines have achieved great market success thanks to their exceptional precision and operational versatility....

Features of wire EDM machines

Wire EDM machines, unlike plunge EDM machines, use a pure copper wire as the electrode. The wire acts as a cutting tool, moving vertically and advancing through the workpiece. Wire technology allows for extremely precise cuts on complex profiles, making it ideal for applications requiring strict dimensional tolerances.As explained in the case of plunge EDM, material removal in wire EDM is due to a combination of thermal and electrical effects. A conductive material can be eroded when struck by a series of electrical discharges, each lasting only a few milliseconds. The copper wire acts as a movable electrode, precisely guided along programmed trajectories by the machine axes.

Programming and automation

The desired shape is stored in the machine through the work program. The information is then transferred to the axes, which guide the wire along the predetermined path, automatically producing the desired form. This numerical control system ensures absolute repeatability and consistent precision across all operations.

Evolution and success of wire EDM machines

The wire EDM machine was developed after the widespread adoption of plunge EDM. However, wire EDM quickly gained significant popularity and is highly valued in the market, especially for machining precise and complex profiles.

Competitive advantages

Wire EDM offers distinctive advantages over other machining technologies:
  • Exceptional precision: capability to produce complex profiles with very tight tolerances
  • Geometric versatility: ability to cut shapes impossible with traditional tools
  • No mechanical stress: the workpiece does not deform during cutting
  • Surface quality: excellent finishes without further machining
  • Hard material machining: able to cut hardened metals and difficult materials

Types of machining

Wire EDM machines can operate in different modes depending on production needs and workpiece characteristics. Modern machines offer advanced configurations that optimize productivity and result quality.

Sparking and immersion machining

Wire EDM machines can be configured for either sparking (dry) or immersion (wet) machining. The choice depends on the size of the workpiece, profile complexity, and the required machining characteristics. Both configurations provide high precision and excellent surface quality.

Automatic wire threading

Modern machines feature automatic wire threading, which significantly improves productivity. This system allows the machine to automatically resume operations in case of wire breakage, reducing downtime and increasing overall process efficiency.

Applications of wire EDM machines

Wire EDM is widely used in industrial sectors where precision and complex profiles are critical:
  • Tooling: production of molds and dies with complex profiles and tight tolerances
  • Aerospace: precision components with complex geometries
  • Medical industry: surgical devices and instruments with accurate details
  • Electronics: components for connectors and circuits with extreme precision
  • Precision mechanics: gears, cams, and components with complex profiles

Machining precise and complex profiles

The defining feature of wire EDM machines is the ability to machine precise and complex profiles that would be impossible or extremely difficult with traditional technologies. The wire can follow elaborate trajectories, create sharp internal corners, and produce fine details while maintaining consistent tolerances throughout the process.Wire EDM can machine any conductive material, regardless of hardness. This versatility makes it especially suitable for:
  • Hardened steels: hard materials difficult to machine with conventional tools
  • Special alloys: high-strength materials used in critical applications
  • Soft metals: such as copper, aluminum, and brass with excellent finishes
  • Superalloys: exotic materials used in aerospace and energy industries
