Terminology of wire cut EDM machining

For better communication of wire cut EDM machining technology, there is a whole set terminology in the market.

1. 1.       Wire cut EDM machining

It refers to technology that utilizes spark discharging to erode material to do shape machining upon workipeice.

1. Discharging gap or discharging clearance

It refers to the difference between electrode and workpiece while discharging happens. To wire cut EDM machining, discharging clearance is usually around 0.01mm

1. Electrical erosions

It refers to stuff that release while electrical discharging. Electrical erosions mainly include metal chip and gas from working solution.

1. CNC high speed feed wire cut EDM machining(WEDM-HS)

It refers to high speed feed reciprocal wire cut EDM machining, with electrode wire feed speed 7-12/s

1. CNC low speed feed wire cut EDM machining(WEDM-LS)

It refers to low speed single direction feed wire cut EDM machining, with electrode wire feed speed 10-15m/min.
