Eroding

Complex geometric shapes, intricate contours, minimal radii or the tiniest of holes? Super-precise wire erosion, ultra-precise die-sinking and start-hole erosion - we can do it.

Eroding manufacturing process

Depending on the CNC eroding system used, up to 100,000 load/unload changes per second are possible. This enables us to manufacture workpieces efficiently and with the highest precision. Our machinery enables all possible erosion processes: Die-sinking EDM, wire EDM and start-hole EDM.

Die sinking - for the most complex 3D shapes

Modern technology enables us to produce complex, high-precision, three-dimensional contours.

Wire EDM - for the most intricate contours

We use wire erosion to produce very fine and complex industrial components with a high surface quality - virtually without the use of force.

Start hole EDM / Drill hole EDM

Eroding of starting holes for subsequent wire erosion. Air holes and cooling holes can be drill-eroded.
