Title:
ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/068701
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention is capable of improving machining accuracy and machining efficiency by providing a regular rest time during a cycle in which machining is considered to become unstable during machining performed by the self-oscillation of a capacitor discharge in which the inter-electrode capacitance of a capacitor is used. This electrical discharge machining apparatus is provided with: a power source; an inter-electrode space formed by an electrode and the workpiece; a current-limiting resistor connected between the power source and the inter-electrode space; a switching element for turning on and off the application of voltage from the power source to the inter-electrode space; an inductance element connected serially between the switching element and the inter-electrode space; and a control unit for controlling the switching element, the control unit causing the switching element to turn on and off according to a switching pattern having an on-pulse duration (ΔT on) such that during the on-pulse time the voltage of the inter-electrode space can reach the voltage of the power source, and a rest duration (ΔT off) that ranges from the duration (ΔT ic) of the discharge current flowing during discharge of the capacitor, to less than the self-oscillation cycle (ΔT so).
