WEDM programming is to input machining instructions to the machine tool controller and tell the machine tool to realize the machining instructions. Before there was a WEDM programming program, WEDM programming relied on manual calculation, which was inefficient. Now you can use computer programming, which is relatively simple.
Basic principles of WEDM programming
In fact, the basic principle of WEDM is very simple, mainly relying on the heat release of electric spark to make metal form cutting effect. Electric spark, as its name implies, is the high temperature produced by electric discharge, including melting and combustion.
In WEDM, on the one hand, the electrode wire keeps moving up (down) relative to the workpiece (slow wire feeding unidirectional, fast wire feeding reciprocating, and wire feeding in the middle before cutting); On the other hand, the cross table for clamping the workpiece is driven by a numerical control servo motor to realize the cutting feed of the X axis and the Y axis, so that the electrode wire can cut the workpiece along the trajectory of the machining pattern.
In fact, WEDM should be better, with high precision, high brightness, high efficiency and good effect, and it still needs the assistance of WEDM accessories. Only with the help of WEDM accessories can WEDM become perfect.
