Recently, a new type of processing technology - high-speed small hole drilling EDM has attracted widespread attention in the industry. This technology is based on the traditional EDM, by increasing the rotation speed of the electrode and reducing the diameter of the electrode, it achieves a more precise and efficient processing effect.It is understood that the high-speed small-hole EDM technology has the following advantages: First, due to the high speed of the electrode, the material can be quickly removed, thereby greatly shortening the processing time; second, the smaller diameter of the electrode can achieve finer The processing effect reaches micron-level precision; finally, the technology is applicable to the processing of various materials, including metals, ceramics, glass, etc.At present, the high-speed small hole EDM technology has been widely used in the fields of automobile, aerospace, medical equipment and so on. For example, parts such as fuel injectors and valve seats of automobile engines require high-precision processing technology to ensure their quality and performance. Traditional processing methods are often difficult to meet these requirements, but high-speed small hole EDM technology can easily do it.Industry insiders said that with the continuous development of high-speed small-hole EDM technology, its application in various fields will become more and more extensive, bringing more opportunities and challenges to the development of the manufacturing industry. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen technology research and development and personnel training to promote further innovation and development of this technology.

Molybdenum wire is a very high strength wire with tensile strength in excess of 275,000psi. it has very high melting and vaporization temperatures, 4,757°F (2,625°C) and 10,040°F (5,560°C). Because of its high working temperatures, the EDM craters left on the wire`s surface are very small compared to those left on a brass-based wire and therefore will not flush as efficiently. Molybdenum Wire Cut EDM is often used in the small, (0.006 to 0.004"), and fine, (<0.004"), diameters to meet blueprint requirements of narrow kerf and near-sharp, inside corner radii. Because of its high tensile strength, molybdenum wire aids in maintaining excellent wall straightness and reducing the number of wire-breaks common with many small and fine brass wires. In special cases, typically in medical and military applications, there can be no copper or zinc contamination of the cutting surface. This criteria eliminates all copper-family wires and forces the use of a molybdenum or tungsten wire.

While Wire Cut EDM uses the side of molybdenum wire drawn through a block of metal, Small Hole Drilling EDM plunges the end of a narrow wire into the workpiece. Since EDM does not use mechanical force, a thin, fragile electrode can be moved into a hard alloy without concern for it bending or breaking. Traditional drilling operations struggle to pierce a hole through hard surfaces at an angle. Drill bits work well when they are perpendicular to the surface and the sharp point at the tip can bore into the material. The contact surfaces and forces at the tip are irregular when the angle is reduced though. Drill bits bow to one side and tend to walk down the surface, so the positioning is not reliable. This also causes a high amount of fatigue stress and usually breaks small drill bits. But Small Hole Drilling EDM has none of these issues. Small Hole Drilling EDM can be used to put a deep hole at a very shallow angle through a hardened ball bearing with the ball simply sitting on a stand to prevent it from rolling away. It almost doesn`t need to be clamped in place. The electrode isn`t exactly a simple wire – the point at the end of a two dimensional line. It`s more like an injection needle; a small hollow tube through which dielectric fluid is pumped. The fluid helps to cool and irrigate the hole and carry away any particles. The tube is also continually and slowly rotated to further aid in passing debris away from the tip. As you might imagine, Small Hole Drilling EDM is usually the best way to pierce through the middle of a block of hard metal before Wire Cut EDM can take over and work sideways.

Given the EDM`s complete disregard for the hardness of a metal, it`s most commonly used for creating hardened alloy tooling needed for other manufacturing processes – alloys that are very difficult to machine with traditional cutting and milling methods. The vast majority of injection mold tooling, extrusion and stamping dies need these alloys to handle the high forces in their processes and are created using EDM. Also, since the process does not use any mechanical force whatsoever, Hole drilling EDM can drill holes on an angle through curved surfaces without any deviation. In some cases, electrodes can be rotated or moved along curved paths through workpieces in ways, which is not possible with other processes like CNC Machining.

Two Soviet scientists, B. R. Lazarenko and N. I. Lazarenko, were tasked in 1943 to investigate ways of preventing the erosion of tungsten electrical contacts due to sparking. They failed in this task but found that the erosion was more precisely controlled if the electrodes were immersed in a dielectric fluid. Simultaneously but independently, an American team, Harold Stark, Victor Harding, and Jack Beaver, developed an EDM machine for removing broken drills and taps from aluminium castings. The wire cut type of machine arose in the 1960s for making tools (dies) from hardened steel. The tool electrode in Wire Cut EDM is simply a wire. To avoid the erosion of the wire causing it to break, the wire is wound between two spools so that the active part of the wire is constantly changing. The earliest numerical controlled (NC) machines were conversions of punched-tape vertical milling machines. The first commercially available NC machine built as a Wire Cut EDM machine was manufactured in the USSR in 1967. Machines that could optically follow lines on a master drawing were developed by David H. Dulebohn's group in the 1960s at Andrew Engineering Company for milling and grinding machines. Master drawings were later produced by computer numerical controlled (CNC) plotters for greater accuracy. A wire cut EDM machine using the CNC drawing plotter and optical line follower techniques was produced in 1974. Dulebohn later used the same plotter CNC program to directly control the EDM machine, and the first CNC EDM machine was produced in 1976. Commercial wire EDM capability and use has advanced substantially during recent decades. Feed rates have increased and surface finish can be finely controlled.

