Custom Wire EDM Services

Using our Wire EDM machines along with MasterCam off-line programming, we offer custom fabrication of complicated profiles with wire as thin as 0.004″ in diameter. Manufacturing precise parts with tolerances of plus or minus 0.0002″ and surface finishes of RMS 13 is not a problem for us. In addition, the accuracy of our wire EDM services can be verified by our in-house ISO 17025:2017 accredited laboratory.

With two machines operating 6 days a week and 20 hours per day, our turnaround time can be compressed, when required. We manufacture parts of various sizes with machines that feature a maximum work envelope of 14″ in length by 9″ in width, and a maximum height of 8.75″. Though we can machine any type of complicated parts, our real specialty is our ability to verify small profiles after they have been cut. Our OGP Vision System makes this a snap.
