What is a Sinker EDM Machine?
A Sinker EDM machine, also known as a die-sinking EDM, uses a shaped electrode and controlled spark erosion to machine complex 3D shapes into electrically conductive materials. The process enables precise machining of hardened steel, tungsten carbide, Inconel, titanium, and more—ideal for parts that are difficult or impossible to mill using traditional methods.
Key Features of Our CNC Sinker EDM Machines
- High-Speed Jump Technology: Reduces cycle time and improves flushing efficiency with high-speed jump movement during machining. Ensures faster debris removal and better spark stability.
- Adaptive Anti-Arc System: Prevents electrode damage and ensures a stable machining environment by automatically adjusting sparking parameters during erosion.
- Intelligent CNC Controller: User-friendly touch screen interface with GURU-based programming for faster job setup, real-time monitoring, and an intuitive learning curve for operators.
- C-Axis Rotary Function (Optional): Enables indexing and rotating the electrode during machining—ideal for multi-surface cavity EDMing and complex electrode applications.
- Auto Tool Changer (Optional): Facilitates unmanned operations and productivity for longer run jobs. Perfect for mould makers and high-volume tool rooms.
- Linear Optical Scales for Precision: Ensures micron-level accuracy across X, Y, Z axes, reducing thermal drift and increasing dimensional reliability.

Sinker EDM vs Wire EDM – Which One to Choose?
While Wire EDM is suitable for through cuts and profiles, Sinker EDM is the go-to choice for complex internal cavities, closed pockets, and 3D shapes. If your part requires no through holes, tight corner radii, or high aspect ratio cavities, Sinker EDM is the preferred solution.

FAQs
- What is the difference between Sinker EDM and Wire EDM?Sinker EDM is used for creating complex internal cavities and 3D shapes using a shaped electrode. It is ideal for moulds, dies, and closed pockets. Wire EDM, on the other hand, is used for cutting profiles through materials using a thin wire, and it is best suited for through cuts and contours.
- What materials can be machined using Sinker EDM?Sinker EDM can machine any electrically conductive material, including hardened tool steel, titanium, Inconel, tungsten carbide, graphite, copper, and aluminium alloys.
- What is the typical surface finish achieved with a Sinker EDM machine?With modern CNC Sinker EDM machines, you can achieve surface finishes as fine as 0.2 to 0.3 Ra µm, depending on the material, electrode, and final pass settings.
- How accurate are your CNC Sinker EDM machines?Our CNC Sinker EDM machines offer high precision with positioning accuracy and repeatability up to ±1 micron. Features like linear optical scales and closed-loop controls ensure dimensional consistency.
- Do you provide installation, training, and after-sales service in India?Yes, we offer complete support including installation, operator training, maintenance guidance, and after-sales service across India.
