PURPOSE:To prevent a wire electrode from breaking without entailing any drop in a machining rate, by discriminating a gap state from frequency distribution of a voice signal in an electrode gap, while controlling a rising of pulse voltage to be impressed on the electrode gap according to the discriminated result. CONSTITUTION:A voice sensor 16, as a detecting device, comes into contact with a wire electrode 2 being stretched between upper and lower guides 8A and 8B, and this voice sensor 2 senses a voice signal in a gap transmitted via the wire electrode 2. A spark gap state discriminating device 17 amplifies the voice signal outputted out of the voice sensor 16, discriminating the frequency and performing an analytic process, thus it discriminates a spark gap state. According to the discriminated result, a rising of pulse voltage to be impressed on the spark gap between a work 1 and the wire electrode 2 is controlled. |
