Wire EDM: 12 Month Service

What we typically cover in a 12 Month service

Our annual service is a comprehensive, in-depth maintenance visit designed to restore, protect and optimise your wire erosion machine for the year ahead.

This service builds on the 6-month inspection, with deeper checks, adjustments and preventative maintenance to ensure long-term accuracy, reliability and machine health.

Comprehensive Dielectric System Checks

Maintain cutting quality and machine stability.

We carry out full dielectric fluid checks, ensuring resistivity and system performance meet required standards.

Outcome:
Optimised cutting conditions and consistent machining results.

Upper & Lower Contacts /
Electrode Pins

Replace worn components before failure.

All contact points and electrode pins are thoroughly inspected and replaced where required.

Outcome:
Stable electrical performance and reduced risk of cut-quality issues.

Upper & Lower Guides –
Detailed Inspection & Reset

Guides are cleaned, checked for wear and precisely reset to maintain alignment and machining accuracy.

Outcome:
Improved precision and reduced scrap risk.

Arm & Seal Cover Plate –
Clean & Inspect

Protect machine internals.

Arm assemblies and seal cover plates are cleaned and inspected for damage or wear.

Outcome:
Improved protection of moving components and longer service life.

Wire Tension System –
Check & Calibration

Ensure consistent wire performance.

Wire tension is checked and adjusted across the full operating range.

Outcome:
Reliable cutting conditions across different job types.

Lead Screws & Slideways –
Full Re-Greasing

Preserve mechanical accuracy.

All axis lead screws and slideways (X, Y, U, V and Z) are thoroughly cleaned and re-greased.

Outcome:
Smooth, accurate axis movement and reduced wear.

Bearings – Full Inspection

Identify long-term mechanical issues.

Bearings in key areas of the machine are inspected to assess condition and identify potential future issues.

Outcome:
Increased machine reliability and reduced risk of unplanned breakdowns.

Consumables –
Inspection & Replacement

Ensure readiness for production.

All consumables are inspected and replaced as required to leave the machine production-ready.

Outcome:
Confidence that the machine is ready for continued use.
‍

The annual service provides a thorough, preventative maintenance programme that helps extend machine life, protect accuracy and ensure consistent performance throughout the year.

It is the recommended service interval for businesses that rely on wire erosion machining as a critical part of their production process.
