How to process large-scale seed distribution trays in agricultural automation using wire cutting

News / 06/10/2025

When the sowing efficiency of thousands of acres of fertile land has jumped from "manual measurement" to "every second counts", agricultural automation equipment has become the core engine of modern agriculture. In the automatic seeder, the seed distribution disc is the "heart" component of precision sowing, and its manufacturing accuracy directly determines the emergence rate and yield of crops. Super large wire cutting EDM technology is the "golden key" to unlock the precision manufacturing of seed distribution discs.

In the production of automatic seeding machine seed distribution discs, ultra-large wire cutting EDM technology has shown irreplaceable advantages. Seed distribution discs usually need to be processed with dozens or even hundreds of seed channels and metering holes of various shapes. These structures must ensure that the seeds can slide smoothly and achieve accurate distribution of each seed. Ultra-large wire cutting EDM can process tiny channels with an accuracy of ≤ ± 0.003mm on extremely hard alloy materials through pulse discharge, and the inner wall is smooth and burr-free to avoid seed jamming. At the same time, facing the complex curved contours and special-shaped structures on the distribution disc, this technology can achieve three-dimensional cutting with multi-axis linkage control to ensure that the size of each component is completely consistent with the design. Data from an agricultural automation company shows that after using ultra-large wire cutting EDM, the sowing accuracy of the seed distribution disc has increased by 35%, and the equipment failure rate has decreased by 28%, significantly improving the sowing efficiency and quality.

However, the ultra-large wire-cut EDM machining of seed distribution discs faces many challenges. On the one hand, the material processing is difficult. In order to adapt to the complex field environment, distribution discs are mostly made of high-strength and wear-resistant alloys, but these materials have special electrical and thermal conductivity, which can easily generate high temperatures during the processing process, resulting in faster electrode wire loss and increased risk of workpiece deformation. On the other hand, there is a prominent contradiction between processing size and precision requirements. The seed distribution disc is large in size, and the seed channel aperture on it is small. During the processing of ultra-large equipment, how to ensure the consistency of precision in a large processing area and avoid the impact of machine tool vibration, thermal deformation and other factors on the cutting effect has become an industry problem.

Zhikai CNC has been deeply engaged in the research and development of cutting technology. In response to the needs of the agricultural automation field, it has launched high-performance ultra-large wire-cut EDM equipment. Its original intelligent temperature control system and automatic electrode wire compensation technology effectively solve the problems of high-temperature deformation and electrode wire loss during material processing; high-precision guide rails and servo control systems ensure the accuracy and stability during large-area processing. In addition to seed distribution discs, Zhikai CNC's equipment also performs well in the processing of other parts of agricultural automation, such as nozzle mold cutting for drone pesticide spraying systems and precision processing of harvester transmission gears.
