Bright Sparks at Micro's

The New Wire Erode and Spark Erode Arrive



At Micro Metalmsiths we have been making our own tooling for over 20 years. Things have moved a long way from the times we used the Bridgeports and a good engineers eye.

Now with Cad models and 5 axis CNC machines utalised in our tooling manufacture we had just two areas that we had were forced to use sub contract manufacturing with wire and spark erodes.

We have now taken delivery of these machines and though not direct out of the box they are in perfect condition. They allow us to keep constant control of our tooling lead times for supply of samples. Coupled with the  ability to manufacture tools with a reduction of split lines and gerometry.

This is a major benfit to our customers who have a requirement for high cosmetic parts.

Both machines have been settled in and within 4 hours of release were running on tooling.

Just in time too as throuhout this year we have seen a 20% increase in new tools from our customers. This was peaked in august with a 30% increase in new tools.

We have even now utalised the machines on production castings and CNC machined parts.

Things look bright in the tool room for the rest of the year.
