CHMER ( Shim-mer ) EDM held a celebration on November 4, 2005 to celebrate 30 years manufacturing EDMs. CHMER have grown from a small family EDM manufacturing company to the largest EDM builder in Taiwan. With their five manufacturing plants and over 500 people, CHMER now produce over 1,500 EDMs annually.

CHMER offers the most complete EDM product mix with over 45 different models of EDMs – Wire EDMs, ZNC and CNC Sinker EDMs plus Manual and CNC Small Hole EDM Drillers.

LINEAR GLASS SCALES

CHMER EDM announce the introduction of new Linear Glass Scale option to their complete line of wire EDMs.

Effective immediately all of their new model CW-420HS, CW-530HS, CW-640HS, CW-850HS and CW-1065HS wire EDMs will be available with optional Fagor .5mm ( 20 millionths ) resolution Linear Glass Scales. In addition to making the table positioning a full closed-loop system for improved accuracy, the Linear Glass Scales will help assure long term accuracy as ball screws eventually wear.

The Fagor Linear Glass Scales have been used on all the CHMER CNC EDM sinker EDMs for the last five years and come standard on the CNC sinkers.

WORLD'S FASTEST AUTOMATIC WIRE THREADER

CHMER EDM announce the introduction of latest version 3.0 Automatic Wire Threader . In addition to being the only AWT on the market that can rethread a broken wire, on location and underwater , the new 3.0 version AWT will draw, anneal, melt off the tip of the wire, and rethread - all in under seven seconds!

This new dry type AWT will save time well beyond the seven second rethread time by not having to go back to the start point, which on a large profile could be a long way, drain the work tank, rethread, dry run back to the break point, refill the work tank, and only then resume cutting.

The new 3.0 Automatic Wire Threader from CHMER - a true time saving advancement!
