EDM Hole Drilling
Accurate Machine of Burr-Free Holes and Ports
Component Supply provides precision EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) services for small, intricate, and hard-to-machine metal components used in medical devices, research applications, and industrial assemblies. Our EDM processes allow for fast, accurate, and burr-free machining of holes, slots, windows, and complex features in metal tubing and wire while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances.
EDM machining is especially valuable for delicate or miniature components where traditional machining methods may introduce excessive burrs, mechanical stress, or deformation. By using controlled electrical discharges rather than direct cutting forces, EDM enables highly precise feature creation in stainless steel, Nitinol, and other conductive specialty alloys commonly used in minimally invasive devices.
Our EDM capabilities support:
- Cross holes in hypotubes
- Micro holes in wire and tubing
- Slotting and window features
- Complex cut patterns
- Tight-tolerance machining
- Burr-free feature creation
- Thin-wall tubing applications
- Precision prototype development
EDM machining is commonly used in:
- Catheter shaft development
- Steerable device components
- Guidewire and core wire features
- Drug delivery systems
- Fluid management pathways
- Minimally invasive surgical devices
- Sensor integration points
- Tight-clearance assemblies
Following EDM processing, components can be further customized through cutting, grinding, tip forming, bending, welding, passivation, and other secondary fabrication operations to support complete device assemblies and production requirements.
