CAM Tech Expands Manufacturing Capabilities with Micro Hole Drilling Services in Waukesha

CAM Tech, Inc., a longstanding wire EDM service provider since 1996, has announced the addition of micro hole drilling capabilities to its suite of services, catering to manufacturers in the Waukesha, Wisconsin area and across the Midwest. This advancement allows for the creation of starter holes in hard metals, facilitating the production of precise openings essential for various high-tech applications.

The integration of two EDM micro hole drilling stations enables the company to offer a two-step process that begins with EDM drilling, followed by wire EDM threading, achieving micron-level accuracy. This method is particularly beneficial for working with tough materials like titanium and carbide, minimizing mechanical stress and heat distortion.
