The World of EDT Electrodes
Udo Plante GmbH is among the world
leaders in the production of electrodes for
roll texturing machines.
Ever since in 1996 we have been supplying
high quality electrodes to leading operators
of EDT roll shop. The product range
includes copper hollow profile electrodes
and pin electrodes in a variety of different
grades and dimensions.
Udo Plante GmbH offers consultation and
service for EDT electrodes worldwide.

Hollow Copper Profile Electrodes CE
Udo Planten GmbH supplies hollow copper
profile electrodes for EDT machines made
by Herkules, Kleinknecht and Waldrich
Siegen in any required length.
The Product Range:
E-Cu, SE-Cu, OF-Cu
For normal applications the electrodes for
EDT machines are made of EC-U material.
In the case of highly sensitive texturing
processes it may make sense or even be
imperative to use higher quality materials
such as SE-Cu or OF-Cu.
3 Performance Grades
Udo Plante GmbH meets these requirements
with a range of 3 performance
grades depending on the sensitivity of
the EDT process and the quality demanded
by the customer.
Standard Performance 1CE
1 CE electrodes consist of electrolytically
refined, oxygen-containing copper with a
high conductivity of at least 57 m/Ω mm 2 .
1 C E 010
0 - - -
Advanced Performance 2CE
2 CE electrodes consist of high purity
deoxidized copper with a low residual
phosphorous content and a high conductivity
of at least 58 m/Ω mm 2 .
2 C E 010
0 - - -
All CE electrodes are
hardstamped with the UP logo.
High Performance 3CE
3 CE electrodes consist of high purity,
non-deoxidized, oxygen-free copper that
contains no elements that can be vacuumvaporized
and has a high conductivity of
up to 59 m/Ω mm 2 .
3 C E 010
0 - - -
CE electrode
Higher demands –
higher quality
In normal applications the standard
performance electrodes are
sufficient for the EDT machines.
The utilization of higher quality
electrodes is required in highly
sensitive texturing processes.

The protective layer consists of
a flexible, transparent protectivepaint
made from modified silicon
resin. It meets the high demands
of the US and British defense
specifications. Approvals by the
British Ministry of Defense (MOD)
DEF STAN 59/47 – as well as by
the relevant test laboratories (UL)
QMJU2 – have been obtained.

Performance
Pin Electrodes PE
Udo Plante GmbH supplies pin electrodes
for EDT machines of the Herkules company
in all required lengths.
Pin electrodes are made from a specially
modified alloy with tightly restricted analysis
tolerances. These electrodes have
met the quality assurance standards according
to DIN EN ISO 9001.
The additional machining process is performed
on highly advanced CNC machines,
in accordance to the quality management
system DIN EN ISO 9002.
Electrodes can be supplied in any length
and diameter to meet the specific needs of
a particular Sarclad and Herkules EDT
machine.
The standard length amounts to 126 mm.

Protective Coating
The working section of the electrode is
coated with a protective paint. Good dielectric
properties at all frequencies, according
to DEFSTAN59-4/2 Annex C, characterize
the electrodes. The thickness of the
protective coating ranges between 25 and
50 microns.
