EXTREME HARDNESS & PRECISION

Wire/Sinker EDM & Precision Grinding

When traditional milling cutters fail or deflect. We use zero-cutting-force spark erosion (EDM) and abrasive grinding for parts that require sub-micron accuracy or are already hardened (HRC 60+).

  • 🎯 Tolerance: ± 0.001 mm (1 Micron)
  • 🧱 Best Materials: Tool Steels (D2, H13), Tungsten Carbide, Hardened Inconel.
  • ⚙️ Wire EDM: Deep complex extrusions, fragile profiles.
  • ⚙️ Sinker EDM: Sharp 90° internal corners, deep blind cavities.
  • ⚙️ Grinding: Absolute H7 flatness, parallelism, and mirror surface finishes.

Equipment & Reliability FAQ

Transparency is our standard. Learn how we maintain our high-precision arsenal and guarantee zero production downtime.

How do you ensure your CNC machines maintain their precision over time?

+
Precision is not accidental; it requires rigorous maintenance. All our multi-axis CNC centers undergo routine Renishaw ballbar testing and laser calibration to eliminate backlash and geometry errors. Furthermore, our ISO 9001 protocol mandates strict daily, weekly, and monthly preventative maintenance checklists for every spindle on the floor.

What happens to my delivery time if a machine breaks down?

+
Zero downtime redundancy. As you can see from our equipment roster, we do not rely on single points of failure. With 25+ VMCs and 8+ 5-Axis machines, identical backup equipment is always available. If a spindle requires maintenance, your production run is immediately shifted to an identical, calibrated machine without affecting your lead time.

Can I specify exactly which machine is used for my parts?

+
While we highly recommend letting our DFM engineering team route your part to the most efficient machine to save you costs, yes, you can. For mission-critical aerospace or medical long-term contracts, we can lock a specific 5-axis machine and fixture setup exclusively to your product line to guarantee 100% batch-to-batch consistency.

Are your CMM and inspection tools internationally calibrated?

+
Yes. All our metrology equipment, including our Hexagon CMMs, optical projectors, and digital height gauges, are calibrated annually by certified third-party laboratories. Our measurements are fully traceable to NIST and JIS international standards, ensuring your First Article Inspection (FAI) reports are globally recognized and indisputable.
