Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electric discharge machining apparatus for machining a work piece by generating an electric discharge in a machining gap formed between a tool electrode and a work piece.
- it relates to a power supply for electric discharge machining that repeatedly supplies a current pulse to a machining gap using a capacitor.
- FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram illustrating a conventional power supply for electric discharge machining.
- Workpiece 2 is placed in a work tank (not shown) filled with a dielectric liquid such as kerosene.
- the tool electrode 1 is positioned so as to form a machining gap 3 of a very small size with the workpiece 2.
- N series of switching transistors Trl to Trn and current limiting resistors R1 to Rn are connected in parallel between the DC power supply E and the processing gap 3. To simplify the drawing, only two series are illustrated and the other series are omitted.
- the on / off switching operation of the switching transistors Trl to Trn is controlled by the gate pulse signal GP.
- Gate pulse Electronic components such as a device for generating a signal GP, a DC power supply E, switching transistors Tr1 to Trn, and current limiting resistors Rl to Rn are usually housed in a cabinet.
- a cabinet is unavoidably placed at a certain physical distance from the mechanical part including the member that supports the workpiece and the member that moves the tool electrode.
- a suitable conductor such as a coaxial cable CC is provided between the cabinet and the mechanical unit to electrically connect the DC power supply E and the feed gap 3.
- the FIG. 4 power supply further includes a capacitor C connected in parallel with the Kaloegap 3.
- the switch SW is connected between the capacitor C and the machining gap 3, and the use of the capacitor C can be selected.
- the capacitance of the capacitor C can be set, for example, in the range of 0.0068 to 1.
- the combination of capacitor C and switch SW is placed as close as possible to machining gap 3. They are stored, for example, in small boxes attached to the side walls of the work tank.
- the switching transistors Tr1 to Trn When at least one of the switching transistors Tr1 to Trn is turned on while the switch SW is closed, charging of the capacitor C starts.
- the charging voltage of the capacitor C exceeds a certain value, the electric discharge machining current I flows through the machining gap 3. At this time, the current is supplied from the capacitor C to the machining gap 3 and also from the DC power source E to the machining gap 3 through the switching transistor.
- the waveform of the current pulse supplied from the capacitor C to the machining gap 3 without passing through the current limiting resistor is characterized by a steep rising edge. This steep rising edge improves the processing speed.
- the circuit of FIG. 4 is used to finish the surface of a steel workpiece to a surface roughness of 3 / xm Ry or less using a copper electrode or to machine a carbide workpiece using a copper tungsten electrode. It is especially used for
- a power supply for electric discharge machining that repeatedly supplies a current pulse to a machining gap formed between a tool electrode and a work piece includes:
- a first switching element connected between the DC power supply and the processing gap, a capacitor connected in parallel with the processing gap,
- a second switching element for controlling the current flowing from the capacitor to the processing gap
- a power supply for electric discharge machining for repeatedly supplying a current pulse to a machining gap formed between a tool electrode and a workpiece is provided.
- a first switching element connected between the DC power supply and the processing gap; and a first electrical path for flowing current from the DC power supply to the processing gap via the first switching element.
- a capacitor connected in parallel with the processing gap
- a second switching element for controlling the current flowing from the capacitor to the processing gap
- a power supply for electric discharge machining including a controller for controlling the first switching element and the second switching element.
- FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram for illustration of a power supply for electric discharge machining according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram illustrating the correction current supply circuit of FIG.
- FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram illustrating a conventional power supply for electric discharge machining. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
- the power supply 100 for electrical discharge machining is a switching circuit composed of a direct current power supply E, n limiting resistors R1 to Rn, and switching transistors Tr1 to Trn, similarly to the power supply of FIG. Contains 1 0.
- a series of resistors 41 and 42 are connected in parallel with the machining gap 3.
- a signal DS indicating the voltage detected at node 43 between resistors 41 and 42 is supplied to a discharge detector 50.
- the discharge detector 50 compares the voltage signal DS with the reference voltage, and supplies an inpulse signal DP to the gut pulse generator 20 when judging that the discharge has started in the additional gap 3.
- a correction current supply circuit 60 for sharpening the rising edge of the waveform of the pulsed electric discharge machining current I is provided near the machining gap 3.
- the correction current supply circuit 60 includes a number of capacitors C1 to C8 charged by the DC power supply E and switches SW1 to SW8 connected to the capacitors C1 to C8. It includes a capacitor circuit 61 consisting of SW 8.
- the capacitance of the capacitor circuit 61 can be set, for example, in the range of 0.0068 to 1.6 / xF by the switches SW1 to SW8.
- the charging terminals 60 A and 60 B of the correction current supply circuit 60 are connected to the DC power supply E by a low inductance coaxial cable CC, and the output terminals 60 C and 60 D of the circuit 60 are connected to the processing gap 3.
- the charging current flows from the DC power supply E to the capacitor circuit 61 through the current limiting resistor 63 and the diode 64.
- the charging time is determined by the time constant RC. For example, when a resistor 63 of 15 ⁇ is used and a capacitor of 1.6 / z F is selected in the capacitor circuit 61, the charging time is approximately 24 ⁇ s.
- Reference numeral 65 indicates an acceleration capacitor.
- the gut pulse generator 20 holds the gate pulse signal GP1 at “H” level from time t2 until time t4 when the set time ⁇ ON elapses.
- a current i flows from the DC power supply E through the switching circuit 10 to the machining gap 3, and the current i is, as shown in FIG. It rises relatively slowly due to the current limiting resistance.
- the good pulse generator 20 holds the gate pulse signal GP 2 at “H” level from time t 2 until time t 3 when the set time T elapses.
- the current flowing from the capacitor circuit 61 to the machining gap 3 through the switching transistor 67 is combined with the current i, so that a steep rising edge is formed in the waveform of the current I.
- the time T is set to a value at which the current i reaches the peak value, for example, 5 ⁇ s, which is shorter than the time ⁇ ON. Since the time T is set in the gate pulse generator 20, the energy supplied from the capacitor circuit 61 to the additional gap 3 during the time ⁇ ON is constant.
- Gate pulse generator 20 holds gate pulse signal GP1 at “L” level from time t4 to time t5 when set time ⁇ OFF elapses.
- the capacitor circuit 61 may be charged by the DC power supply E and another DC power supply may charge the capacitor circuit 61.
- the illustrated embodiment was chosen to illustrate the nature of the invention and its practical application. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
