In modern manufacturing, the application of precision cutting technology has become more and more extensive, especially in the field of metal processing. With the continuous upgrading of industrial needs, Medium Speed ​​Wire Cutting technology has become an indispensable part of many industries with its high precision, efficiency and scope of application. Whether in mold manufacturing, electronic product processing, or in the aerospace and automotive industries, medium-speed wire cutting technology plays a vital role.
Medium-speed wire cutting technology, as the name suggests, is a technology for metal cutting based on the principle of electric spark discharge. Unlike traditional mechanical cutting, wire cutting uses electric current to pass through a thin metal wire to form electric sparks between the workpiece and the metal wire. These sparks quickly melt and evaporate the metal at high temperature, thereby accurately cutting the workpiece according to the predetermined trajectory. Compared with high-speed wire cutting, medium-speed wire cutting has a lower current intensity and a moderate cutting speed, which can not only ensure cutting accuracy, but also avoid overheating and deformation of the workpiece.
High precision: Medium-speed wire cutting technology can provide extremely high cutting accuracy, usually reaching the accuracy requirement of ±0.02mm. This makes it an ideal technology for industries that require high precision, such as mold manufacturing, electronic parts processing, etc.
Wide range of applications: Medium-speed wire cutting is suitable for a variety of materials, especially metal materials with higher hardness, such as steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, etc. Compared with other cutting methods, medium-speed wire cutting can easily cope with the cutting needs of various complex shapes and hardness materials.
Good cutting quality: The cutting surface produced by medium-speed wire cutting is relatively smooth and does not require too much post-processing. This can reduce unnecessary processing steps in the production process, saving time and cost.
Low heat-affected zone: Since the current during the cutting process is relatively low and the heat generated is less, medium-speed wire cutting can effectively reduce the impact of the heat-affected zone on the workpiece, thereby avoiding material deformation, annealing and other undesirable conditions.
Able to cut complex shapes: Medium-speed wire cutting can accurately cut complex two-dimensional or three-dimensional contours, suitable for making complex molds and precision parts, and meet the requirements of modern industry for complex shapes and high precision.

Medium-speed wire cutting technology is widely used in many industries due to its high efficiency and precision.
Mold manufacturing: In the mold manufacturing industry, especially in the production of plastic molds and stamping molds, medium-speed wire cutting is widely used to make complex mold structures. Since wire cutting technology can cut hard metals with high precision, it is very suitable for precision machining of molds.
Electronic product manufacturing: Electronic products, especially integrated circuits (ICs) and sensors, often require precision parts. These parts often have complex shapes and small size requirements, and medium-speed wire cutting can provide the required high-precision machining.
Automotive and aerospace: In the automotive and aerospace fields, many parts such as turbine blades, precision parts and structural parts need to be processed by medium-speed wire cutting technology. Medium-speed wire cutting can process complex shapes and has good adaptability to high-hardness metal materials.
Mold repair: Medium-speed wire cutting is also widely used in mold repair work. When the mold is damaged or worn, the damaged area can be repaired by wire cutting technology without making a new mold, thus saving time and cost.
Medical device manufacturing: In the medical device industry, many precision parts require high-precision cutting. The application of medium-speed wire cutting technology in this field helps to ensure the quality and safety of medical devices.
With the continuous advancement of technology, medium-speed wire cutting technology is also developing continuously. In the future, medium-speed wire cutting will pay more attention to the following aspects:
Automation and intelligence: With the rapid development of automation and intelligent manufacturing technology, medium-speed wire cutting technology will be further combined with systems such as robots and automated production lines to achieve a more efficient and precise production process.
Energy saving and environmental protection: The continuous tightening of environmental protection regulations has prompted the manufacturing industry to pay more attention to energy conservation and reduce environmental pollution. In the future, medium-speed wire cutting technology will pay more attention to energy conservation and emission reduction, and promote more environmentally friendly production processes.
Multifunctional integration: Modern manufacturing industry has higher and higher requirements for processing technology. In the future, medium-speed wire cutting equipment will develop towards multifunctionality, not only able to cut various complex shapes, but also able to combine other processing technologies (such as milling, drilling, etc.) to achieve one machine for multiple uses.
As a high-precision and high-efficiency metal processing technology, medium-speed wire cutting is widely used in multiple industries due to its advantages in precision manufacturing, and shows strong potential in the future manufacturing industry. With the continuous advancement of technology, medium-speed wire cutting will provide more efficient and sophisticated processing solutions for various industries, and promote the manufacturing industry to move towards higher precision and lower costs.
