Alps Merchandising provides a complete EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) service — wire cutting, die sinking and small-hole drilling. We specialise in precision cutting of hardened tool steel, carbide and titanium for press dies, plastic mold tooling and precision components. Accepting DXF, DWG and step files.
Wire EDM Services
Wire EDM — 2D Profile Cutting
2D contour cutting of hardened tool steel, carbide, titanium and stainless by wire erosion. No mechanical force on workpiece.
Wire Ø0.1–0.3mm · Tolerance: ±0.003mm · Taper cutting available
Wire EDM — Taper Cutting
Angled wire EDM cuts for die inserts, punches and extrusion dies requiring taper relief.
Taper angle: ±15° · Hardened tool steel, carbide
Wire EDM — Stack Cutting
Multiple thin workpieces stacked and cut simultaneously. Efficient for production of identical profiles.
Reduces per-part cost on repetitive shapes
Wire EDM — Fine Finishing
Multi-pass skim cutting for surface finish Ra 0.2–0.4μm. Dimensional accuracy ±0.002mm.
For gauging, precision inserts and mold cavities
Sinker / Die-Sinking EDM
Sinker EDM — Cavity Sinking
3D cavity shapes sunk into hardened steel using a graphite or copper electrode. For mold cavities and die sinking.
Electrode: graphite or copper · Surface Ra 0.4–3.2μm
Small Hole EDM Drilling
Precision small-hole EDM for start holes, cooling holes and through-holes in hardened materials.
Hole Ø0.3–3mm · Depth: up to 100× diameter
EDM Surface Texturing
Controlled EDM texturing of mold faces for matt or stippled surface finish on plastic parts.
Texture depth and pattern to specification
EDM Applications
Press Die Components
Wire EDM of punch profiles, die buttons and blanking dies in SKD11/SKH51 tool steel and carbide.
Accuracy: ±0.003mm · Hardened to 60+ HRC
Plastic Mold Inserts
Wire EDM and sinker EDM for precision mold inserts, slides, cores and cavity blocks.
Complex 3D profiles in P20 / H13 / S136 tool steel
Prototype & R&D Parts
Single-piece or small-batch EDM cutting of prototype and development parts from any electrically conductive material.
