When a part calls for a tight tolerance across a large working envelope, our Mitsubishi MV2400 wire EDM has the accuracy and the reach to cut it in one setup.
The MV2400 runs on a non-contact, zero-backlash linear shaft drive across all four axes, paired with a fully fiber optic servo system. That combination holds position tighter and responds faster than a conventional ballscrew-driven machine, without changing how wire EDM works: a thin wire carrying an electrical charge erodes hardened material with no physical tool touching the part.
The MV2400 holds tolerances to ±.0001″, the same tight-tolerance work this shop has always done, at a larger capacity. It handles workpieces up to 41.3″ x 32.3″ and up to 3,307 lbs submerged, room that matters on mold bases, larger stamping dies, and multi-cavity parts that would otherwise need more than one setup to finish.
The machine also threads wire automatically across a 17″ annealing length, with a built-in scrap wire processor. A job can run through a wire break without stopping, and the linear drive keeps positioning accuracy consistent from the first part to the hundredth.
Industries we serve: Aerospace components, mold and die work, medical device tooling, automotive stamping dies, industrial equipment.
We’ve run wire EDM in Garland for more than 40 years. The MV2400 is the newest machine we run that work on, and it’s built for the jobs where the part is too large or the tolerance too tight for a standard-capacity wire machine.
When the job is smaller but the tolerance isn’t, our Mitsubishi MV1200 wire EDM holds it just as tight, on a smaller machine.
The MV1200 shares its linear shaft drive and fiber optic servo control with our MV2400, just sized down for smaller workpieces and a smaller footprint on the shop floor. It’s built for detail work: fine features, small cavities, and parts where a larger machine’s extra travel isn’t doing you any favors.
The MV1200 holds the same ±.0001″ tolerance as our larger wire machines, on workpieces up to 31.9″ x 27.6″ and up to 1,102 lbs submerged. Auto-threading across a 14″ annealing length keeps a job running through a wire break without operator intervention.
It’s a good fit for prototype work, smaller mold and die components, and any job where precision matters more than size.
The MV1200 and MV2400 share the same control system and drive technology, so a part can move between the two machines without losing consistency. That matters on a job where some features call for the bigger machine’s capacity and others don’t.
We hold a two-inch part to the same tolerance discipline as a two-foot one. That’s been true here for more than 40 years, and the MV1200 is what lets us keep it true on smaller work without tying up the larger machine.
When your part needs a cavity, pattern, or three-dimensional shape cut into hardened material, our Mitsubishi SG12 sinker EDM brings AI-adjusted process control to that work.
Sinker EDM works by sinking a shaped electrode into the workpiece, eroding a negative image of that shape through electrical discharges instead of a cutting tool. The SG12 adds adaptive control that adjusts machining parameters as it cuts, so electrode wear stays lower and results stay consistent from the first part to the last.
The SG12 handles workpieces up to 998 kg and electrodes up to 50 kg, and it runs graphite or other electrode materials without excessive wear. Its power supply cuts electrical consumption by roughly 20% compared to earlier-generation sinkers, and its jump function clears debris fast enough to cut real time off deep or detailed cavity work.
It’s suited to mold and die cavity work, complex three-dimensional shapes, and jobs where the geometry rules out conventional machining.
The control system adjusts as it runs instead of waiting on a manual reset, which means less babysitting mid-job and more consistency across a production run. For you, that shows up as a part that matches spec the same way whether it’s the first one off the machine or the fiftieth.
The SG12 runs alongside our Charmilles Roboform 22 sinker, so we have two different sinker EDMs on the floor for jobs of different size and complexity.
There’s a category of precision hole drilling that conventional tools simply cannot accomplish. Our CURRENT EDM Fast Hole Drill exists for exactly that purpose.
When turbine components need cooling holes. When aerospace blades need metering holes. When parts have complex geometries and traditional drilling would deflect or bind. Fast hole EDM solves what other technologies cannot.
Holes as small as .004″ diameter, as large as .5″, at any depth your design requires. Shaped holes—not just round. Multiple holes in a single setup. Perfect entrance and exit without delamination. Cooling holes in superalloys. Precision without tool breakage, deflection, or thermal distortion to the surrounding material.
This matters because every cooling hole that misfires costs you. Poor hole quality creates pressure drops. Inconsistent metering affects performance. Thermal barrier coatings get damaged during drilling. The CURRENT EDM eliminates these problems entirely.
The machine uses electrical discharge to vaporize material through a precisely positioned electrode. No mechanical force means the part stays perfectly dimensioned, no matter the material hardness. Deionized water acts as the medium, giving superior flushing and electrode control compared to conventional approaches.
Aerospace and power generation engineers specify cooling hole drilling for critical performance. But executing that specification requires the right equipment. Conventional drilling struggles. Laser drilling damages coatings. EDM hole drilling delivers the precision these critical applications demand.
