CAM Tech, Inc., a seasoned wire EDM service provider since 1996, has announced the addition of micro hole drilling capabilities to its suite of services, catering to manufacturers in the Waukesha, Wisconsin area and across the Midwest. This advancement is set to revolutionize the production of precise openings in hard metals, essential for aerospace, medical, electronics, and filtration applications. The integration of two EDM micro hole drilling stations enables the creation of starter holes, facilitating the wire EDM machines’ ability to achieve micron-level accuracy and complex shapes without inducing mechanical stress or heat distortion.
The micro hole drilling process is a critical innovation for industries requiring exact tolerances in their components. For example, aerospace applications benefit from cooling holes in turbine blades, while medical devices rely on tiny, clean openings for functionality and safety. Electronics manufacturers also find value in small holes for housing miniature parts or ensuring airflow in compact assemblies. CAM Tech’s service addresses these needs by offering both prototypes and production runs, supported by 13 high-speed wire EDM machines and a recent 6,000-square-foot facility expansion to boost production capacity.
EDM drilling, the first step in the process, utilizes a rotating electrode to initiate openings in conductive materials, followed by wire EDM threading for precision shaping. This method is particularly effective for materials like titanium and carbide, where traditional drilling methods may fall short. The company’s commitment to 24/7 operation and close customer communication underscores its dedication to meeting urgent deadlines and complex project requirements.
With over 30 years of experience in wire EDM, CAM Tech is poised to support manufacturers in southeastern Wisconsin and beyond, offering solutions that combine traditional expertise with cutting-edge technology. The introduction of micro hole drilling services marks a significant step forward in precision manufacturing, enabling the creation of smaller, lighter parts with exact specifications for a wide range of industrial applications.