The key advantage of Wire cut EDM is that parts may be cut after heat treatment which eliminates the possibility of distortion arising from post-machining treatments. Also, because the wire cut EDM method exerts no tooling pressure upon the workpiece, so the smaller and delicate parts are easily machined. Meanwhile fixturing requirements are minimal compared to conventional machining methods. More important, better surface roughness is possible to reach for wire cut EDM machining.

To operate wire cut EDM, the operator should understand the operation technology and follow the requirements on the manual.The operator needs to learn the wire cutting process, select the appropriate processing parameters, and operate it in accordance with the ingot operation sequence to avoid problems such as wire broken. While swinging the handle to roll molybdenum wire on storage drum, be careful to avoid hurting people nearby. When loading and unloading molybdenum wire, it is dangerous get it caught in hands. The replaced waste wire should be placed in the ingot window to avoid electrical short circuit, electric shock,disconnection, etc. Be careful to avoid thread breakage and collision of transmission parts caused by the inertia of the spool.For this reason, when work finished, stop button should be pressed as soon as possible after wire storage drum is reversed.

Multi-cutting wire cut EDM is upgraded from Single cutting wire cut EDM. It through control electric current and cutting speed during repeated cutting to obtain better surface roughness. To ensure rigidity and stability, the casting of machine body at least reaches the grade of gray cast iron HT250, and the design of structure is C-shape in which the upper frame and the column are connected in one whole, and the machine bed is T-shape. To reach better processing precision, the linear guide rail and ball screw are adopted Taiwan brand, Hiwin or PMI. Sometimes XY axis servo motor driven was also chosen by customers. The core technology of multi-cutting is based on control cabinet, so the control system- AutoCut or WinCut and all the related high-frequency board, driver board, inverter, resistor and contactor must be reliable and durable.

Wire Cut EDM is fast, effective, and can be used to machining virtually any electrically conductive metal material, including Bronze, Copper, Tungsten, Carbon graphite, Carbon steel, Stainless steel, High alloy steel, Hard alloy, Inconel, Titanium and many others. It use a continuously moving molybdenum wire as electrode to perform pulsed spark discharge on the workpiece, ablate the metal material and cut it into shape. It was widely used for processing various complex small workpieces, such as die punches, concave dies, convex and concave dies, fixed plates, strippers, etc., forming tools, templates, metal electrodes for sinker EDM, various micro holes, narrow slits, Arbitrary curves, etc. Wire cutting EDM own its special advantages such as small machining allowance, high machining accuracy, short production cycle and low manufacturing cost.

Regarding to wire cut EDM, customer's requirement for accuracy and surface roughness keep rising, so some configuration also have been improved by EDM manufacturers in the past years. 1. Different drive mode of XYUV axis: CNC wire cut EDM is 4 axis linkage, XY axis for table move and UV axis for taper cutting, choose differen motor to drive means different level accuracy, such as stepper motor, hybrid motor and servo motor. 2. Digital readout display: DRO can shows the cutting path of molybdenum wire on workpiece. Quickly map machining process in a mechanically locked mode, it is useful for improving programming power and real-time monitoring.

Stone cutting tools are misunderstood by laymen as an informal topic, and they will be understood as what to do with stone cutting, but in a certain sense, stone cutting tools are talking about jade cutting tools, and stone cutting is just lazy. Expert masters can see the relationship between the production and development of the industry from the direction of jade stone cutting. Stone cutting tools or rough jadeite cutting machines are valuable carriers for promoting jadeite processing efficiency, market activity, and productivity. Cutting tools means the comparative progress of jade processing technology, and also further liberates the labor force of the industry and releases the market potential of the rough stone market, processing market, and finished product market in the jade industry. Only when the market potential is fully activated can it inject a strong impetus into a new round of industrial production development.

The improvement of cutting technology has changed the production process for manufacturers, that is, the correlation between technological progress and application expansion has greatly improved the flexibility of application.

What should I do if the wire is broken during the wire cutting process? When machining workpieces, wire breakage sometimes occurs in medium wire cutting. If both ends of the wire feed drum are normal, you can rewire for processing. Once the middle is broken, the molybdenum wire is wasted. Then, what should I do if the middle wire is cut and the wire is broken? 1. Poor quality of molybdenum wire: choose good quality molybdenum wire 2. Machining parameter error: choose appropriate machining parameters for different materials and workpiece thicknesses. Note that it is easy to disconnect the wires when selecting high current conditions. Conductive block is worn out of slot, wire is clamped: adjust the conductive block to the new position, replace the conductive block if necessary 3. Improper concentration of cutting fluid: keep the concentration of cutting fluid at 11-12.5% 4. The accuracy of the guide wheel (especially the support guide wheel): the bearing should be replaced regularly in strict accordance with the maintenance instructions of the machine tool, and the guide wheel or bearing should be replaced if necessary 5. The flushing fluid is too small to effectively rush into the cutting seam, and poor discharge conditions will lead to wire breakage: set a reasonable flushing fluid size; regularly check whether the cutting fluid is sufficient and the circulation channel is unblocked 6. Workpiece deformation, clamping and breaking molybdenum wire: avoid material cutting deformation: material heat treatment process is reasonable; pre-machined threaded holes; pre-cut to relieve stress; optimize cutting path 7. There are burrs or oxide skin on the surface of the workpiece, resulting in inexplicable wire breakage during processing: Grind or polish the surface of the workpiece before WEDM 8. There are non-conductive impurities inside the workpiece material or non-conductive oxides on the surface of the workpiece: replace the material; remove the non-conductive impurities before cutting 9. The quality of the wire cutting fluid is poor and the concentration is not suitable: the processing fluid is not replaced for a long time, it is too dirty,
