ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING (EDM) HAS BECOME THE MOST WIDELY USED NON-TRADITIONAL MACHINING TECHNIQUE. AS A THERMAL METAL REMOVAL PROCESS, THE PROCESS CAUSES METALLURGICAL CHANGES TO THE WORKPIECE MATERIAL--CHANGES WHICH CAN ALTER THE STRENGTH AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPONENT IN USE. THREE AUTOMATED FINISHING PROCESSES OFFER EXCELLENT ACCURACIES COMBINED WITH SHORT CYCLE TIMES. EACH OF THESE AUTOMATED PROCESSES OFFERS A LEVEL OF CONSISTENCY AND REPEATABILITY NOT POSSIBLE WITH OTHER FINISHING METHODS.
