PRECISION MACHINING SERVICES-INTRODUCTION
With 1 micron to 100 microns being the tolerance range of our ultra-precision machining services, Ward Precision proves to be the world’s best and most powerful precision machining company. While equipped with the usual 4-axis precision machining centers and sink EDM, our company also provides other services, including: ultra-precision CNC lathes / 5 axis milling / WIRE EDM.
Our precision machining company is supported by our experienced CNC machinists who are experts in programming, fixture design and development. Ultra-precision requires our machinists to have a deep understanding of the machine’s behavior – not just programming and running according to the manual. CNC machinists are familiar with their machines, and they are able to maximize the performance of their machine capabilities beyond the manufacturer’s expected design and tolerance capabilities. With our knowledgeable, industry-leading ultra-precision machining professionals, we have been able to develop perfect processes that are almost impossible to achieve with the manipulation of temperature compensation curves and control.
WIRE EDM for Guaranteed Precision
Although initially it may be overwhelming, once the CNC techniques have been properly defined, it is easy to grasp the full scope of CNC machining capabilities and how they can benefit your products. Starting with EDM, Ward Precision defines an EDM as one of the most effective CNC indentation and cutting methods available today.
“EDM machining services utilize electrical discharges to make cuts in hard metals.”
Applications best suited for the EDM process are those characterized by extremely exacting tolerances, making it difficult or impossible to handle with any other material removal process. EDM machining is a no-contact and stress free process, meaning it is also best suited for making fragile parts unable to handle the stress of a normal CNC machining process. (Printer hammers, graphite electrode, miniature gears, and any part featuring honeycomb shapes).
With your new knowledge of EDM machining, you may be looking for the best EDM precision machining services to reduce production costs and turnaround time. If so, Ward Precision can provide you with precision CNC machining solution. Our wire EDM engineers are able to achieve 1 micron positioning accuracy with EDM produced walls as thin as 0.010 inches (0.254 mm).
WIRE CUT Precision Machining
Whether you are looking for custom tools and dies to cut titanium for an aerospace mission or steel tools for medical facilities, Ward Precision is your best choice for wire cutting precision machining. With excellent positioning accuracy, precision wire cutting machining provides exact cuts down to 1⁄2 micron (0.00002 inch).
With different wire diameters available for different customer orders, we can choose the right size wire for your product, including:
Although our .006” diameter wire cut machining is most commonly requested by our customers, you can still receive excellent corner radius control with our .0015” diameter wires. While it is convenient to offer .001’ wire capabilities to you and your company, we would caution it is extremely expensive and not usually necessary in 99% of orders. If you are looking for other CNC precision machining services like our rotary axial precision wire cut work, they are available for your consideration as well.
