WHEN STANDARD MACHINING
ISN'T ENOUGH

Many engineering projects involve intricate shapes, extreme tolerances, or materials too hard for traditional CNC milling or turning. These challenges can lead to production delays, compromised quality, and increased costs.

When you need to cut complex profiles, create sharp internal corners, or machine pre-hardened components without inducing stress, you need a more advanced solution.

THE CTS SOLUTION

Our specialist subcontract wire erosion service transforms complex designs into reality. Using a precisely controlled electrical spark, we erode conductive material with micron-level accuracy—non-contact, force-free, and flawless.

THE SODICK ADVANTAGE

Why we choose Sodick: The undisputed leader in EDM technology.

CTS (SODICK LINEAR)

  • Friction-Free DriveNo mechanical contact means zero wear and sustained accuracy for decades.
  • Zero BacklashDirect drive technology eliminates the backlash found in ball screws.
  • High Response SpeedInstantaneous reaction to spark gap conditions for a perfect finish.

STANDARD (BALL SCREW)

  • Mechanical WearBall screws degrade over time, leading to loss of precision.
  • Backlash IssuesMechanical play requires constant compensation and maintenance.
  • Slower ResponseMechanical lag results in slower cutting and rougher surfaces.
