An on-line pulse trains analysis system of the wire-EDM process, EDM filters Ignition delay time (Td) has been widely used to distinguish the abnormal discharges from the normal ones in wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process. In this paper an on-line analysis system for the causality of the Td data sequences was developed to evaluate the machining performance of WEDM process. The system is composed of a s

Brittle materials, such as silicon, silicon carbide and sapphire have been conventionally sliced for wafers by a multi-wire saw method with slurry in industrial fields. Recently, the multi-wire saw method with a fixed diamond abrasive wire has been available as a commercial product at acceptable cost, and the high slicing performance is expected compared with the normal multi-wire saw method with slurry. However, the

This paper aims to develop and investigate a permanent magnet linear-motor-driven table system for a wire EDM machine. A dynamic model and system identification of `the linear motor system have been derived and analyzed. The linear motor drive system has nonlinear and time-varying behaviors because of the effect of irregular friction of the sliding surface and cogging force. Therefore, a conventional digital controll

The material removal process in wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) may result in work-piece surface damage due to the material thermal properties and the cutting parameters such as varying on-time pulses, open circuit voltage, machine cutting speed, and dielectric fluid pressure. A finite element method (FEM) program was developed to model temperature distribution in the workpiece under the conditions of diff

Prevention of wire breakage in wire EDM, agie charmilles EDM filters Abstract: This paper compares the performance of brass wire and zinc-coated wire on wire electro-discharge machining (EDM) of high speed steel (HSS) material. For both types of wire the current, duty cycle, pulse-on time and wire speed have been selected as the input variables while the cutting rate, surface roughness and frequency of wire breakage

Automated Cell Combines Wire EDM, Mitsubishi EDM filter Mitsubishi’s MD+CELL combines the MD+PROII wire EDM with a Suprema DX44 waterjet for high speed and precision in one automated unit, minimizing operator intervention and maximizing unattended run time. The MD+CELL employs a Mitsubishi MELFA six-axis robot to transfer rough-cut pieces from the waterjet to EDM machine for finishing. The Suprema waterjet includes a

Control of Wire-EDM Preventing Electrode from Breaking, wire EDM Filters supplier Summary For improving the performance of wire-EDM, the prevention of electrode from breaking is considered to be one of the most important ploblems. Once the breaking of electrode occurs, it inflicts a serious damage on the machining process of wire-EDM. To provide for the worst, it is usually impelled to feed workpiece at low rate. The

An industrial application for on-line detection of instability and wire breakage in wire EDM, wire EDM filters manufacturers One of the main challenges in wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is avoiding wire breakage and unstable situations as both phenomena reduce process performance and can cause low quality components. This work proposes a methodology that guarantees an early detection of instability that c

Development of a Laminated Broaching Tool Manufactured by Wire EDM, TAGUTI EDM Filters A non-conventional laminated broaching tool manufactured by wire EDM is proposed in this work. A prototype laminated broach composed of flat steel sheets is constructed and the viability of laminated broaches is discussed on the basis of the machining performance of this prototype. Despite some apparent problems of rigidity, the la
