EDM Wire Cut Speed Rates - One of the Myths of WEDM
/Visit WEDM Tech Wize: Read about the 5 Myths of WEDM
Myth 3. If it costs twice as much, it better cut twice as fast
The third myth is not one of technology, but rather one of economics. No, if it costs twice as much, it does not need to cut twice as fast to be quite valuable.
Time savings is time saved and Time is of course money that can be made by making more parts. Every advantage needs to be taken wither it is twice as fast or 50% faster.
There is still value in time saved!
The Speeds are for reference and are averages from our tests that we have performed on a Exectek Machine. These are high performance EDM wires that are available for purchase at our website online stores.
We feel confident that our wire offerings are the best in the industry and the speed can be increased as the .110” or 2.794mm per minute are not the highest speeds reached, they are averages that can be achieved in real life contour cuts. (Without Wire Breaks) Comparison of speed data without a clear definition of testing methodology and machine tool employed is a mistake. It is like judging a book by the cover
