Seibu is the only EDM manufacturer who guarantees a pitch accuracy down to ± 1μm. Although new to the U.S. market, Seibu has a long history. They created the world’s 1st wire EDM in 1972. The wire EDMs are built in Seibu’s ISO certified factory in Koga City, Fukuoka Prefecture which is located in southern Japan. Seibu machines target the high end precision wire EDM market which requires a quality machine designed to last and produce consistent results. Only 30 to 40 individually created high quality Seibu machines are produced per month. All machine castings are hand scrapped, guideways are checked for flatness, lasered for straightness and test cuts are performed on all machines which are then checked on a CMM for accuracy. High end brands are rarely the most popular but always offer the highest quality. Seibu machines are built to last.
