Rotary Wire EDM

Carl Sommer, president of Reliable EDM, shows unique parts can be machined by adding a rotating chuck to a wire EDM. Since wire EDM electrode never touches a part, it can machine extremely small and delicate parts. Sommer shows a steel tube and a round bar of aluminum that was in a rotating chuck and wire EDMed. The video demonstrates why unique parts can be EDMed because the table movement in the X and Y, the upper head in U and V, and the rotating chuck can all be independently programmed.
