Control means for the relative displacement of the electrodes of an EDM apparatus

摘要

In an EDM apparatus in which the relative displacement between an electrode tool and an electrode workpiece is effected by a servo motor, a control system for the servo motor to effectuate the relative displacement of the electrodes at a speed depending from the machining conditions at the gap between the electrodes and from the difference between a reference position signal and a signal representing the actual relative position of the electrodes, such as to limit the relative displacement of the electrodes until a predetermined final relative position has been reached.
