Abstract

See full text

EDM apparatus has a servo drive under the control of a main control system for advancing a machining electrode toward a conductive workpiece. When the electrode arrives at a surface of the workpiece to commence EDM machining, the main control system causes a sudden deceleration of the servo. The depth controller detects this sudden deceleration by means of a sensor and sets a zero reference plane from which machining depth is measured. The depth controller can also detect electrode breakthrough by detecting servo acceleration occurring when the electrode breaks through a surface of the workpiece.
