Used Hansvedt Equipment For Sale

Hansvedt Industries was founded as a privately held company in Urbana, Illinois and grew to become the largest U.S.-owned manufacturer of electrical discharge machining equipment in the country. In April 1997, Hardinge Inc. acquired Hansvedt Industries through a stock purchase, bringing the brand under the umbrella of one of North America's most respected precision machine tool companies. The Hansvedt name and product line continued operating out of Illinois, later associated with the Rantoul, Illinois location, carrying forward its identity as a dedicated EDM specialist.

Hansvedt built its reputation on a broad lineup of ram (sinker) EDM and wire EDM systems designed to cover the full range of shop requirements. The Workman series — offered in conventional ram configurations and compatible with H-Pulse and X-Pulse power supplies — became one of the brand's most recognized product lines, valued for its straightforward controls and reliable spark-erosion performance. The SM-150B CNC sinker EDM addressed higher-precision needs with a more capable power pack and larger work envelope, while the Benchman and Leadman models served bench-top and mold shop applications. The DS-2 CNC wire EDM rounded out the lineup for through-cutting operations requiring tight positional accuracy.

Hansvedt machines found their primary home in tool and die shops, injection mold shops, stamping and forming operations, contract machining facilities, and general metalworking plants. Their sinker EDMs are particularly well suited to burning complex cavities, deep ribs, and sharp internal corners in hardened tool steels and carbide — work that is central to mold making, die manufacturing, and precision component production for automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment sectors.

On the used market, Hansvedt sinker EDMs remain in steady demand because of their straightforward mechanical design, durable construction, and the wide availability of replacement consumables such as filters, servo components, and power supply parts. Shops seeking an affordable entry into EDM capability, or looking to add a reliable second machine, frequently turn to used Hansvedt equipment because the machines hold up well over long service lives and the H-Pulse and X-Pulse power supply platforms are well documented and serviceable.
