EDM Small hole drilling is the production process for the forming of holes in hardened and exotic materials such as Inconel and Carbide. EDM drills bore holes with a long brass or copper tube electrode that rotates in a chuck with a constant flow of deionised water flowing through the electrode as a flushing agent and dielectric.

Drilling can be between 0.5mm and 4mm in diameter and up to a maximum depth of 400mm.

Global DEA CMM Using Renishaw Modus™ software
Global DEA CMM Using Renishaw Modus™ software

FutureAM uses Renishaw Modus on a modern 3 Metre, DEA GLOBAL® 12-30-10 CNC Co-ordinate Measuring Machine by direct reference to CAD data. The system is equipped with a Revo II Scanning head enabling full surface scanning as well as point Data. FutureAM produces inspection data to an overall accuracy of 0.004mm within the large envelope of 3000 x 1200 x 1100mm.
