Sodick wire EDM used for tool-part production

By Sodi-tech EDM on 24th June 201015th December 2015

Product Details Supplier Info More products

Forrest Tools and Pressings, a Birmingham-based press tool manufacturer, has taken delivery of second pre-owned Sodick wire EDM supplied by Sodi-tech.

In November 2009, Forrest Tools acquired a refurbished Sodick A535, a slightly larger submerged wire EDM with automatic wire feed to help the company meet growing demand from the automotive sector.

The recently installed Sodick A535 is being used in the production of various press tool parts, such as dies and punches – all manufactured from hardened tool steel to demanding tolerances and surface finishes.

Many of the press tools are large and, as a result, they are designed and manufactured in sections so they can be accommodated by the Sodick EDMs and are easier to manoeuvre.

Most of the parts are one-offs, although sometimes spares are manufactured.
