When we manufacture tools, wire EDM is a part of the production process. Wire EDM is used to cut metal with an electrically charged brass wire.
At Lidhs Tooling, we got off to an early start with wire cutting machines in our tool manufacturing, acquiring our first EDM machine back in 1978. This has given us more than 45 years of experience and extensive expertise when it comes to working with EDM.
EDM is very much part of the toolmaking process. It is used to cut metal with an electrically charged strand of brass wire. Through the discharging of sparks, the wire can cut away material from a workpiece. The method generates low force on the workpiece, making it suitable for both fragile components and for coarse or hardened materials. The use of EDM makes it possible to produce advanced shapes with high precision.
In our state-of-the-art machinery pool, there are four EDM machines, of which the largest working area is 800x600x320 mm. At Lidhs, we have three employees who specialise in EDM and who use it to produce advanced tool parts and components every day – components that are then assembled to become forming tools for production in the manufacturing industry.
Intelligent machining for a sustainable toolmaking processWe work with intelligent machining using state-of-the-art machinery to make tools At Lidhs Tooling, we were ahead of the game in acquiring state-of-the-art machinery and becoming digitised. In 1973, we acquired an erosion machine – a machine that was highly advanced at the time. A few years later, the…
CNC milling – to achieve the best results from your toolWhen we manufacture tools, CNC milling is a part of the production process used to cut and create flat and shaped surfaces on a tool component. As Northern Europe’s leading tool manufacturer, we make world-class tools and prototypes. We work with several methods to achieve…
