To provide constant tension on an electro-erosive electrode machining wire, tape or ribbon stretched in a working path between advancing rollers and pulling rollers, a tension loading arrangement, for example weights, springs, or the like, are applied to the wire to maintain the tension thereof at a constant value. The deflection of the wire, due to elongation thereof as a result of heating, differences in manufacturing technologies and the like, is sensed and fed back to the motors driving the advancing and pulling rotors to maintain the tension, as controlled by the motor torques and speeds at a uniform value. |
