Mitsubishi EDM Hole Poppers

Mitsubishi hole popper systems are engineered for high repeatability and can achieve tight positional tolerances suitable for mold and die work. Combined with Mitsubishi's Fanuc or Mitsubishi 32-bit CNC control systems, these machines maintain consistent hole diameter and straightness across production runs.

EDM hole poppers can drill any electrically conductive material regardless of hardness, including hardened tool steels, carbide, titanium, and Inconel. Since the process uses electrical discharge rather than mechanical cutting force, hardness does not affect drilling speed or tool wear the way it would with conventional drills.

Yes, hole poppers typically use brass or copper tube electrodes along with dielectric fluid, filters, and resin for water treatment. WSM Technology supplies EDM consumables including wire, filters, and resin tanks to keep your hole popper running at peak performance.

Hole popper machines are most valuable for drilling holes after heat treatment, since the EDM process is unaffected by material hardness. This eliminates the need to pre-drill before hardening and avoids distortion issues, saving time in mold and die production workflows.

WSM Technology provides installation, local training, advanced training, application engineering support, and technical sales support with every machine. Warranties typically range from one to three years depending on the model, and test cuts can be arranged at our demonstration center.

A hole popper is specialized for quickly drilling small-diameter starter holes, often to prepare a workpiece for wire EDM threading, while sinker and wire EDM machines perform full cavity or contour erosion. Hole poppers prioritize drilling speed and hole quality over complex shape generation.
