 The Hybrid Wire EDM machine is a combination of Sodick’s wire EDM and Flow International waterjet technology.
Wire EDMs have limited cutting speed due to the size of wire electrode
while waterjet machines have limited cutting accuracy due to the
waterjet itself. Sodick’s Hybrid Wire overcome these limitations by
combining the strength of the waterjet’s cutting speed and the wire
EDM’s cutting accuracy. The machine’s cutting speed and accuracy is
further increased with Sodick’s linear motor axis drives. Linear motor
drives enhance the waterjet’s cutting speed since they have higher axis
speed (1,440 in./min) and acceleration (1.2G) when compared to a
ballscrew driven machine.
