Quality Check Parameters For Wire EDM Filters

Image
To achieve the ultimate capability and level of productivity from your wire EDM on a consistent, repeatable and reliable basis, regular maintenance is a required task. And one of the main components that require bi-monthly maintenance is the wire EDM filter. The filtration system on a wire EDM is fundamentally necessary because it controls the amount and size of particles/debris that can exist and be circulated through the flushing system during machining. If the debris is excessive or of a large particulate size then output will be very unstable and inefficient! Replacement of the main water filters will be required and should be performed as needed.  Most machines typically generate an alarm when the filters are depleted.  Replacement intervals are purely dictated by the type of work, work piece material and thickness, and applications being performed.  Many machines also contain a safety filter for the AWT system that will need replacing periodically (six to 12 months).  As Ankok, o
