In the above, the wire electrode 1 supplied from the reel 2
Tension is applied to the brake 3 and processing feed roller 4 to remove curling and guide the material in a straight line. In the guide 5, the workpiece 17 is stably guided without friction by the fluid 6, and the workpiece 17 is processed by the thin wire electrode 1 protruding from the tip of the guide. During processing, the electrode wire 1 passing through the guide 5 and facing the workpiece 17 rotates around its axis as the frame 10 is rotated by the motor 13. Further, by rotating the motor 8, the guide 5 is rotated. Then, the guide 5 and the thin wire electrode 1 rotate in opposite directions. This relative rotational movement between the wire electrode 1 and the guide 5 causes relative friction between the wire electrode 1 and the fluid 6 with a high kinematic viscosity interposed between them, increasing contact resistance, which increases in proportion to the increase in rotational speed. The resistance increases and the wire electrode 1 receives centripetal dynamic pressure control from the surrounding medium, and the centripetal action moves so that the resistance of the wire electrode 1 itself decreases, so that it naturally moves toward the center of rotation and is held there. become. This prevents the wire electrode from lateral wobbling, bending, vibration, etc., and guides it straight and stably.

If the wire electrode 1 is thin, a fluid with a correspondingly high viscosity is used. For example, a surfactant, polyethylene glycol, etc. based on water, oil, hydrocarbon, etc.
The viscosity is increased by mixing thickeners such as polyvinyl alcohol, glycerin, gelatin, agar, paraffin, naphthene, and aromatics.
In addition, fine particles of graphite, Co, Ni, other metals, alloys, synthetic resins, and ceramics, with a particle size of about 10 -2 mmφ to 10 -5 mmφ, can be mixed into the liquid and used. can. In addition to fine particles, metal, carbon, resin fibers, whiskers, etc. can also be used as the mixture in the liquid. When metal is used, processing current can be passed from here to the wire electrode 1.

It is more effective to increase the supply pressure by supplying such a fluid with a high kinematic viscosity to the guide 5, but this liquid with a high kinematic viscosity stabilizes the wire electrode 1. Since the electrode tip protrudes from the guide 5 and is guided centrally and there is no deflection, drilling of the workpiece 17 is performed at high speed by stable electric discharge.

The wire electrode is not limited to the case where a solid wire is used, but a thin pipe can be used, and the machining liquid can be supplied in a jet form from this pipe electrode. In addition, water, kerosene, etc. are used as machining fluid, and a thickener can be mixed with this and supplied to the guide, allowing it to flow through the guide and being supplied from the tip to the machining section, thereby serving as the machining fluid as well. . In this case, centering can be expected between the machining parts by exerting a dynamic pressure centripetal force between the rotating wire electrodes due to the action of the fluid with high kinematic viscosity.

As described above, according to the present invention, a cylindrical space having an inner diameter larger than the openings at both ends is formed in a part of the straight cylindrical through hole through which the thin wire electrode is guided, and the kinematic viscosity is controlled in this space. The thin wire electrode is filled with a high fluid and the thin wire electrode is coaxially inserted into the linear cylindrical through hole, and the thin wire electrode and the guide are rotated in opposite directions about their axes to apply the fluid to the thin wire electrode. Even if the rotation speed of the thin wire electrode is slower than before, the centripetal action of the contact resistance with the fluid acts on the thin wire electrode, and the thin wire electrode is held at the center of rotation. Since it can be set slowly, it is possible to prevent the thin wire electrode from lateral wobbling, bending, vibration, etc., and to stably guide the thin wire electrode in a straight line, improving drilling accuracy and making it straight without bending. The depth (length) of the hole that can be machined can be increased, and the wire diameter of the thin wire electrode that can be stably guided can be reduced.

Further, according to the present invention, since the rotational movements of the thin wire electrode and the guide are performed in opposite directions, the relative speed between the thin wire electrode and the fluid can be easily increased as described above, and the centripetal action on the thin wire electrode can be increased. In addition, since the rotation speed of the thin wire electrode can be set low, the deflection and deflection of the thin wire electrode are reduced, and stable and smooth guidance can be achieved even with extremely thin wires, which is faster than conventional methods. Precision drilling of extremely small diameter holes, which has been difficult, can be performed with high precision.
