Our Redditch Tool Room has taken delivery of a new Sodick VZ300L wire eroder.
Wire erosion cuts precise profiles through hardened tool steel using a fine, electrically charged wire. Because the cut is made after heat treatment, punches and dies keep their accuracy with no distortion from hardening.
Having wire EDM in our own Tool Room means punches, dies and precision profiles no longer go out to a subcontractor. That shortens lead times on new press tools and on repairs and modifications to existing ones, and keeps the whole job under our own quality control.
