Wire Cutting
 
   
 

When accuracy counts you can rely on RPM International. For seven years we've used wire cutting to create some very intricate components, like the press-to-talk wedge assembly for Tait Electronics' T5000 radio. Because our clients demand accuracy, we give it to them. That's why we have the best wire cutting setup in New Zealand.

Our three machines - more than any other toolroom in New Zealand - ensure faster turnaround times for your job. The largest machine has a machining envelope of 800 x 400 x 400mm that cuts up to a 30-degree incline.

To ensure optimum accuracy these machines are located in our purpose built 100 m2 20°C climate-controlled wirecut room. The room's floor is also isolated from the rest of the factory to eliminate vibration.

Our equipment and expertise means we use wire cutting not only for press and mould tooling, but also extrusion dies, form tools (including carbide), vacuum tubes, splines and gears.

You can cut any shape geometrically possible thanks to our offline CADCAM programming, developed in-house. Add to that high accuracy and exceptional surface finishing, and you've got top quality components - even tiny ones - on spec, on time.
