For all Precision Drilling Work with EDM, Contact the Experts

Precision engineering companies today require several resources and skills. They also need the capability to meet different requirements of customers. Precision Products Inc (PPI), an ISO 9001 2008 certified company, has skills, resources and the capability to meet the requirements of customers in industries as diverse as aerospace and food & beverage, jet turbine fuel systems and automotive besides power generation, textiles and defense among several others.

PPI has resources such as not only the CNC machines for milling, turning, high speed hard milling and multi-tasking operations but also EDM machining and current drilling equipment. The EDM or Electrical Discharge Machining equipment offers one of the most accurate manufacturing processes available today. One of its many functions includes that of the EDM drill. This is a very valuable capability that is especially required by sophisticated industries that include both aerospace and jet turbine fuel systems.

An EDM drill used for making very fine holes is also known as the EDM hole popper.  This is one of the three main types of EDM that also include the wire EDM and the sinker EDM. The EDM drill is used specifically for the task of drilling rows of fine holes into the leading and trailing edges of turbine blades used for jet engines.

These fine holes cool the blades and thereby serve to expand the thermal range of capability of these blades. The blades can therefore be used at far high temperatures once these holes have been drilled into them. The EDM drill is also used to create microscopic orifices for the components for fuel systems as well as in spinnerets used for synthetic fibers such as rayon.
