Small Hole EDM ⚙️
Small Hole EDM, or EDM drilling, is a precision process used to create tiny, deep holes in hard, conductive materials, ideal for industries like aerospace and energy.
Sinker EDM ⚙️
Sinker EDM, also known as die-sinking EDM, uses a shaped electrode to create precise cavities and complex geometries in conductive materials, ideal for intricate molds and dies.
Vacuum Table Pump ⚙️
A vacuum table pump is a vital component in machining, providing the suction needed to securely hold a workpiece on the table, ensuring stability and precision without traditional clamps.
Vacuum Table ⚙️
A vacuum table is a specialized work-holding device in machining that uses suction to secure a workpiece, allowing for stable, obstruction-free machining without the need for traditional clamps.
Wire EDM ⚙️
Wire EDM is a high-precision machining process that employs electrical discharges to cut conductive materials, using a thin wire electrode to create intricate shapes without physical contact.
