Welcome to UnityManufacture, where hardness is not a limitation. EDM removes material by controlled electrical discharge rather than by cutting, so hardened tool steel, titanium and exotic alloys are machined as easily as soft aluminium, with no tool pressure and no burrs. It is the process of choice when a feature cannot be reached by a cutter: sharp internal corners, deep narrow slots, micro-holes and the intricate cavities of mould and die work.

What sets UnityManufacture’s EDM Machining apart?

  1. State-of-the-Art Technology: Our wire cut EDM machines hold +/-0.005mm on through-cut profiles, while sinker EDM burns complex cavities and fine detail directly into hardened blocks.
  2. Expert Team: Our EDM specialists plan electrode design, wire path and skim-cut strategy up front, because most of the accuracy is decided before the first spark.
  3. Customized Solutions: Send hardened stock straight from heat treatment and we will finish the critical features, which removes a whole annealing and re-hardening cycle from your schedule.
  4. Tight Tolerances: Wire EDM holds +/-0.005mm routinely and +/-0.002mm on skim cuts, with surface finishes down to Ra 0.2 micron available on critical faces.
  5. Quality Assurance: Every EDM part is dimensionally verified against the CAD model with CMM and optical measurement, and first-article reports are available on request.
  6. Timely Delivery: Parts cut from hardened stock skip the anneal-machine-rehard cycle entirely, which typically takes a week or more off a tooling programme.

Advantages of Ordering EDM Machined Parts from Unity Manufacture

back in time

No Cutting Force

Material is removed by spark erosion, so there is no tool pressure to deflect thin walls or delicate features, and no burr to remove afterwards.

crosshair

Hardened Materials

Machine fully hardened tool steel at 60 HRC and above. Hardness has almost no effect on cutting speed, so heat-treated stock can be finished directly.

complete

Sharp Internal Corners

Wire EDM produces internal corner radii limited only by wire diameter, giving sharp corners that no rotating cutter can achieve.

membrane

Material Selection

EDM works on any electrically conductive material: tool steel, hardened steel, titanium, Inconel, copper, brass and graphite electrode stock.

quality

Burr-Free Results

Spark erosion leaves no burr and no mechanical stress, so critical edges arrive clean and parts do not distort after machining.

Overview: What is EDM Machining?

EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) removes metal by generating a series of controlled electrical sparks between an electrode and the workpiece, both submerged in dielectric fluid. Each spark vaporises a tiny amount of material, so the workpiece is shaped without any mechanical contact. There are two main types: wire EDM, where a thin travelling brass wire cuts a profile through the part like a bandsaw, and sinker (ram) EDM, where a shaped electrode is fed into the material to burn a cavity.

Because nothing touches the part, hardness is irrelevant. This is what makes EDM indispensable for mould and die work, where cavities are cut into fully hardened tool steel that no end mill could touch. It is also the answer for features that are geometrically impossible to mill: sharp internal corners, deep slots with high aspect ratios, micro-holes in fuel injector nozzles and cooling channels in turbine blades. The trade-off is speed, so EDM is typically used for the critical features while conventional machining handles the bulk of the material removal. The milling machine’s movements are guided by a computer program, allowing for precise control over the cutting process. This results in high levels of accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency when producing complex parts.
