JOIN US and we can offer you an opportunity to work in a high-tech, specialist company working with some of the best global names in aerospace, medical and clean energy.

The EDM tooling we design can hold up to 49 electrodes as small as diameter 0,25mm by 700mm long, eject & replenish the electrodes automatically, rotates at 1000 rpm, uses deionised water at 95 bar pressure, & supplies 300 volts / 30 amps of electrical current to the electrode. All of this in something as small as a thermos flask.
