I've been a machinist now for over 35 year. I use to teach an a local ATC. When they high school students through on tour one of the questions that was always asked, what do we need machinist for? The answer was very easy to give. Everything one touches on a daily basis a machinist has been involved one way or another. I so miss programming and running wire EDM's.

I work for acompany that produces components for lapriscopic tools. We produce the main bodies, levers, buttons and knobs. we also over mold some of the probes that are used. We also produce tubing kits for endiscopes, various housings and components for trolley assemblies. The only problem I have working in the metrology lab, is the large volume of work that comes through. A shot of 4 parts every hour until a batch of 50,000 parts is complete, at a rate of about 400 parts an hour. Then an AQL inspection and full set of measurements on 80 or more parts from the production run. We have 2 EDMs in the toolroom that produce the mould tools, 1 wire, 1 sinker. The mould tools often have different dimensions than you would expect given the dimensions of the final product and can often take a bit of fine tuning.

Afew years ago my grandfather had to have surgery for a bad heart valve and from what I understand they essentially had to inflate a small balloon inside his heart to re-open the valve. It exploded inside his heart and the surgeon had to go in and pick out all the little peices, he ended up being fine. Still kicking at the ripe old age of 90

Wire EDM is probably my most favourite CNC machine. Ever since I first learnt about them a couple years ago my mind is still blown and the precision and complexity that can be achieved. It’s also reassuring seeing a genuine real word use for a Wire EDM machine, outside of making seriously cool (albeit novel) zero tolerance flush cubes

How does the wire cutting make pierce cuts like holes?

@deucetres1656 Месяц назад

from someone with no background in machining, i’m really curious about the CNC. So is it essentially like an electronically charged wire that cuts similar to a plasma? Wonder what the gauge of that 316L wire was and astonishing how it held up to that type of cutting! Lastly, i wanted to clarify if you were saying that the alloy of the cutting wire can effect corrosiveness of the part it’s cutting ?!

@henryhbk 2 месяца назад

Ok, so 2 questions here (I’m a doctor so very familiar with laparoscopy) but how does the EDM make an enclosed pocket (it seems the wire needs to be across the part?) and related how did you cut the tabs across the stock but leave the parts attached? Like if you cut across with a band saw (which EDM seems like the sci fi version of?) you would have dropped the parts into the bin below?

@trevorgoforth8963 2 месяца назад

Haha great questions! The enclosed pocket is accomplished by drilling a start hole, feeding the wire through, and then cutting the desired shape of the pocket. The parts stay attached after cutting because I left a .010 tab so the parts didn’t fall into the tank. Sorry I didn’t mention it in the video!

@MW11- 2 месяца назад

⁠@@trevorgoforth8963aha that answers my question for keeping the parts attached, Mitsubishi EDM machines can weld with the wire so the drop-out part can be lightly welded to the holder en be broken out afterwards

The wire will be corroded, it’s cut up into tiny pieces and recycled

@aguillot1984 2 месяца назад

Yes it's waste once used then recycled. A wire processor on the back snips it into tiny pieces. I ran Mitsubishi FA and FA/V series wire EDM machines for over 5 years. Usually we used .012" wire but can go all the way down to .004" with only a little over .001" over burn, so if needed you can cut slots down to .006" wide and ID corners almost perfectly sharp with a .003" radius.

For clarification the parts they're producing are "disposable." The vendor requirements for replacement and service is very strict. A good thing for the medical industry. But... It's not required here and just inflates the medical bill for insurance companies and patients. Why?

@trevorgoforth8963 2 месяца назад

There are 42 grippers made out of this block. Let’s say it takes 20 hours to make them. Even at 120 bucks an hour shop rate that comes out to about 60 dollars a piece.

@aguillot1984 2 месяца назад

Probably double or triple that. Surgical steel is very expensive just for raw material and extreme accuracy multiplies the part cost. EDM wire can cut to microns. EDM machines can be a bit slower for cutting feedrate, but you save when you can cut multiple parts simultaneously using repeated pattern geometry or if you can stack multiple parts at a time using a higher head height. I used to cut stacks 100 to 300 sheets high to machine gaskets for pipeline parts. Also not much tooling needed for EDM reduces cost. Just need wire, resin tanks, and dielectric water filters as opposed to numerous endmills, drills, treadmills, and facing tools and the collets and tools holders needed. Sorry I'm blabbering lol

@trevorgoforth8963 2 месяца назад

The wire doesn’t cut blind holes. The start holes are made using an EDM drill or mill. The wire has to travel all the way through the part so it can’t cut blind features. Sinker EDM’s however, are used to EDM all kinds of difficult to machine blind pockets and holes.

You can but there isn’t much need to. Square block there is a better seal for flushing with the water jets so it’ll cut faster. It’s also unattended machining time. Either run lights out or run another machine.

@aguillot1984 2 месяца назад

Because after you rough it out with an endmill you'd have to rough cut the initial wire cut anyways to get the proper distance for voltage gap and wire tension for a proper skim pass cut. And end mill would be like using a chainsaw for a surgical cut and the rough cuts for EDM wire are only a few , usually .005" to .010" , off the desired profile or geometry of the part.
