Electrodes with thin walls , ribs or other delicate features can be machined in one piece with HSM, because the light cuts put so little pressure between the cutter and the workpiece. This can do away with the need to use separate electrodes for these features. Reducing the EDM process to just one electrode redu
Electrodes with thin walls, ribs or other delicate features can be machined in one piece with HSM, because the light cuts put so little pressure between the cutter and the workpiece.
This can do away with the need to use separate electrodes for these features.
Reducing the EDM process to just one electrode reduces processing time and eliminates location error resulting from multiple setups.
