EDM
EDM Excellence for Medical Device Manufacturing
With 10 technologically advanced EDM machines, including both wire and Ram (sinker) EDM, Lavelle Medical is equipped to handle your project, whatever your product and part specifications.
EDM removes material without the mechanical stress that conventional machining can introduce. That makes it a cost-effective choice for medical device components that demand impeccable surface quality and minimal distortion. It also allows us to cut thin-wall features and precisely profile medical-grade tubing.
Our advanced processes deliver tight tolerances and excellent finishes on over 30 types of materials, both ferrous and non-ferrous.
- Wire diameters cut as small as 0.004 in. to allow the cutting of thin and precise features with minimal radius and exceptionally tight corner radii.
- Blind holes machined by RAM EDM equipment allow flexibility for a wide range of applications, including chipless cutting.
- Burr-free, sharp edge cutting facilitated by state-of-the-art wire EDM machinery.
- 4th axis capability to machine angled features with high accuracy.
- Thin wall profiling and the ability to precisely cut medical-grade tubing.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Wire diameters can be as small as 0.004, which allows the cutting of very thin and precise features with a minimal radius and exceptionally tight corner radii.
Yes. Using RAM EDM equipment, we are capable of machining blind holes. In fact, this is one of the greatest benefits of EDM machining, and allows flexibility for a wide range of applications, especially in the medical industry where chipless cutting is a necessity.
Lavelle Machine has 10 of the most technologically advanced machines for EDM work, including both Wire and RAM EDM machines to accommodate a variety of product and part specifications. For example, while wire EDM tends to provide burr-free cutting, RAM EDM is preferable for chipless cutting – which can be beneficial for a number of applications.
