Ram EDM Machines
Ram electrical discharge machining (EDM), also known as die sinking, uses an electrode typically pre-machined to a specified shape from graphite or copper that is sunk into a workpiece submerged in a dielectric fluid, leaving a negative imprint. A controlled spark discharges in the small gap between the workpiece and electrode to erode and remove material through melting or vaporizing. Ram EDM can cut any material that is conductive, including parts made from tungsten carbide or titanium that are hard to machine, and produce shapes and depths that are impossible to reach with a cutting tool. It produces surfaces with a fine finish and high precision that are ideal for complex die and moldmaking used in the automotive and aerospace industries.
A Hole New Game: Precision EDM Holemaking Goes Smaller, Deeper and Faster
While hole-popper systems are quite capable of generating very small accurate holes with good surface quality, advanced EDM drilling systems dramatically increase a shop’s capability to consistently produce tiny holes that are even more accurate and with higher quality.

A breakthrough liquid-cooled generator technology marks the next generation of CNC Die Sinking that has revolutionized the way machine tool builders look at their power supplies.
An overview of the company and its organization, products, services and capabilities.
Beaumont Machine gave its FH40 fast-hole EDM a faster response time, plus features that address aerospace needs: a lower recast and virtually no microcracking. They’re focusing on the ability to work real-time with the power supply to control interconnection and closed-loop features, and thereby deliver higher quality in their process.
MC Machinery’s Eagle V5 can perform high-precision cuts with the X, Y, Z, B, and C axes moving simultaneously. Integrated 4/5-axis system allows X, Y, and Z travels of 21.6 in, 15.7 in, and 15.7 in, respectively.
The automatic tool changer (ATC) for the BH series of dual-drive press brakes from MC Machinery Systems is designed for high-mix, low-volume environments by allowing for the greatest tooling variation on the market and facilitating operation by employees of all skill levels.
