Benefits of PECM

ETMM: What are the benefits of using PECM versus conventional machining processes?

Matt: Reduction in process steps, PECM creates finished features like shapes, holes free from burrs in a single step. Superior surface finish up to 0.05 μm beside 2 - 5 μm tolerance. Parts are free from any oxide layers & free from any tension. As the electrode does not touch the part, the process does not care about material properties (hard , soft, rigid etc. ) and accordingly offers capabilities unreached by other processes. The running cost are very attractive, so are the cycle times: multiple parts can be machined within one cycle.

ETMM: What is the potential of PECM technology in the market?

Matt: PECM has the ability to become more than a niche technology, as it delivers precise products with almost no post-processing effort (deburring, finishing) independent from material hardness, which is the base for lower-cost part production compared to traditional machining.
