In general, machining time by electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is much longer than that of cutting process, so rough-cut has done for the purpose of reducing machining time prior to EDM Nowadays EDM speed is improving due to the advance of EDM capacity. Therefore a new method, machining a raw material directly by EDM without rough-cut, is used widely. EDM area is varies according to the EDM position in three-dimensional EDM process, so EDM parameters should be determined adaptively based on the EDM area to increase productivity. However it is difficult to calculate EDM area corresponding to the EDM position the EDM workers who have experience in shop floor determine machining parameters by experience. This paper proposes a method for determining EDM parameters based on EDM area corresponding to EDM position.

This paper describes the wire EDM (Electric Discharge Machining) CAM system considering a variable taper wire-cut and an unmanned wire EDM during the night. Wire EDM is applicable to all materials that are fairly good electrical conductors, including metals, alloys and most carbide. Thus it provides a relatively simple method for making holes of any desired cross section in materials that are too hard or brittle to be machined by most other methods. In this paper we classify variable taper wire-cut machining patterns and variable taper wire-cut geometries. Also we determine unmanned wire EDM patterns fur the productivity of wire EDM industry. Developed system consists of two modules: 1) Variable taper wire EDM module guarantees the length ratio machining function, the parametric ratio machining function and the marking function. 2) Unmanned wire EDM module guarantees the automatic wire EDM during the night. The proposed system has been tested in the fields and found to be a useful system.

대형 구조물의 측량에 널리 사용되는EDM(Electro-optical distance meter,광파 거리 측정기)의 측정값이 신뢰성을 가지기 위해서는 반드시 EDM의 교정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 EDM의 교정을 위한 소급체계를 확립하였는데, 이는EDM이 미터 정의로 부터의 소급성을 가지게 하는 것을 의미한다. 미터 정의에 따라 길이 표준기로 사용되는 요오드 안정화 헬륨­네온 레이저로 레이저 간섭계를 교정하고, 이 레이저 간섭계로 기준 EDM을 교정한 후, 기준 EDM과 기선장에 의해 교정 대상 EDM이 교정됨으로써 미터 정의로의 소급성을 유지한다. 레이저 간섭계를 이용한 EDM의 배율과 길이 측정값에 대한 교정 불확도는 각각 6$\times$$10^{-6}$과 0.2 mm이다. 기선장을 이용한 교정법과 EDM의 변조 주파수를 교정하는 교정법을 병행하여 그 결과를 비교하였다.

Determination of effective EDM parameters is significant to increase productivity. However, With the complexity of EDM phenomena, a universal selection method of EDM parameters has not been established yet. Moreover, No attempt has been tried before to suggest a logical method in determining essential machining parameters for effective electrical discharge machining. Peak current, one of the most significant factors in EDM, is proportional to EDM area. This paper presents a method that can be Z-map modeling from CMM data, and calculate EDM area using Z-map.

3D formed Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) and hole EDM were conducted for die and mold manufacturing with electrodes which were made by mechanical machining and wire EDM. It is difficult to machine the hardened material after heat treatment and quenching with traditional machining. The only method of machining hardened material is die-sinking EDM. In this research, hole EDM was conducted for heat-treated cold-worked tool steel (SKD11) for use as a die material. The EDM surfaces were analyzed by pulse-on time and peak current of EDM current, according to the machining conditions of EDM. The EDM surface profiles were affected by the peak current. The contribution of each factor is peak current (91.63%) and pulse-on time (0.93%). The best surface roughness was obtained with a $130{\mu}s$ pulse-on time and a 14.2 A peak current. With uniform EDM processing, the surface deteriorated with increasing pulse-on time and peak current. The thickness of the solidified layer induced by EDM was increased as the peak current, crater shapes, and erupted shapes of EDM surfaces were increased. Therefore, microcracking gaps induced by surface tension were increased.

프레스금형의 부품 중에서 펀치와 다이플레이트를 제작하는 방법은 공작기계만을 사용하여 제작하는 경우와 공작기계와 와이어 컷 방전가공기(W-EDM)를 병행 사용하는 경우가 있다. 그런데 공작기계만을 사용하여 제작 할 때는 금형수명(Die Life)이 200만-230만 스트로크였는데 와이어 컷 방전가공기를 사용한 제작에서는 70만-80만 스트로크에서 금형수명을 다하고 있다. 이것은 W-EDM후에 발생되는 가공변질층으로 예측되므로 W-EDM전과 W-EDM후의 가공면에 대한 SEM촬영을 실시하여 가공변질층의 발생여부를 확인하고 이에 대한 제거방법을 연구하고자 하였다.

다양한 종류의 제품을 생산하는 프레스금형의 부품 중에서 펀치와 다이플레이트를 제작하는데 주로 W-EDM을 이용한다. W-EDM전에는 기계가공으로 제작된 펀치와 다이플레이트로 제품을 생산하게 되면 생산량이 200만~230만개를 생산하고 금형수명을 다하였다. 그러나 W-EDM으로 제작된 금형으로 제품을 생산하게 되면 생산수량이 70만~80만개를 생산하고 금형수명이 다하였다. 이것은 W-EDM한 후에 발생되는 가공변질층에 기인하는 것으로 사료되므로 W-EDM전과 W-EDM후의 가공면에 대한 SEM촬영을 실시하여 가공변질층의 발생을 확인하고 이에 대한 제거 방법을 연구하였다.

This study investigates the non-traditional manufacturing process of dry wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) in which liquid dielectric is replaced by a gaseous medium. Wire EDM experiments of thin workpieces were conducted both in wet and dry EDM conditions to examine the effects of spark cycle (T), spark on-time ($T_{on}$), thickness of work pieces, and work material on machining performance. The material removal rate (MRR) in the dry wire EDM case was much lower than that in the wet wire EDM case. In addition, the thickness of workpiece and work-material were found to be critical factors influencing the MRR for dry EDM process. The relative ratios of spark, arc and short circuit were also calculated and compared to examine the effectiveness of processes of dry and wet wire EDM.

This paper addresses the design and fabrication of desktop die-sinking dry electrical discharge machining (EDM) system and its experimental performance analysis. The developed desktop dry EDM machine has the horizontal configuration with the size of $300{\times}200{\times}260mm$. The experimental performance analysis is conducted to investigate the effects of EDM conditions and dielectric gas temperature on the surface roughness of EDMed slots and number of EDM sparks. The experimental results demonstrate that low feed rate and large electrode displacement are good for better surface roughness and more number of EDM sparks. In addition, low temperature of dielectric gas results in better surface roughness.

This paper deals with the design and implementation of an open architecture CNC system for Wire-EDM, with a consideration of the difference between Wire-EDM and NC cutting machines. Recent open architecture controller(OAC) related research results could be applied to directly access Wire-EDM systems at the CNC level. However, previous research about OAC is mostly aimed at NC cutting machines such as milling or lathes, and hence these results are inadequate to apply to Wire-EDM. To close the gap between previous general research on OAC and Wire-EDM specific needs, an open architecture NC model for Wire-EDM composed of a synchronization kernel and a NC functional module is proposed. Based on the control information flow and Wire-EDM specific machining process, the conceptual CNC model and the detailed implementation model for Wire-EDM is suggested.
