Electric discharge wire cutting technology is a type of special machining, which is different from traditional machining techniques that require mechanical force and energy to cut. It mainly uses electrical energy to achieve material processing. Therefore, wire cutting technology is not limited by material properties and can process any material with hardness, strength, and brittleness. It plays a very important role in current mechanical processing.

Wire cutting technology mainly has the following characteristics:

1. There is no significant mechanical chip force during processing, and any conductive or semi conductive material can be processed regardless of the hardness and stiffness of the workpiece. But it cannot process non-metallic conductive materials.

2. Can process small holes and complex shaped parts, but cannot process blind holes.

3. Low electrode wire loss and high machining accuracy.

4. The narrow cutting seam generated during processing reduces the amount of metal erosion, which is beneficial for the reuse of materials.

5. When the workpiece material is too thick, it is difficult for the working fluid to enter and fill the discharge gap, which can affect the machining accuracy and surface roughness.

6. During the machining process, cracks, deformations, and other issues may occur on the surface of the workpiece. Before machining, appropriate heat treatment and rough machining should be carried out to eliminate defects in material properties and blank shape, and improve machining accuracy.

7. By using CNC programming technology to process workpieces, machining parameters can be adjusted, making it easy to achieve automatic machining.

Application scope

CNC wire cutting machine tools have solved many difficult problems that traditional machining cannot solve, especially in the processing of products such as small angle and taper cutting. They have been widely used in industrial fields such as automobiles, machine tool production, and aerospace.

Wire cutting technology, through reasonable optimization of machining parameters and error compensation, can achieve high-precision machining and occupies an important position in the field of mechanical processing. Utilizing new technologies and processes to promote the rapid development of CNC electric discharge wire cutting technology, increasing investment in wire cutting technology, and thus promoting the development of the entire mechanical processing industry.
