As a CNC training specialist at Junying, it’s my job to ensure our machinists have the technical skills needed to thrive in modern manufacturing. One technology I focus on is EDM (electrical discharge machining) because it plays such a critical role in industries like aerospace, medical devices, and moulds & dies. EDM allows us to machine highly advanced alloys and create complex geometries that weren’t impossible. However, it also requires specialized skills and knowledge to operate effectively.
Our EDM training program provides hands-on instruction on different EDM techniques like wire EDM, die-sinking EDM, and EDM drilling. Trainees learn how to set up machine parameters, handle electrodes safely, program toolpaths, and conduct quality inspections. We emphasize machine maintenance as well to maximize uptime. Comprehending the underlying principles of the EDM process is also important, such as how the electrical spark erodes tiny amounts of metal with each pulse. This knowledge helps our operators troubleshoot and optimize machining techniques.
Through practice on our state-of-the-art EDM machines, trainees become comfortable working with the range of materials that EDM supports like titanium, stainless steel, mould steel and others. We provide real-world job shop experience machining complex parts for aerospace mould inserts or medical implants. This builds confidence and readiness for high-precision production work. Our program also covers the different EDM machining services that Junying offers such as wire EDM, die sinking, and hole drilling EDM.
As manufacturers continually pursue designs with decreasing tolerances and increasing complexity, processes like EDM will remain essential. Our training aims to cultivate the problem-solving mindset and technical proficiency needed for the demands of 21st-century manufacturing. We’re proud that so many of our EDM-trained technicians go on to successful careers in industries revolutionized by this innovative technology. It’s very rewarding to play a role in developing the advanced manufacturing workforce.
