ANORDNING FOR AVSKILJNING AV TRAD- ELLER BANDFORMIGA ELEKTRODER I EN ELEKTROEROSIONSMASKIN

摘要

A device is disclosed for breaking off the wire-like or strip-like consumed electrode in electro-erosion machines for the processing of workpieces. At a delivery side of the device the consumed electrode is moved by feed rollers into a gap between the surface of an anvil and a multi-edge bit which rotates in front of this surface and is driven by the feed rollers. The rotating bit edges groove the electrode on the anvil surface to cut it into small pieces which fall into a collector container.
