Mitsubishi EDM/Laser

"EDM laser" is a common but technically imprecise term since EDM doesn't use lasers; it uses electrical discharges between an electrode and workpiece submerged in dielectric fluid to erode material. People often use the term interchangeably with EDM machining because both are non-contact, high-precision cutting methods, though they rely on entirely different physical processes.

Pricing varies widely based on model, condition, and configuration. For example, a used 1997 FX10 Wire EDM starts around $14,500, while new machines like the MV1200S require custom quotes based on specifications and features. Contact WSM Technology for current demo pricing, volume discounts, and financing options tailored to your application.

Wire EDM uses a thin traveling wire electrode to cut through conductive material, making it ideal for intricate 2D and 3D profiles, tapers, and complex geometries. Sinker EDM, or die sinking, uses a shaped electrode plunged into the workpiece to create cavities and complex 3D forms, commonly used for mold cavity and core production.

Yes. WSM Technology offers Encore refurbished machines from MC Machinery alongside new Mitsubishi models, giving manufacturers flexible options at different price points. Refurbished machines receive OEM replacement parts, local training, and on-site service support, providing the same reliability as a new machine purchase at a reduced cost.

Every new machine purchase includes installation, local training, and technical support from WSM Technology's team across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Customers also gain access to test cut services, time studies, application support, and an ongoing supply of EDM consumables like wire, filters, and resin tanks to minimize downtime.

Wire EDM and Sinker EDM machines require regular replacement of consumables including brass or coated EDM wire, dielectric filters, and resin tanks. WSM Technology supplies these consumables through its CPG Department, compatible with Mitsubishi machines and most other EDM brands, helping minimize unplanned downtime and maintain consistent cut quality.
