Profile: Wire-Cut Technologies Ltd. provides specialist manufacturing capability using wire erosion techniques. We offer electric discharge machining and wire cutting. EDM wire cutting uses a metallic wire to cut a programmed contour in a workpiece. Extrusion dies & blanking punches and various other forms of jigs & fixtures are often machined by wire cutting. To start machining it is necessary to drill a hole in the workpiece or start from the edge. On the machining area, each discharge creates a crater in the workpiece and an impact on the tool. The wire can be inclined, thus making it possible to make parts with taper or with different profiles at the top and bottom. The basic EDM process is an electrical spark that is created between an electrode and a work piece. The spark is visible evidence of the electro-discharge. This electric spark produces intense heat with temperatures reaching 8000 to 12000 degrees celsius, melting almost anything.
