摘要:
The upper limit value for the axis feeding speed is set to the maximum speed that can secure the safety in a wire electrical discharge machine. In the case where the level of the process liquid is higher than a predetermined height, however, the upper limit value is made smaller. In order to prevent the process liquid from spilling to the outside of the process tank, the acceleration or the jerk may be changed instead of the axis feeding speed. In the case where the process liquid level is high, it is difficult for the process liquid to spill when the speed is adjusted slowly. In addition, the time constant may be increased or the instruction for speed may be changed from the linear type to the S shape type.

摘要:
A primary power supply charges a capacitor by turning on a switching element and, upon completion of charging, turns off the switching element. Then, an AC pulse voltage is applied to the gap between a wire electrode and a workpiece by alternately turning on and off a switching element present in a secondary power supply. After a dielectric breakdown occurs between the wire electrode and the workpiece, the switching element is turned on to connect the capacitor so that the capacitor supplies a pulse current for machining.

A wire electric discharge machine is configured to machine a workpiece by computing an electric current at the machining time before starting a main machining and compensating a power source voltage for machining. The wire electric discharge machine measures an average electric current and an electric discharge frequency at the machining time, in a measuring section in an approach before the main machining, and computes a peak current at the machining time. Further, an electric voltage of a machining power source is compensated by comparing the computed peak current at the machining, with a reference peak current.
