A wire eroder, also known as a Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) machine, is used to cut intricate shapes and fine details in hard conductive materials. This non-contact machining process uses a thin, electrically charged wire—usually brass—to erode material with extreme precision.
At Erodex UK, we specialise in supplying high-performance EDM solutions, including wire eroder consumables and accessories. Our products are widely used across aerospace, automotive, medical, and toolmaking industries where precision, reliability, and consistency are non-negotiable.
How Does a Wire Eroder Work?
A wire eroder uses spark erosion between the wire and the workpiece, submerged in dielectric fluid. This process allows for tight tolerances and the ability to cut complex geometries without applying physical force, making it ideal for delicate or high-precision components.
