第1実施形態では、平均極間電圧に基づいて放電ギャップを推定する。これに対して、本実施形態では、放電遅れ時間に基づいて放電ギャップを推定する。図3A及び図3Bに示すように、放電遅れ時間とは、極間に電圧が印加されてから極間に放電が生じるまでの時間である。
Tc=T/(1+α3・V)…(3)
本実施形態のワイヤ放電加工機10では、補正部48は、放電遅れ時間を分子とし、係数に加工速度を掛けた値を分母とする式に基づいて、補正放電遅れ時間を求める。モータ制御部50は、補正放電遅れ時間に基づいてX軸モータ24及びY軸モータ26を制御して、ワーク14の放電加工中における放電ギャップの大きさを一定にする。これにより、ワイヤ放電加工機10は、ワーク14の加工精度を向上できる。
上記実施形態から把握しうる技術的思想について、以下に記載する。
14…ワーク 24…X軸モータ(駆動部)
26…Y軸モータ(駆動部)
32…平均極間電圧算出部(放電状態値取得部)
34…補正部(放電状態値補正部) 36…モータ制御部(制御部)
