A rotating tubular electrode is fed into the workpiece. Controlled electrical discharges occur between the electrode and the material, removing material locally through spark erosion. The dielectric fluid (deionized water) flushes away the eroded particles and cools the process. The result is clean, burr-free micro holes smaller than \u00d8 0.1 mm (up to 2 mm deep) up to diameters of \u00d8 3 mm (up to 200 mm deep).                                            <\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading-59232\">\n                            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse59232\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse59232\">\n\n                                                                How exactly does the process work? \n                                <span class=\"accordion-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"rt rt-plus-regular\"><\/i><\/span>\n                                <span class=\"accordion-icon-active\"> <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"rt rt-minus-regular\"><\/i><\/span>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div id=\"collapse59232\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading59232\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionExample5923\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\n                                <div class=\"inner\">\n                                                                        <div class=\"content\">\n                                                                                <p class=\"disc\">\n                                            The material is removed without mechanical contact through a very high frequency of electrical discharges. As no mechanical force is applied to the workpiece, distortion and microstructural changes are avoided.\n\nThe process is particularly suitable for machining hardened steels, carbide, titanium, medical-grade stainless steel, and other materials that are difficult to machine conventionally.\n\nStart Hole EDM is ideal for producing micro-holes, for generating start holes for wire EDM, and for the extraction of broken tools (e.g., taps) from components without damaging the workpiece.                                        <\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading-59233\">\n                            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse59233\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse59233\">\n\n                                                                What makes start-hole EDM special? \n                                <span class=\"accordion-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"rt rt-plus-regular\"><\/i><\/span>\n                                <span class=\"accordion-icon-active\"> <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"rt rt-minus-regular\"><\/i><\/span>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div id=\"collapse59233\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading59233\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionExample5923\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\n                                <div class=\"inner\">\n                                                                        <div class=\"content\">\n                                                                                <p class=\"disc\">\n                                            Each discharge momentarily generates temperatures of up to 12,000 \u00b0C, which locally removes the material through vaporization. The resulting heat-affected zone is extremely narrow, with minimal thermal influence.\n\nIn contrast to mechanical drilling, no burrs and no residual stresses are introduced into the workpiece.\n\nThis process enables the creation of very small diameters (below \u00d8 0.1 mm) with high aspect ratios, which are not achievable using conventional drilling, where tools would quickly break due to load and wear.                                        <\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n

Thanks to the CNC control with electrode changer, it is possible to guarantee fast and precise processing of the materials. Appropriate electrodes are used depending on the area of application and the materials to be processed.
