What Is Wire EDM?
A thin, electrically charged wire is used in the non-contact, thermal cutting technique known as wire electrical discharge machining (Wire EDM) to remove material from conductive workpieces. This technique is perfect for complex geometries and tight tolerances because it can produce complex shapes and patterns with remarkable precision.
We use cutting-edge Wire EDM technology at Actco Tool & Manufacturing Co. in Meadville, PA to create premium parts for a range of sectors, including automotive, medical, and aerospace.
