Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)

EXCELLENCE IN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING (EDM) FOR EVERY INDUSTRY

One of Lavelle's particular strengths is our expertise in the field of Electrical Discharge Machining, including both wire and RAM EDM. These advanced processes allow for tight tolerances and excellent finishes on any and all ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The EDM process also eliminates any stress that may be created by conventional machining methods, making it a cost effective solution for industries that rely on impeccable surface quality.

EDM Machining

OUR ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING (EDM) CAPABILITIES:

  • Wire diameter to 0.004 allowing for tight corner radii
  • 4th axis capability
  • Thin wall profiling

  • Minimal stress induced into the material, eliminating distortion
  • Ability to cut thin wall medical grade tubing

Frequently Asked Questions About EDM Machining

Wire diameters can be as small as .004, which allows the cutting of very thin and precise features with a minimal radius and exceptionally tight corner radii.

Yes. Using RAM EDM equipment, we are capable of machining blind holes. In fact, this is one of the greatest benefits of EDM machining, and allows flexibility for a wide range of applications, especially in the medical industry where chip-less cutting is a necessity.

Lavelle Machine has 10 of the most technologically advanced machines for EDM work, including both Wire and RAM EDM machines to accommodate a variety of product and part specifications. For example, while wire EDM tends to provide burr-free cutting, RAM EDM is preferable for chip-free cutting – which can be beneficial for a number of applications.
