How does Spark Erosion work?
Services: ■ Stud/bolt removal
■ Dowel/pin removal ■ On site machining
■ Marine repair ■ Broken taps
■ Specialised metal removal including carbide/broken drills
Benefits: ■ 5 x faster than coventional drilling
■ Minium preparation time and set up time
■ Reduces down time
■ 24 hour response
The Spark Erosion Process works on the principle of a vibrating
spindle with electrical power supply creating a series of arcs occur-
ring 120 times per second to the bolt or tap that needs to be
removed. Cutting takes place at the tip of the graphite electrode
with 4 bar water pressure running through the centre cooling and
flushing the material as it is being eroded. There is a very low risk of
damage to the threads and this leaves a tapped hole ready for a
replacement stud to be inserted.
The main benefit of the Spark Erosion method is that no force or
heat is transferred to the parent part when material is being eroded
and therefore there is virtually no damage to the parent part.
KSB Service offer global services and therefore offer minmised
reponse times and costs. KSB Service Spark erosion team have
worked around the globe supplying services to a wide range of

Workshop and facilities
Our Workshop is used for making graphite electrodes & special
tooling for customers unique needs and we have a 24 hour turna-
round. We also hold a strategic stock holding of graphite electrodes
at our workshop, covering a range of sizes & shapes, facilitating fast
reaction. We also carry out all maintenance work on our spark ero-
sion equipment here to ensure that we supply you, the customer,
with the most effective and reliable service possible. Our
Spark Erosion workshop is also available for any in-house spark
erosion on small parts that are more manageable to transport for
repair.
