EDM Cut Laminations

The choice when tenths of a thousandth of an inch matter. Cutting laminations or stacks using EDM technology is the most precise method to meet tighter than normal tolerances.  This also avoids the time required to make stamping tools.

Tooling

At the heart of our operation is the tooling.  That is why Rippy designs, manufactures and maintains our tooling in-house to our own internal specifications. Seventy-plus years of being in business has taught us a lot about how to make a robust tool that lasts for decades. This approach saves time and money when a new tool is required. It also helps us troubleshoot and repair existing tooling faster as we have the designs.
