Wire EDM: 6 Month Service

What we typically cover in a 6 Month service

Our 6-month service is designed to keep your wire erosion machine operating accurately, reliably and safely between major service intervals.

Carried out by experienced EDM specialists, this service focuses on inspection, adjustment and preventative maintenance. Addressing issues early to minimise downtime and protect machining accuracy.

When we visit your site, you can be confident your machine will be serviced to a high professional standard and maintained with the care it demands.

Dielectric Fluid Checks

Ensure cutting performance and stability are maintained.

We check dielectric fluid condition and resistivity, ensuring it remains within correct operating ranges to support consistent cutting and surface finish.

Outcome:
Stable cutting conditions and reduced risk of machining issues.

Upper & Lower Contacts / Electrode Pins

Inspect key wear components.

Upper and lower contacts and electrode pins are inspected for wear and condition, with replacements made where necessary.

Outcome:
Reliable electrical contact and consistent cutting performance.

Upper & Lower Guides – Check, Clean & Reset

Maintain cutting accuracy.

Guides are checked, cleaned and reset to ensure correct wire positioning and alignment during cutting.

Outcome:
Improved accuracy and reduced wire breakage.

Clean Arm & Seal Cover Plate

Protect moving components.

We clean the arm and seal cover plate to prevent contamination build-up that can affect machine movement and component life.

Outcome:
Smoother operation and improved component longevity.

Wire Tension – Check & Adjust

Maintain correct wire control.

Wire tension is checked and adjusted to manufacturer-recommended settings.

Outcome:
Consistent wire performance and improved surface finish.

Lead Screws & Slideways – Re-Greasing

Reduce wear and maintain smooth movement.

All lead screws and slideways across X, Y, U, V and Z axes are cleaned and re-greased.

Outcome:
Smooth axis movement and reduced mechanical wear.

Bearings - Inspection
‍
Identify early signs of wear.

Bearings across key areas of the machine are checked to identify any signs of wear or deterioration.
‍
Outcome:
Early detection of issues before they impact accuracy or uptime.

Consumables Inspection

Prevent avoidable failures.

All consumables are inspected and replaced where necessary.

Outcome:
Reliable machine operation and fewer unplanned interruptions.

The 6-month service provides essential maintenance to keep your wire EDM machine running reliably between major services, helping to protect accuracy and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime.
