High precision oil wire cutting processing

High precision oil Wire cutting, also known as electrical discharge machining (EDM), is a manufacturing process that uses a thin wire electrode to cut through materials using a controlled electrical discharge.  The wire is typically made of brass or tungsten and is continuously fed through the workpiece while a spark generator creates electrical discharges that melt and vaporize material at the point of contact.

To achieve high precision in oil wire cutting, several factors need to be considered:

Wire diameter: A smaller wire diameter can provide finer cuts and higher precision.

Electrical parameters: The voltage, current, and pulse duration must be carefully controlled to ensure consistent and accurate cuts.

Material properties: Different materials require different EDM settings to achieve optimal results.  Harder materials may require higher voltage and longer pulse durations, while softer materials may require lower settings.

Workpiece setup: The workpiece needs to be held securely in place during the cutting process to prevent movement or vibration that could affect the precision of the cuts.

Cooling system: An oil-based cooling system can help maintain stable cutting conditions and prevent thermal damage to the workpiece.

By carefully controlling these factors, high precision oil wire cutting can achieve tolerances of up to +/- 0.002 mm, making it an ideal process for producing complex shapes with tight tolerances in materials such as steel, titanium, and other difficult-to-cut metals.
