DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SETTING MACHINING CONDITIONS FOR ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING.

摘要

In a machining condition setting device for electrical discharge machining for setting machining conditions including pulse energy and an electrode feeding distance based on data set in relation to specifications including the quality of a material of a workpiece and the desired surface roughness of a product, a plurality of sets of basic data are selected which show relationships between machining conditions and specifications provided by the machining conditions. An inference portion including a neural network is caused to learn the relationship between the specifications and machining conditions using the selected basic data. The inference portion determines an optimum machining condition based on the data set in relation to the specifications. Consequently, a storing portion needs store only basic data relatively low in amount. <IMAGE>
