Our engineers can do more with our high-end machines than the manufacturers ever imagined when they designed them.
Ten Vaarwerk has machines for a wide range of precision metalworking techniques. This allows us to process both large and very small objects to a high degree of accuracy. We use these techniques for complete projects as well as for individual operations. Our engineers can do more with our high-end machines than the manufacturers ever imagined when they designed them. We want to offer our customers the best solution every time, so we are constantly developing.

High-speed milling
High-speed milling is a relatively new process at Ten Vaarwerk. This process enables existing operations to be done faster, but what is most interesting for us is the improvement in surface quality and the precision it can achieve. Many developments come about through the projects we carry out together with our customers.
Wire spark erosion
The technique of wire spark erosion can be compared with precision sawing of metal with a jigsaw. A very thin wire with a high-voltage charge moves through the metal, eroding material as it goes. Any geometric figures, from rectangles to circles, cones or combinations of shapes, can be created in electrically conductive materials. This technique is used when an extremely high degree of precision is required.
Spark erosion
With spark erosion, an electrode made of a material such as graphite sinks into the metal like a stamp. A short circuit is created which erodes the metal, producing a cavity. The electrode is first milled as a negative of the final shape in graphite. With this technique, we can not only erode larger areas but can also drill very small holes in metal.
Electrode machining
Spark erosion involves the use of an electrode which is produced fully automatically as a negative of the final shape in graphite. We have our own specially equipped machines and the necessary expertise to be able to perform this delicate task. The machines are equipped with an extra extraction system to remove the fine dust that is released when the graphite is milled.
Profile grinding
Grinding metal produces a precise, smooth surface. Profile grinding is usually the last operation to be carried out on the workpiece. We create a profile by grinding the workpiece into a geometric shape with a grinding disc.
