REMOVAL OF BLOCKED STUDS BY ELECTRO-DEMISATION (EDM)

REMOVAL OF BLOCKED STUDS BY ELECTRO-DEMISATION (EDM)

Special processes

The typical problem of any type of mechanical joint with stuck studs can only be solved by destroying the stud, without damaging the threaded hole. This destruction can be accomplished using electrical discharge machining (EDM) rather than mechanical progressive drilling, which takes at least five times longer. This process is suitable for machining any type of part stuck inside its housing, such as keys, pins, dowels, etc. Typical EDM applications include steam turbine casings, valve bodies, power transmission joints, presses, etc.

Work camp

  • This process can be performed in any position (including the head), without size limitations through progressive erosions.

Special accessories and customization

  • Different shapes of electrodes are available for any type of destruction (cut shape, size, etc.), to be performed in the shortest possible time.
  • Use of automatic feed motion to achieve high precision and reduced execution times.
  • Anchoring/positioning system solutions available to suit the component configuration of the machinery requiring erosion.
