EDM Zap designs and builds multi-head and multi-lead EDM systems that machine multiple features or cavities simultaneously — cutting cycle times dramatically and maximizing output per shift.

Custom Engineered Solutions
Standard single-head EDM is a one-at-a-time process. For high-volume production, that’s a constraint. Multi-head and multi-lead configurations break that constraint — running multiple electrodes simultaneously so you’re machining two, four, or more features in the time it previously took to machine one.
EDM Zap engineers multi-head systems from the ground up around your specific part geometry, electrode layout, and production targets. Whether you need dual-head sinker EDM for symmetric die cavities, or a fully custom multi-lead array for a complex aerospace component, we design the machine and the process together.
The result is a step-change in throughput — not incremental improvement. Customers regularly see cycle time reductions of 50–80% per part when moving from single-head to a purpose-built multi-head configuration.
Configuration Range
Two-electrode sinker EDM for symmetric parts — die cavities, mold features, or paired components machined simultaneously with matched power and positioning.
Four, six, or more electrodes in a single setup for maximum throughput. Each lead independently controlled for depth, power, and cycle time — ideal for high-volume aerospace and medical production.
Rotating electrode head configurations for radial features — ideal for components requiring identical geometry at multiple angular positions around a central axis.
No standard configuration fits your part? We engineer a bespoke multi-head setup from scratch. Frame, electrode array, power supply, and process — designed and built as a complete system.

What's Included
Each head individually positioned and powered to match your part geometry — consistent depth, discharge, and surface finish across every electrode simultaneously.
Each lead runs on its own power channel — allowing different parameters per electrode for parts with varying cavity depths, geometries, or material conditions.
Custom fixture design ensures part location and electrode alignment are repeatable to micron-level accuracy across every production run.
Every multi-head system ships with a factory-matched Advantage series power supply — calibrated to the specific electrode count and process parameters of your application.
We don’t just build the machine — we develop the process. Electrode design, flush strategy, power settings, and cycle sequence engineered alongside the hardware.
Full multi-head cycle testing at our Montgomery, IL facility before shipment — validated against your part geometry and production targets with documented results.
