When precision matters and tolerances can’t slip, our Charmilles 310F Wire EDM delivers the complexity your parts demand.
Wire EDM is fundamentally different from traditional machining. We use a thin brass wire carrying a precise electrical charge to cut through hardened materials that would destroy conventional tools. No heat distortion. No tool wear. No compromise on finish quality.
The 310F handles intricate profiles, sharp corners, and angles that other machining methods struggle with. Cavity walls that stay parallel. Internal geometries that maintain tolerance across the entire part. Complex mold inserts. Stamping die details. Parts in hardened steel, carbide, or exotic materials where conventional cutting is impossible.
Your part emerges with a surface finish so clean you may skip additional polishing. Tight dimensional tolerance—down to .0001″—comes standard. Whether you’re producing a single prototype or running production quantities, the wire doesn’t wear like a physical tool. You maintain consistency from part one through part one-thousand.
Industries we serve: Aerospace components, precision mold and die work, medical device tooling, automotive stamping dies, industrial equipment components.
Our approach is straightforward: we understand your part requirements, program the cutting path, and deliver results that exceed expectations. With 36+ years of precision EDM experience, we know how to optimize cut times while maintaining the finish quality your application demands.
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.
Sometimes the right solution is compact, proven, and focused. Our Charmilles D10 Benchtop Sinker EDM delivers precision work for applications where you don’t need the overhead of a production machine.
This is the sinker EDM that’s been solving detail problems for decades.
Detail work on high-precision components. Intricate electrode shapes. Custom cavities in small parts. Engraving and marking operations. Sample parts. Prototype testing. Jobs where precision matters more than volume.
The D10 is manual—you control the burn depth, the electrode feed, the finish passes. This hands-on approach means you can respond to what the part tells you. You want a coarser finish for faster burn? You adjust on the fly. You’re approaching final depth and want finer control? You dial it in. That level of control is sometimes exactly what a job needs.
Hardened steel. Carbide. Exotic alloys. All materials EDM can address. The D10 has been creating precision cavities and details for operators who know their craft.
Footprint matters. The D10 fits in shops where floor space is premium. Setup is straightforward. You’re not wrestling with complex programming. You’re creating custom solutions quickly.
This is the machine for shops that do detail work, custom one-offs, and repair operations. It rewards operator skill and attention. The results are precision—often exceeding what conventional machining can deliver, with finish quality that requires no secondary operations.
We maintain and support this machine because it solves real problems. Sometimes a benchtop solution with proven capability is exactly what your job requires.
