Erosion machining control uses preset workpiece priorities, machining operation priorities and/or preset electrode service lives. Machining operations in a multi-electrode erosion drilling machine are controlled by determining and carrying out the operating sequence of the machining operations and the electrodes according to: (a) preset priorities of workpieces (10) to be machined, of a group of operations (ARB1-4), of individual operations (ARB), of machining cycles (AZ) and/or of machining steps (AS) of an operation (ARB); and/or (b) preset service lives of electrodes (R1-6) used for the individual operations (ARB), machining cycles (AZ) and/or machining steps (AS). An Independent claim is also included for equipment for carrying out the above process. |
