The EDM cutting tool
is guided along the desired path very close to the work but it does not touch the piece. Consecutive sparks produce a series
of micro-craters on the work piece and remove material along the cutting path by melting and vaporization.
Precision in the area of µm

Electrical discharge machining (or EDM), sometimes referred to as spark machining, is a method of working extremely hard
materials or materials that are difficult to machine cleanly using conventional methods. It is limited, however, to
electrically conductive materials. EDM can cut small or odd-shaped angles, intricate contours or cavities in extremely
hard steel and exotic metals such as titanium, hastalloy, kovar, inconel and carbide.

The Stolfig® Group works with the wire eroding machine
Mitsubishi FA20.
The company is able to manufacture workpieces, which have a precision in the area of µm.
