A Brief on EDM Drill & EDM Hole popper – Its Uses & Advantages

The EDM drill machine is used to make small holes in metals. EDM stands for Electrical Discharge Machining. It is a manufacturing process used on hard metals to get desired shapes and sizes of products. The EDM is basically used against the traditional methods of drilling, grinding, and milling. In this method, an electrical discharge flows through the electrode onto the extremely hard steel and other metals (like the titanium, hastelloy, kovar, inconel and carbide) to erode the metals thus giving them a desired shape.

The EDM drill machines are available in various forms, such as

• small hole drilling machines

• fast hole drilling machines

• super hole drilling machines

Each drilling machine has different capacity and capability for drilling through the hard surfaces. The advantages of using an EDM technique are that it reduces the mould production time, increases the production efficiency, and is extremely cost effective

An EDM Hole Popper is used to effectively erode tough metals by the help of electric sparks, thus making a hole through the metal. The EDM drill has high power supply which makes it able to cut through the steel or other surfaces and create holes in a quick precision.

The EDM Drill machines do have the regular wear and tear and also face damages. Hence, it is important to change the parts of the machinery after a particular span of life. Every EDM Hole Popper is a specific company product and hence has its exclusive list of parts. You can browse the internet and get details of availability of the desired parts (brand specific) and place your orders with authorized dealers.

Quality Gearbox Repair

There are occasions when industries need the facilities of gearbox repair for which you have to turn to precision engineering since such a repair would call for great accuracy. There is an element of urgency as well since these gearboxes invariably drive huge machines wherein you cannot afford to keep the machinery shut down for a too long period. In some precision engineering establishments you can get those gearboxes repaired that are rated to as much as 750 kW. The capability in metallurgical analysis in these establishments permits a quick assessment and every gear or shaft can be tested and analyzed in order to ensure that the gearbox repair that is carried out involves replacements with the same quality as well as hardness equivalent to that of the original components. Replacements are achieved of gears that are as large as 102”in diameter and the parts can also be heat treated or carburized as well in order to give an extended life to the gears that are damaged.

Metallurgical analysis in similar cases permits that the materials are identified with great accuracy. While traditionally the parts are broken down in order to assess the proportion of the constituents, the professional establishments on the other hand rely on X-ray fluorescence equipment for such estimations. With this kind of equipment, almost every metal and alloy can be assessed, without resorting to guesswork, immediately using NDT or Non Destructive Test methods. Such precision engineering establishments use only standard bearings and seals while carrying out the repair of gearboxes.
