Our technicians can do more with our high-end machines than the supplier ever developed them for.
Ten Vaarwerk has machinery for various metal machining techniques, both general and precision. These machines enable us to work on large and very small objects with great accuracy. We utilize these techniques for complete projects as well as partial operations. Our technicians are capable of achieving more with our high-end machinery than the manufacturer originally intended. Our commitment is to provide our customers with the optimal solutions, and we continue to advance our capabilities.
Machine Park
Our technicians can push the capabilities of our high-end machinery beyond the manufacturer’s initial specifications. Our ongoing goal is to provide the best solutions to our customers, and we are dedicated to continuous improvement.
High-Speed Milling
The application of high-speed milling, or high-speed machining, is relatively recent at Ten Vaarwerk. While it allows for faster execution of existing operations, our primary focus lies in enhancing surface quality and precision. Many of these improvements result from collaborative projects with our clients.
Wire EDM
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) can be likened to precise metal contour cutting. A very thin wire, charged with high voltage, moves through the metal, eroding material as it goes. It can be used to extract various geometric shapes, such as rectangles, circles, cones, or combinations thereof, from electrically conductive materials. This technique is employed when an exceptionally high level of precision is required.
Zinc Spark Erosion
In zinc spark erosion, an electrode, typically made of graphite, is immersed into the metal like a stamp. When a short circuit occurs, metal is eroded, creating a cavity. The electrode is initially milled from graphite as the negative of the final shape. This technique allows us to erode larger flat surfaces as well as drill very small holes in metal.
(Electrode) Milling
In zinc spark erosion, we use an electrode, which is fully automated to mill from graphite as the negative of the final shape. For this purpose, we have specialized equipment and the necessary expertise in-house. The machines are equipped with additional extraction systems to remove the fine dust generated during graphite milling.
Profile Grinding
Grinding metal results in a precise and smooth surface. Profile grinding is typically the final machining step. By using a grinding wheel to shape a workpiece into a geometric form, we create a specific profile.
