EDM Wire Erosion

WES Engineering provides high-precision CNC wire EDM (wire erosion) services in the UK, delivering accurate, repeatable cutting for complex profiles, tight tolerances, and hard materials.

Our capability includes AGIE CUT 20P and AGIE CUT 30P wire EDM machines from GF AgieCharmilles, offering reliable performance and high cutting accuracy for precision components. These machines utilise advanced generator technology and automatic wire threading, enabling efficient, lights-out machining with consistent results.

Wire EDM is ideal for producing intricate profiles, sharp internal corners, and fine features in conductive materials, without inducing mechanical stress. The process is particularly suited to hardened steels and high-performance alloys where conventional machining is limited.

Typical accuracies down to ±2–5 microns can be achieved depending on geometry and material. Capacity includes axis travels up to 350mm (X), 250mm (Y), and 250mm (Z) on the CUT 20P, with larger workpiece capability on the CUT 30P. Maximum workpiece sizes up to approximately 1030mm x 800mm x 350mm and weights up to 1000kg can be accommodated.

We machine a wide range of materials including tool steels, stainless steels, titanium, tungsten, carbide, and Inconel, supporting demanding applications across aerospace, defence, tooling, and precision engineering sectors.
