5-Axis Machining & EDM for Production Parts

The same 5-axis, EDM and inspection capacity that has produced die casting tooling components since 1995 is available for your build-to-print parts — from small precision components to large workpieces up to 2,000 mm, in prototype quantities or repeat production runs.

What We Machine for Equipment Builders

Palcam works from your drawings and models. We program, machine, EDM, inspect and ship — we do not design your part. That makes us a fit for OEMs and their Tier suppliers who need a dependable source for complex machined components, wire-cut and sinker-EDM features, and repeat orders of the same part numbers.

Large 5-Axis Parts

DMG MORI DMU P-series centres, including a DMU 200P with 1800 × 2000 × 1100 mm travel and 5,000 kg table capacity, plus DMU 160U, DMU 125P and DMU 100P. Multi-face machining of large housings, blocks, bodies and plates in fewer setups.

Small to Medium Precision Parts

8 DMG MORI eVo (eVo 50/70/80), 4 DMU monoBlock (75/85) and 4 GROB G326 five-axis centres. Groups of like machines let us run the same job on more than one spindle.

Wire EDM

Sodick ALN800G large wire EDM (40" × 60" tank, 20" cut height, 3-ton table capacity), AGIE CUT and AGIE PROGRESS. Profiles, slots, pockets and precision holes in hardened steel, with accurate size and location.

Sinker EDM

Sodick LN2 sinker EDM with linear-motor drives, for features that cannot be machined or wire-cut.

Production & Repeat Runs

Prototype to 5,000+ piece runs with full dimensional inspection. M&H probing on every machine for in-process verification.

Inspection You Can Audit

Three CMMs, including a Hexagon GLOBAL Speed with HP-L-10.10 laser scanner capturing 600,000 points per second, a Hexagon GLOBAL S SCAN+ and a Brown & Sharpe MISTRAL. In-house hardness testing.

Full fleet details on the Equipment page.

Materials & Quality

We machine and wire-cut tool steels, including H-13 and other hot-work tool steels in the hardened condition, as well as aluminum structural and housing components.

Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Bureau Veritas Certification. We work to your drawing, specification and quality plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Palcam take build-to-print production work outside die casting tooling?

Yes. Our 5-axis CNC centres, wire and sinker EDM and CMM inspection are available for build-to-print components, from prototype quantities to repeat production runs of 5,000+ pieces. Send your package to sales@palcam.com.

What is the largest part Palcam can machine?

Our largest machine is a DMG MORI DMU 200P with 1800 × 2000 × 1100 mm travel and a 5,000 kg table capacity. For wire EDM, our Sodick ALN800G has a 40" × 60" tank, 20" cut height and 3-ton table capacity.

Do you offer both wire EDM and sinker EDM?

Yes. We run three wire EDM machines (Sodick ALN800G, AGIE CUT, AGIE PROGRESS) and a Sodick LN2 sinker EDM.

Is Palcam ISO 9001 certified?

Yes. Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Bureau Veritas Certification.
