摘要: A cylindrical cutting die is made by mounting a line drawing of the pattern to be cut on a copy cylinder supported on the table of a milling machine for rotary movement in unison with a negative cylinder. A scanning device senses the pattern on the copy cylinder and coordinates rotary movement of the cylinders and linear movement of the machine table to cause a cutter mounted on the machine spindle to form a grooved reproduction of the pattern on the negative cylinder, which is then used in an electrical discharge machine, equipped with a fixture for rotatably supporting the negative cylinder on the machine head in axially parallel relation with a die blank cylinder in the machine tank and for rotating the cylinders at equal rotational speed, to cause a raised cutting pattern to be machined on the die cylinder corresponding to the grooved reproduction on the negative cylinder.
