EDM Plunger / Sinker

Home > Manufacturing > EDM Plunger / Sinker

EDM machining utilises precision technology for highly accurate finishes. It’s used for applications that demand faultless replication, thanks to the superior tolerance of parts and ultra-fine finishes.

 

SixDe’s advanced manufacturing capabilities provide customers with fast, accurate and high-value EDM part production using a sinker and spark erosion tech. SixDe uses a formed electrode (most usually formed from graphite or copper) to feed the EDM plunger / sinker vertically into the workplace. This forms the reverse shape of the electrode and builds blind cavities. The process burns the required geometry of the part into a metal component – a process typically used to produce dies and moulds.

 

Spark erosion vaporises and removes eroded metal before cooling, recreating the desired form in reverse. This process allows the production of extremely complex and accurate internal profiles difficult to ordinarily machine, even with the most advanced CNC technology. The process can deliver an accuracy of between 0.020mm and 0.050mm.
