single side assembly

Product Description

An EDM Single-Side Copper Guide Wheel is a specialized component used in Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), particularly in Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining). Here™s a breakdown of what it entails:

Key Components:

1. EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): EDM is a machining process that uses electrical discharges (sparks) to remove material from a workpiece. In Wire EDM, a thin wire is used as the electrode to cut through a conductive material, such as metal. The wire moves along the workpiece while being guided by a series of components.

2. Single-Side Copper Guide Wheel:

   • Guide Wheel: In a Wire EDM machine, guide wheels are used to precisely guide and control the movement of the wire during the machining process. These wheels help ensure that the wire follows the correct path without deviating, which is crucial for accurate cutting.
   • Single-Side: This refers to the design of the guide wheel. In this case, the wheel may only have one side that actively guides or supports the wire, as opposed to two-sided wheels that might offer support from both sides. The "single side" design can be beneficial for specific machine setups or to save space.
   • Copper Material: Copper is often used for EDM guide wheels because of its excellent electrical conductivity, thermal properties, and low wear. Copper is a good material for guiding the wire while ensuring minimal resistance and heat generation during the cutting process.
