Electro erosion pressing

EDM is essential for producing complex shapes in materials with high mechanical properties.

Unlike other machining methods, there is no contact with the workpiece.

The machining process consists of passing a current through a dielectric in order to generate a “bubble” of vapour or vacuum which ionises and resorbs by imploding, leading to the destruction of the material. This destruction (micro-implosion) causes the spark. The high current ionises a channel through the dielectric. A disruptive discharge then occurs, from the electrode to the workpiece, damaging it very locally (some µm²). The dielectric then cools the damaged particles, which fall into the machine tank as a slurry (micro particles of material and dielectric).
