Abstract

See full text

A wire electric discharge machine has a function of estimating the time for replacement of a filter based on a use situation for the machine. A time Tr during which the filter is serviceable is calculated according to an equation, Tr=|(Pd−Pn)/ΔP|, based on a fluid pressure variation amount ΔP, a current filter fluid pressure Pn, and a filter life pressure. A remaining available time Td for the filter which takes into account the operation rate of the machine is calculated according to an equation, Td=Tr/W.
