In addition to wire EDM machines and start hole EDM machines, there are other types of EDM machines designed for specific applications. Some of them are: Die-sinking EDM machines: These machines are used to erode complex shapes and contours in metals and alloys. The machine uses an electrode holder that plunges the electrode into the material and creates the electrical spark that erodes the material. Hole Eroding Machines: These machines are used to erode holes in metals and alloys. The machine uses an electrode in the form of a pin or a tube that is inserted into the material and generates the electric spark that erodes the material. Shape Eroding Machines: These machines are used to erode complex shapes and contours in metals and alloys. The machine uses a specially shaped electrode that erodes the material as it moves through it. Laser EDM Machines: These machines use a high-energy laser beam to remove material from the surface of the workpiece. They are used to erode precise and complex shapes in metals, alloys and non-metals. Beam EDM machines: These machines use a beam of high-energy particles, such as electrons or ions, to remove material from the workpiece surface. They are used to erode precise and complex shapes in metals, alloys and non-metals. Each type of EDM machine has its own advantages and disadvantages and is used for specific applications.
