Small Hole EDM Services

 We are constantly looking to go beyond our customers’ expectations in small hole services. By being on the leading edge of the industry for micro hole, small hole and fast hole (high speed drilling) we have set ourselves apart from the competition. Small hole EDM, or EDM Hole burning compliments and aides our wire EDM machines by quickly generating starter holes through seemingly impossible-to-drill materials or thicknesses, greatly reducing cost and turnaround time for our customers.

CNC Small Hole EDM Services

Anpllocnc offers unique, CNC small hole EDM drilling services of blind and through holes in a wide variety of electrically conductive materials. Our purpose-built CNC-operated EDM small hole drilling machines can produce hole diameters as small as .012″ to .250″ with an accuracy of .001″ and fast burn times. High precision micro hole sizes, excellent hole edge quality, superior surface finish, improved overall part accuracy and excellent hole consistency is achieved through the use of cutting-edge EDM generator technologies. Our integrated CNC rotary index tables with tool changers, allow for quick cycle times. Our advanced materials also reduce the electrode wear encountered during the spark machining process. The lower the wear of the electrode, the more holes each electrode can machine before it needs to be replaced.

Small Hole EDM Advantages & Benefits

Small Hole EDM offers a range of advantages and benefits, including: 

  • Ability to drill on curved and angled surfaces. Without the electrode coming into contact with the material being cut, it is easier to drill on curved or angled surfaces when using small hole EDM. 
  • Drilling hard, high strength alloys. Hardness does not affect the small hole EDM drilling process, making it the only drilling method for some materials. 
  • Drilling of softer metals. Softer materials, such as aluminum and copper, often produce chips that cling to cutters. With small hole EDM, drilling of such materials is easily completed without the creation of chips. 
  • Deep hole drilling. Small hole EDM drilling is usually the only practical solution for creating deep small holes. South Shore Manufacturing can drill to depths up to 20″.
  • Burr-free and straight holes. The no-contact process of small hole EDM drilling produces straighter holes that are difficult to obtain with traditional drilling due to drifting. The burr-free holes created with small hole EDM drilling saves time from deburring that’s necessary with conventional drilling. 
  • Prevents broken drills. Since the electrode in small hole EDM drilling does not come in contact with the workpiece, it eliminates improper torque conditions, preventing broken drills.
  • Increased Precision. Being able to program diameter, depth, and hole placement in small hole EDM machines increases control and enhances precision.
