Electrical discharge machining (EDM) machines are devices used in the metalworking and machine tool sector. The design of individual models depends on their intended use, production volume and level of automation.
In terms of functionality, models differ in terms of performance, accuracy, processing capacity and energy consumption. Ease of maintenance and the availability of on-site service also play an important role in the selection process.
Well-known brands include Mazak, Okuma, Hermle and Schuler. Models from other specialist manufacturers are also regularly available.
EDM machines are used in mechanical engineering, toolmaking, the supply industry and series production. Typical users include both medium-sized specialist firms and large industrial companies with their own machine parks. The selection is determined by application requirements, existing infrastructure, investment budgets and long-term operating costs.
