摘要:
A system for reversing the direction of an electric discharge machine in response to a short-circuit signal. A controller responds to the short circuit signal by generating a command signal with a magnitude greater than a stored error between a commanded value and a number of feedback pulses produced by rotation of a motor which drives the electrode. The sign of the generated command signal is opposite to that of the stored error so that the stored error is converted into a value capable of reversing the direction of the electrode without delay.

There is disclosed a method of controlling a wire-cut electric discharge machine to correct cutting errors due to flexing of a wire electrode caused by electric discharge. A processing unit processes data (x.sub.1, y.sub.1, r.sub.1, x.sub.2, y.sub.2) on a corner shape which is given by a paper tape and data on an amount of flexing (D.sub.0) upon rectilinear cutting for calculating a corrected radius of curvature r.sub.1 ' of the corner, and determines the center Pc of an arc having the radius of curvature r.sub.1 ' and contacting straight lines (l.sub.1, l.sub.2) and points of contact Pt, Pt' to move the wire electrode along a straight line P.sub.1 Pt, an arc PtPt', and a straight line Pt'P.sub.3 to thereby correct the cutting error at the corner.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for restoring a broken wire electrode in a wire electrode-type electric discharge machine for machining a workpiece into a desired shape while the workpiece is moved relative to the wire electrode on the basis of machining command data. For effecting the restoration of the wire electrode, memory means are provided for storing the relative machining starting position of the workpiece and the wire electrode at the machining starting point, and the relative wire electrode breakage position of the workpiece and the wire electrode when the wire electrode breaks. After the wire electrode breaks the relative position of the workpiece and the wire electrode is brought into coincidence with the machining starting position on the basis of information indicative of the machining starting position and the wire electrode breakage position. After the wire electrode is returned to a feed system therefor, the workpiece is again moved relative to the wire electrode from the machining starting point on the basis of the machine command data. The relative position of the workpiece and the wire electrode is made to coincide with the wire electrode breakage position, after which the discharge machining operation is resumed.
