Metal Samples Alabama Laser Technologies |
| Our electrical discharge machining (EDM) department features
the latest in technologically advanced equipment, including auto threading, 4-axis
cutting, submerged machining, anti-electrolysis power supply, and small wire capabilities.
These machines are used to hold exceptionally tight tolerances on exotic and other
materials that are difficult to machine using other methods. The improvements in feed
rates also make them competitive with milling machines in producing parts. Our EDM equipment can cut material thicknesses up to 20 inches and produce finishes of 12-15 RMS on steel and 8-9 RMS on carbide with minimal recast layer. We have a total of 5 wire machines, which give us the capability to take on large jobs and provide quick turnaround. Our 2 sinker machines can EDM parts spherically and helically at the same time, producing exceptional finishes. The automatic tool changer provides for unattended machining, the simplified programming decreases set-up time, and the no flush feature reduces electrode wear. These technical advances have allowed us to reduce our cost, therefore passing it on to our customers.