We work with your specifications and deliver repeatability that justifies design requirements. Turbine blades. Combustor liners. Pressure vessels. High-stress components where precision cooling directly impacts lifespan and reliability.
When you need to create a cavity, pattern, or three-dimensional shape in hardened material, our Charmilles Roboform 22 Sinker EDM brings precision that matches the complexity of your design.
Sinker EDM is the path forward when your part geometry exceeds what traditional machining can do. We sink an electrode into your workpiece, creating a negative image of whatever shape you need.
Complex 3D cavities in hardened steel. Production molds with precise draft angles. Intricate electrode shapes. Parts that require harden-after-machining because the geometry is impossible to machine in the soft state. Stamping die cavities with micro-detail. Intricate cooling channels. Undercuts, overhangs, and complex surfaces that violate traditional CNC logic.
The Roboform 22 brings automated capability to this process. Once programmed, the machine controls the sinker depth, burn settings, and electrode wear compensation. You get consistent cavity dimensions across production runs. The finish is clean enough for many applications to move directly to assembly without additional polishing.
Your electrode can be custom-shaped graphite or copper. We can create single-cavity dies or multi-cavity production tooling. The machine’s precision means your mold cavity dimensions stay tight—critical when you’re molding plastic parts to narrow tolerances, or when mold cavity wear affects product quality.
Industries we serve: Plastic injection mold makers, stamping die manufacturers, aerospace tooling shops, medical device OEMs, precision component producers.
The economics are straightforward: if your part’s geometry is impossible or uneconomical to machine conventionally, sinker EDM becomes your enabling technology. We’ve been doing this for decades. We understand electrode design, burn strategies, and the machining sequences that deliver quality cavities on schedule.
Production runs demand a different mindset than prototypes. The Charmilles 240CC Wire EDM is built for shops that need to cut multiple identical parts—and cut them fast.
This CNC-controlled wire machine handles the repetitive precision that keeps your customers happy and your shop efficient.
Your first part sets the standard. The second part matches it. The hundredth part is identical. That’s what production-ready equipment delivers. The 240CC cuts complex profiles, multi-cavity patterns, and intricate geometries with the repeatability that justifies moving from job shop to production work.
You program the cutting path once. The machine repeats it. No operator intervention needed once the part is loaded. This means you can run unattended cuts—program a job in the afternoon, come back to finished parts in the morning. Your floor space produces value around the clock.
Wire EDM delivers advantages that grow with volume. No tool wear means no mid-production tool changes. No thermal distortion means no secondary finishing. Tight tolerances maintained throughout the run. Surface finish consistent enough to skip polishing for many applications.
Higher piece counts make the programming investment worthwhile. The 240CC’s automation means lower per-unit cost as quantity grows. You can quote tighter lead times because you’re not tool-constrained. Your customers notice when you deliver consistent quality and reliable schedules.
Common applications: Stamping die production, precision bracket cutting, intricate mold inserts, medical device components, aerospace parts, multi-part production runs where tolerance and consistency drive the bid.
We understand production scheduling. We know how to sequence parts for maximum efficiency. We deliver the predictability that makes your operation competitive.
Some jobs sit in the middle—between simple holes and complex cavities. The Chevalier 408 Sinker EDM fills that gap with straightforward capability and reliable results.
This ram-type sinker handles the work that justifies keeping a flexible, responsive machine in production.
Manual or semi-automatic sinker capability for jobs where full CNC automation isn’t necessary. Custom electrode shapes created quickly. One-off dies. Rapid prototype testing. Detail work on components. Jobs where you need a cavity but the geometry is straightforward enough that programming complexity doesn’t make sense.
The Chevalier brings practical utility. You design your electrode. You load it. You dial in burn settings based on material type and finish requirements. The machine takes over from there. Fast setup times mean faster job turnaround.
This is the machine we reach for when a customer calls with a last-minute requirement. When a die needs repair. When a sample part needs cavity testing before committing to full production tooling. When you’re unsure if EDM is the right solution and want to test it on budget.
Not every job justifies the overhead of full CNC programming. But many jobs need sinker capability on an immediate timeline. The Chevalier delivers exactly that. Short lead times. Reasonable costs. Quality results.
We’ve used this machine to solve countless custom problems. It’s the tool we reach for when customer requirements demand quick decisions and practical solutions.
EDM of Garland has invested in this specific equipment mix for one reason: to solve the problems that conventional machining cannot address.
Wire EDM lets us cut profiles that would require multiple conventional operations. Sinker EDM lets us create cavities in hardened materials without the limitations of traditional tooling. Fast hole drilling lets us put precision cooling holes exactly where your design requires them.
