What is sparking machine?

A sparking machine is also called an EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) machine, used in the manufacturing industry to create complex shapes, holes, and cavities in metals and other materials. It works by eroding the workpiece using electric discharge or spark erosion.

The machine is composed of a tool and a workpiece, which are submerged in a dielectric fluid, usually oil, to avoid sparking and provide cooling. The tool, which is an electrode, is guided along the pre-programmed path and creates a spark gap between itself and the workpiece. The sparks create heat, melting the workpiece, and eroding the material away.

EDM is used in industries such as aerospace, medical, and tooling to create complex geometries in materials that would otherwise be difficult to machine using traditional techniques. It is also used to create molds, dies, and other parts that require high precision.

Overall, a sparking machine is an important tool for creating complex shapes and features in materials, improving efficiency and accuracy in manufacturing processes.
