We provide precision machining technology cultivated through aerospace components. 【Features】 ○ Wire Electrical Discharge Machining This method uses a thin wire as a machining tool, running it under tension while generating discharge between the workpiece and the electrode. The discharge energy processes the workpiece in a manner similar to a wire saw. ○ Die-sinking Electrical Discharge Machining For example, if a star-shaped machining tool is prepared, it can directly create a star-shaped hole. In this case as well, discharge is generated between the workpiece and the machining tool (electrode), processing the workpiece. Since the shape of the machining tool (electrode) is directly transferred, it is possible to machine even somewhat complex shapes by creating an electrode in the desired shape.

Water is injected from a small-diameter nozzle at ultra-high pressure (245–343 MPa) to perform cutting using the kinetic energy of a high-speed water jet (jet stream). 【Features】 ○ The injection speed of the ultra-high pressure water, pressurized by an ultra-high pressure pump, reaches three times the speed of sound (approximately 700–800 m/s), allowing for cutting various materials into free shapes regardless of hardness or size. ○ There are two methods: "Aqua Jet Cutting," which uses only ultra-high pressure water for cutting, and "Abrasive Jet Cutting," which mixes abrasive materials with ultra-high pressure water for cutting. ○ By incorporating abrasive materials, cutting capability is enhanced, enabling processing of hard materials. ○ This cutting method generates no heat and does not affect the mechanical properties or quality of the material. ○ Unlike lasers, there is no stress, thermal impact, burrs, or deformation on the material, allowing for cutting that feels as if it were done with scissors. ○ It is capable of cutting through thick non-ferrous metals, composites, stone, plastics, cushioning materials, and any other materials.

○ Water Jet Cutting Processing Water is injected from a small diameter nozzle at ultra-high pressure (245-343 MPa) to utilize the kinetic energy of the high-speed water jet (jet stream) for cutting. The injection speed of the ultra-high pressure water, pressurized by an ultra-high pressure pump, reaches three times the speed of sound (approximately 700-800 m/s), allowing for the cutting of various materials into free shapes, regardless of hardness or size. ○ CAD/CAM SYSTEM We create machining data for jigs and products from raw data. We edit 3D and 2D data and send it to various machines to shape the products. 【Features】 ＜Water Jet Cutting Processing＞ ○ No stress applied ○ No thermal effects, thus no deformation ○ Minimal burrs, allowing for cutting that feels like using scissors ○ No material change (thermal effects) on the cut surface, making secondary processing easy ＜CAD/CAM SYSTEM＞ ○ 3D software for 5-axis machining 　→ Using Hyper Mill from Open Mind Technologies For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

There are three types of electrical discharge machining: shape cutting discharge machining, wire discharge machining, and fine hole discharge machining, each utilizing its unique characteristics. It allows for high-precision machining of complex shapes, such as curved surfaces and spheres, regardless of hardness, as long as the material is conductive, even for hard materials, hardened materials, and difficult-to-cut materials that cannot be removed by conventional machining machines. Therefore, it has become indispensable in current manufacturing technology. 【Features】 - Unlike conventional machining, electrical discharge machining progresses without contact. - It leaves minimal residual stress in the material, making it a gentle machining method with no stress on the material. - It does not require fixtures or clamps, making it effective for small lots and prototypes.

Cutting with a "water jet" generates no heat due to its non-contact processing, eliminating thermal effects that can be problematic for aerospace components, so there is absolutely no alteration or discoloration of the target object. Most materials that are not thin glass, which can be damaged by water pressure, and are unaffected by moisture can be cut. Our company also handles the processing of aircraft components, and we have established a system that allows customers to confidently entrust their processing needs to us. Please feel free to consult with us. 【Advantages of Water Jet Processing】 ■ No thermal effects ■ No restrictions on target objects ■ Composite materials can also be cut ■ Curves can be cut ■ Small parts can be cut *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Electrical discharge machining repeatedly causes insulation breakdown in a liquid, shaping the product along the electrode. Normally, the machining debris would float in the liquid and be expelled externally, but when discharge occurs with the suspended sludge, the heat melts the sludge, which adheres to areas other than the intended machining section. This is referred to as "spatter adhesion," and it is a contributing factor to the adhesion. For components used in aerospace parts and similar applications, machining is performed without producing spatter. Please contact us for inquiries regarding shape engraving electrical discharge machining. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

This time, we used titanium, which is commonly used as a material for aerospace components, and measured the surface roughness after performing wire cutting with the following number of passes on the same surface: 1 time, 3 times, 4 times, and 6 times. Typically, only the 1st cut is done, but if the machining drawing requires a specific surface roughness, it may be passed through multiple times. If the altered layer from electrical discharge machining is unacceptable, finishing is done using methods such as machining or polishing. 【Wire Cutting Passes and Surface Roughness (Measured Values)】 ■1st: Ra3.2 ■3rd: Ra1.6 ■4th: Ra0.7 ■6th: Ra0.2 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company offers wire cutting processing. We can accommodate various industries and fields with deep grooves, corner rounding, small diameter holes, deep holes, artificial cracks, and complex shapes that cannot be achieved through machining or cutting processes. If the material is a conductive metal, we can also process ceramics like graphite and SiC under certain conditions. We can work with materials that are often avoided in cutting, such as nickel-based Inconel, titanium, and stainless steel, as well as hard materials. 【Features】 ■ Processing is carried out non-contact ■ Minimal residual stress in the material, gentle processing method ■ No need for mounting jigs or clamps ■ Effective means for small lots and prototypes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
