Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-traditional machining process that removes metal through electrical sparks. Unlike conventional methods, it is not limited by material hardness and can precisely create deep cavities, micro-holes, and complex structures in hardened steel, tungsten carbide, or superalloys. The three main types of EDM include wire cutting, die-sinking, and hole drilling, which are widely applied in mold making, aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. Although EDM has a slower processing speed, works only with conductive materials, and requires consideration of electrode wear and surface treatment, its advantages in high precision, zero cutting force, and superior surface finish make it an indispensable technology in precision manufacturing. Moreover, it continues to evolve in line with the trend toward smart manufacturing.

Machine tools are the cornerstone of modern manufacturing, enabling precise cutting, forming, and machining of metals and other materials. During operation, these machines generate significant friction and cutting heat, which, without proper management, can lead to tool wear, workpiece deformation, and reduced machining accuracy. Lubrication and cooling systems are essential for mitigating these issues, with lubrication reducing friction and wear, and cooling dissipating heat to maintain thermal stability. Together, these systems enhance machining efficiency, extend equipment lifespan, and improve surface quality. Research indicates that effective lubrication and cooling can boost machining performance by up to 30%. This article explores the critical components—lubrication pumps, pipes, coolant pumps, and filters—while highlighting advanced techniques and future trends.
