Die sinking
Die-sinking EDM is used when complex contours such as bulges, lettering or surface structures need to be created in a mould. For this purpose, a copper electrode with the desired shape is first produced, which is then inserted into an EDM machine. The moulded part to be processed is placed under the electrode. The eroding machine now dips the electrode, enclosed in a dielectric, step by step into the intended location, whereby the surface of the workpiece to be processed is removed by a series of electrical discharges. The result is ultimately an exact negative image of the electrode in the material.Our AGIE-Elox Mondo I die-sinking EDM machine only has the Z axis controlled, the X and Y axes are set manually.
Thanks to die-sinking EDM technology, we are able to produce complex geometries even in high-strength and hardened workpieces with minimal tooling (semi-finished copper products).
