Fabrication
From machine to machine
For many parts of the movement, multiple work steps on different machine tools are required. Bridges or levers are pre-milled on the CNC Machine and then cut out on the wireerosion machine. In this process, a 0.07 mm or 0.1 mm fine, positive electric wire in a stream of deionised water cuts through the negatively charged workpiece. Thanks to the different polarities, a minute spark jumps between the wire and workpiece, melting and vaporising the material.
