Features of wire cut electrical discharge machine
Capable of continuous automatic operation for long periods of time
窶「 Wire winding is drum method
窶「 The wire of a typical brass wire EDM machine is disposable, but the wire of this wire EDM machine is
Molybdenum electrode wire (200m) is wrapped around a drum and rotated and reversed repeatedly to extend the life of the wire.
Characteristics of wire cut electrical discharge machine
♦The wire uses molybdenum wire
繝サThe wire of this wire discharge contour machine can repeat rotation and reversal for a long time
  and can be operated continuously.
  *Wire life varies depending on processing conditions.
♦Wire cost: Approximately 800 JPY per month
繝サIt uses molybdenum wire for excellent durability, and the monthly cost is approximately 800 JPY,
  making it excellent cost performance.
♦Comparison table of brass type wire cut and STG molybdenum type wire electric discharge
  machining contour machine
  STG molybdenum type brass type
  Just because the wire travels at a high speed does not mean high-speed processing is possible.  
There is no problem in practical use stepping motor drive However, maintenance is easy very good servo motor drive
Using wire Repeated use Disposable
Wire material Molybdenum Brass
Wire diameter Usually 0.18 Usually 0.25
To the workpiece hole
Connecting wires
Manual (tricks required) Easy once you get used to it Automatic/Manual (easy)
Wire length About 200 meters Thousands of M
Wire guide model Guide wheel long life Dice guide short life
Wire feed position accuracy No problem for practical use
(Because there is no dice guide)
Good
Wire breakage, etc. Hard to break even when used roughly
Less influence of cooling water
Therefore, it is possible to process extremely thick workpieces
If not strictly managed, the wire will break
Wire tension

There is no special mechanism using tools when winding the wire around the drum

Control between supply roller and discharge roller

Regular roller replacement required

Power supply block to wire Carbon brush, cheap Cemented carbide, expensive
Quality of machined surface Wire reversal pattern appears Beautiful
Pulse power supply Voltage 48-100V Current 1-5A Voltage approximately 300V Current 1-32A
Discharge interval/mm 0.01?0.03 0.01?0.12
Processing fluid Dilute the vegetable emulsion with water
Because the machining fluid contains oil, the life of the pulley bearings in the wire supply path is long.
Pure water (ion exchange resin)
Machining fluid conductivity Use a conductivity meter Adjusted by ion exchange resin
Processing fluid filter Simple filter Requires frequent replacement
Processing fluid supply As long as the machining fluid is applied to the workpiece, a general low-pressure machining fluid pump is sufficient
The piping is a low pressure hose
There is only a manual cock, so the need for maintenance is low
High pressure machining fluid supply device required
For conductivity adjustment and jet flow circuit
Regular switching of solenoid valves, etc.
Maintenance required
Maintenance Easy
Most parts can be replaced by the user

Difficult

Operating costs Cheap, about 40 yen/hour Expensive, about 300 yen/hour
Base price cheap High
  STG molybdenum formula Brass style
Processing speed (mm2/min)
per unit time
Machining cross-sectional area
230 240
Processing accuracy/mm
(Example) Octagonal test piece
Inter-plane distance comparison
0.01?0.04 0.004?0.01
Surface roughness Ra/um 1.6?3.2 0.1?1.6
Wire consumption Less wear throughout the wire Wasted between the thickness of the workpiece
Becomes thinner
NC control code Basically, 3B code
However, since it has a G code conversion function,
Programming possible with G code
ISO G code
Machining figure program Built-in CAD/CAM system
Based on DXF text file
Data can be exchanged with existing CAD
A separate CADCAM system may be required
Many
Tapering Possible, but not recommended Possible
