1 x Spark Eroding: Joemers EDM machine (JM322 +AZ50), x300mm y200mm z200mm
EDM Drilling:
Hole Burning: EDM Hole Drilling (0.3mm dia to 3.0mm dia)
Component size: x: 300mm, y: 300mm z: 250mm.
We are capable of EDM hole drilling from 0.3mmØ to 3.0mmØ through materials such as hardened steel up to 250mm thick. EDM drilling is useful for small applications such as nozzles, drilling into curved surfaces, as starter holes for wire erosion, it can also drill through any material even carbides and wont risk damage from broken drill bits.
