Advanced Sodick Wire EDM Machines & Comprehensive Production Processes

As a professional wire EDM mold parts manufacturer, we have invested heavily in equipment upgrades, owning 10 sets of Japanese Sodick high-precision slow wire EDM machines (models: ALC600G, ALC800G) and multiple sets of Chinese-brand medium and fast wire EDM machines. The Sodick slow wire EDM machines are renowned globally for their ultra-high precision and stability, featuring a minimum machining tolerance of ±0.001mm, surface roughness up to Ra≤0.1μm, and high-speed machining efficiency of 300mm²/min. These advanced machines, operated by our technical team with 8+ years of Sodick equipment operation experience, ensure consistent machining quality for complex mold parts.


Our production process for wire EDM precision mold parts is fully visualized and strictly standardized, covering the entire chain from raw material input to finished product delivery:

  • Material Selection & Pre-Inspection: Sourcing high-quality mold materials from certified suppliers (e.g., Japan Daido, Germany Thyssenkrupp), conducting strict chemical composition analysis and hardness testing to ensure material uniformity and stability. Common materials include mold steel, carbide, and stainless steel, all accompanied by material test certificates (MTC).

  • Wire EDM Machining: For high-precision requirements, adopt Sodick slow wire EDM machines for multi-pass machining (rough machining, semi-finish machining, finish machining); for general precision requirements, use medium/fast wire EDM machines to balance cost and efficiency. The machining process is equipped with real-time monitoring systems to avoid machining deviations.

  • Secondary Machining (Optional): Supplementary processes such as CNC milling, grinding, and drilling to complete complex mold structures (e.g., mold cavities, core holes) that cannot be achieved by wire EDM alone.

  • Surface Treatment: Customizable surface treatment processes based on mold application scenarios, including polishing, nitriding, chrome plating, and PVD coating, to enhance wear resistance and corrosion resistance of mold parts.

  • Multi-Stage Quality Inspection: Utilizing advanced testing equipment such as coordinate measuring machines (CMM), optical comparators, and surface roughness testers to conduct 100% inspection of dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and geometric tolerance of finished parts. Unqualified products are strictly eliminated.

  • Packaging & Shipping Preparation: Adopt anti-rust packaging (vacuum packaging + moisture-proof paper + wooden cases) to avoid rust and collision damage during transportation. Complete customs clearance documents (commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, MTC) are provided free of charge.

In addition to wire EDM machining, we also provide one-stop mold manufacturing solutions including mold design, prototype making, and mold assembly, fully meeting the diverse needs of customers.

Customer Case

A leading automotive mold manufacturer from South Korea approached us for custom high-precision mold inserts for their new energy vehicle battery case mold. The core requirements included a dimensional tolerance of ±0.002mm, surface roughness Ra≤0.2μm, and a production cycle of 15 working days. After in-depth communication, we decided to use H13 mold steel and process it with Sodick slow wire EDM machines. Our technical team optimized the machining path to avoid thermal deformation, and completed the production 2 days ahead of schedule. The customer's on-site inspection showed that all parameters met the requirements, and the mold inserts performed stably in mass production. Since then, the customer has established a long-term cooperative relationship with us, with an annual order volume exceeding 150 sets of mold parts.
