Without clean dielectric, microscopic particles present in the oil can interfere with effective machining of the workpiece. If present in sufficient quantities, the frequency of discharge will be reduced and the electrode will back away from the cut. Transor’s One Micron Filtration (OMF) helps to eliminate this contamination contributing to efficient performance at optimum machining speed.

This results in:

Improved Accuracy
Geometric shapes may be deformed and tolerances not achieved when dielectric is contaminated by conductive particles. Achieve the repeatability and close tolerance requirements of multi-cavity mold applications.

Reduced Pitting = Reduced Polishing
Particles bridging the gap between the electrode and workpiece convert the AC current used in EDM to DC current. This causes a concentrated discharge, resulting in arcing and pitting that damages the electrode or the workpiece. With OMF, dielectric provides a more consistent current allows finer surface finishes that reduce polishing time.
