Carlson was one of the pioneers in the early 1970’s utilizing the EDM process to accurately machine challenging shapes into hardened tool steel. Carlson has since transformed the EDM process from art into science, deftly using EDM as a surgical tool when accuracy, productivity, and lead time challenges need a solution.
Armed with advanced technology in CAD, CAM, unattended 3D electrode cutting, 3D laser scanning of completed electrodes, and automatic electrode tool changers, Carlson has the complete EDM solution.
Wire EDM has many creative uses for tooling and production components. Imagine the geometric possibilities that can be created with two independent wire paths on two separate planes, with +/- 0.0002″ accuracy. We have the manpower, methods, and machines to do it for you.
Customized electrodes are precisely sculpted to suit the EDM process. Carlson technicians have automated the manufacturing processes to yield above 99% 1st time correct electrode accuracies.
The EDM process is highly predictable, often continuing for many hours without intervention. Electrode wear is also predictable during the burning process, and electrode tool changers greatly extend the unattended EDM process, resulting in lower costs. Carlson technicians use this productivity tool whenever the EDM conditions warrant.
