Abstract

See full text

A wire electrical discharge machine performs electrical discharge machining on a workpiece by applying voltage across an electrode gap formed between a wire electrode and the workpiece to thereby generate electrical discharge while moving the wire electrode relative to the workpiece along a path specified by a machining program. The wire electrical discharge machine includes: a voltage detector for detecting a gap voltage across the gap; a facing area calculation unit for calculating, as a facing area, the area of a surface of the workpiece contained within a predetermined distance from the center axis of the wire electrode; an axis feed rate determination unit for determining an axis feed rate based on the gap voltage value detected by the voltage detector, and the facing area; and a movement control unit for performing control so that the wire electrode moves relative to the workpiece at the axis feed rate.
