POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ELECTROLYTIC PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

A power supply system for an electrolytic processing apparatus of the type having an electrtode which is positioned to oppose a work within an electrolyte such that the work is processed and finished by discharge of pulses between the work and the electrode. The power supply system has a discharge section including a plurality of capacitors connected in parallel and adapted for discharging charges to the gap between the work and the electrode which face each other across the electrolyte, rectifiers connected to the capacitors such as to prevent reversing of current to the power supply side, and discharge switches connected to the capacitors and adapted to be opened and closed so as to selectively enable the capacitors to discharge the charges. The system also has a power supply section for supplying predetermined electric power to the capacitors; a charging section for selectively transferring the power from the power supply section so as to charge the capacitors in a desired manner. The system further has a control section for opening and closing the discharge switches thereby controlling the discharge of charges from the capacitors.
