SINKER EDM SERVICES

Sinker EDM – Precision Cavity & Complex Geometry Machining

Our Sinker EDM service offers the ability to create complex internal cavities, blind slots, deep pockets, and intricate 3D geometries with high repeatability and minimal mechanical stress. Because the process uses a shaped electrode submerged in dielectric fluid, not a cutting tool, we can machine hard materials, deep slots, and complex shapes that are virtually impossible with conventional milling or turning.

Whether you need mold cavities, die inserts, tooling pockets, custom components, or deep internal features, our Sinker EDM cell is engineered to deliver consistent quality, sharp internal corners, and reliable surface integrity.

Why Sinker EDM Matters for Modern Manufacturing

Sinker EDM enables us to produce internal geometries, blind cavities, undercuts, deep ribs and complex 3D features with precision and consistency, independent of material hardness. It excels especially where traditional machining would struggle — for example, in hardened tool steels, stainless steels, exotic alloys, or carbide. The non-contact spark erosion process avoids mechanical stress or distortion, which means parts can be machined even after heat treatment. Additionally, the use of a shaped electrode means we can replicate complex negative forms (mold cavities, dies, inserts) exactly, resulting in parts with highly accurate internal dimensions, sharp corners, and clean finishes.

Our Sinker EDM Capabilities

The primary technical capabilities of our Sinker EDM equipment, covering part size, accuracy, wire options, and compatible materials.

Work Envelope & Part Capacity

Our Sinker EDM systems support a generous machining envelope, with an approximate working range of 13.8–23.6 in, 9.8–15.7 in, and 9.8–14.5 in, and the ability to handle workpieces up to 1,760 lbs, we can accommodate substantial components.

Precision Tolerances & Accuracy

Sinker EDM provides highly controlled spark erosion that maintains dimensional integrity throughout deep or complex cavities. Typical tolerance capability ranges around ±0.0002″–±0.0005″ depending on cavity depth, electrode geometry, and finishing passes. 

Wire Size & Surface Finish Capability

Using graphite or copper electrodes ranging from small precision forms to large cavity tools, our sinker EDM process can achieve fine surface finishes down to ~12–16 Ra, with even finer results possible through extended finishing cycles.

Material Compatibility & Hardness Range

Sinker EDM is fully capable of machining any electrically conductive material, regardless of hardness. This includes tool steels up to 70+ HRC, stainless steels, titanium, nickel alloys, carbide, copper, and brass
