Electrochemical Cutting and Grinding
Electrochemical Cutting & Grinding (ECG) combines low voltage, high current electrical energy and chemical processes to cut and shape metals with minimal mechanical stress. This technique is highly effective for materials that are difficult to machine and is often used for parts with stringent tolerances and smooth surface finishes. ECG is the top choice for producing small, precise parts required in the medical industry, ensuring low surface damage and high precision.
Highlights
- Fast, cost-effective cutting and grinding for metals regardless of their hardness or strength
- Electrical energy combines with chemical energy to make tight-tolerance cuts with no stress, burrs, or mechanical distortions
- Cuts can be so precise they do not require expensive, labor-intensive secondary processes
- Cutting diameter .012” to 1.0”. Tolerance: length .003” and +/- 1 degree of perpendicularity.
Examples of use
- Precise windows and slots in thin-walled tubing used in single-use devices
- Complex needle point geometries
- Suturing devices with intricate features
- Chisels, drivers, shavers and many other sharp devices
