Electrical Discharge Machining: Wire cutting

Wire EDM is another variation which is conducted while submerged in purified water (deionized). The water’s conductivity makes for a great dielectric environment for EDM.  The purified water also works as a coolant and helps erode irregularities in the material.



Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) wire cutting uses a metallic wire to cut out a programmed predetermined form out of a part. Dies used for extrusions are commonly machined using wire cutting.  Before machining it is important to decide whether we need to start from a drilled hole or from an edge of material. 

A clear representation of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining

On the area that is being machined, the discharge from the machining creates a crater and this will impact on the tool.  The wire can also be angled, which makes it possible to taper parts or create different profiles at the top and bottom.  The wire itself is made usually of a metal such as brass or stratified copper and sits between 0.1 – 0.3 mm in diameter. 
For more information and all your EDM needs the team at ALNO Product Services are happy to help.

Astra Convertible Roof Stuck

There seems to be some mechanics purchasing Chinese latches and or patching broken hose that is ten years old.

And in some cases claiming that there is a ALNO Product Services warranty.

Please note that only customers that buy from ALNO Product Services are offered our 2 year warranty for TS Astra and AH Astra convertible Roof Parts.

There is only a limited instance where ALNO Trained mechanics are fitting Astra convertible roof parts.  

If there is any uncertainty please feel free to call or get in contact with the team at ALNO Product Services.

 

If your roof has stopped working and you are looking to get it moving again it is best to call ALNO Product Services in the first instance.

This reduces the risk of any potential damage as many mechanics and or Holden Dealerships have limited experience on working the Electric / Hydraulic roof systems.

For the eastern states of Australia ALNO Product Services Team members can visit your home or place of business and repair your roofs.
