    摘要: An upper guide assembly includes an upper wire guide, an upper power feed contact, and a power feed contact movement device, and a lower guide assembly includes a lower power feed contact. The upper power feed contact and the lower power feed contact are configured to contact the wire electrode to supply power by moving in a horizontal direction from initial positions not contacting the wire electrode. The power feed contact movement device is configured to move the upper power feed contact in the horizontal direction from the initial position by a predetermined offset amount. The offset amount is set based on a machining condition including at least one of a condition of the wire electrode, a condition of a workpiece, and a surface roughness required for a cut surface of the workpiece.

    摘要: A compact lower guide unit that allows the electrode guide to be attached and detached more easily and reliably. Provided is a lower guide unit including a housing, an electrode guide, and a pull-up mechanism having a guide support, links, and a power cylinder. The guide support includes a biasing member and a displacement member. The biasing member can bias the displacement member, and the displacement member can be displaced between a restriction position and a release position. The links can be rotated by a force applied by the power cylinder. The electrode guide is fixed to the guide support by a biasing force of the biasing member when the displacement member is in the restriction position, and the electrode guide is released from the lower guide unit when the displacement member is displaced to the release position.

    摘要: To automatically change and set machining conditions suitable for a plate thickness even when machining paths of a rough machining step and an end surface finishing step are different in level difference machining in which the plate thickness changes during machining. In a wire electric discharge machining method and a wire electric discharge machining apparatus of the disclosure, an XY-plane of a workpiece stand is divided into small regions to form a plurality of divided regions, and a plate thickness of the workpiece is detected and stored in association with the divided regions. Thereafter, whether there is a level difference ahead of a traveling direction of a machining path is estimated according to plate thickness information associated with the divided regions and a plate thickness of the workpiece at a current machining position, and machining conditions are changed.

    摘要: A stress controlled layer is constituted to include a compressive stress applied part that is a region to which a compressive stress is applied and a compressive stress non-applied part that is a region different from the compressive stress applied part. In a solidifying step, scanning of a laser beam or an electron beam is performed while a scanning direction for the compressive stress applied part is different from a scanning direction for the compressive stress non-applied part such that the compressive stress applied part expands further than the compressive stress non-applied part or the compressive stress non-applied part shrinks compared with the compressive stress applied part based on a relationship between the scanning direction and an expansion quantity or a shrinkage quantity at a time of temperature change or at a time of heat treatment.
