High-power, low-inertia DC motors drive the axis slides and working head via
ball-screw spindles and pre-clamped spindle nuts. Precise bearing governors
allow rapid and sensitive stabilisation of eroding gaps ranging from large to very small.
In combination with the rigid structure, this drive system is the foundation
for outstanding eroding results in the roughing-down and fine-finishing area (erosion polishing).
Direct-measuring linear measuring bars prevent pitch and transmission errors,
thus ensuring high positional accuracy. Resolution from 0.001 mm to 0.0001mm
The requirement for good accessibility and automation is fulfilled to a
considerable degree by the elevating holder, which can be positioned to allow
for the height of the workpiece. Completely free access to the workpiece is
available from all sides. This constructional design facilitates automated
loading, unloading, and automatic lifting front door. Monitoring
Trouble-free operation is dependent upon a range of monitoring devices.
- A height detector monitors maintenance of the set height
- Temperature monitors protect the machine from possible overheating of the dielectric - A safety cut-out in the Z-Axis disconnects the working voltage before the
electrode rises above the set dielectric level, dependably ensuring that
the dielectric does not ignite
Thorough rinsing is important for trouble-free operation. The working head is
fitted with several connection points. Suction or pressure-rinsing can be
selected. Automatic intermittent rinsing operates on all the connections.
A variety of dielectric assemblies may be linked to the machine, depending on
the work tasks and plant sizes. The size depends on the generator output. TRANSOR FILTER SYSTEM MODEL 24490/2-5000S WITH AUTOMATIC BACKFLUSING AND A

Planetary erosion is possible as:
- 2-dimensionsal widening at a right angle to the direction of the bore (on
one side or circumferentially)
- 3-dimensional widening with:
- Stepped positioning along the bore
- Boring with overlaid planetary motion
All generator settings are programmed as index codes
- Rotate electrode through an angle (CNC parts)
- Exchange electrode are pre-installed and programmable on the screen. Operational Aids
Parallel programming while the machine is running saves setting-up time.
"Editing functions" such as program enter, program amend, add instructions,
and read/print NC program make programming the machine extremely simple.
Multimedia application with speech input, help texts and video sequences on
the TFT monitor simplify operation of the plant in all menu areas.
DEVELOPMENT II CNC CONTROL UNIT:
The 4-axis CNC Control Unit is designed for the specific requirements of
Thus the control unit makes possible a self-operating sequence of whatever
processing steps are desired to produce a complex workpiece.
Operational and programming data is entered via a 14" VGA-TFT touch monitor
with changeable operating elements and help-text functions. Output is
displayed on a second 14" VGA-TFT monitor. Parallel programming is possible
during eroding. All information and data required for eroding is stored in
the memory and can be retrieved on screen and allocated to each programming step.
Programing is performed in DIN with G-function for axis selection, M and S
functions for machine commands, T functions for tool exchangers, and H functions for technology retrievals.
Pre-set cycles for planetary selections are integrated in the control unit.
These include circle, taper, ball, star, corner and surface, and are rotatable
in space by 90 degrees in all three axes. A co-ordinate transformation
facility allowing any desired spatial rotation in steps of 0.1 degrees over a
range of 360 degrees is available as an option.
The control unit allows "bore erosion" in all four axes individually or
linearly, two or three dimensionally, boring with superimposed planetary
automated sparking, and reverse travel limitation in all axes.
Automatic removal is programmable. Removal advance may be set to operate
logarithmically, or linearly in the planetary to the centre, or over a range of 45 degrees.
The control unit architecture incorporates real-time cycles of 1mS for the
input, processing and output or eroding processes and path positions. By
Systematic adherance to development stages, this is designed entirely in the 32-bit format.
The following menu functions are available as operational modes:
- Set-up menu with: travel function, positioning function, reference-point travel, teach-in programming, tool exchanger, rotation and C-Axis menu.
- Program menu with: program listing, re-setting, loading, storing and copying of programs.
- Automatic menu with: program retrieval, technology retrieval, single-step and sequenced step processing, erosion monitor and erosion analysis function.
- Technology menu with: loading and storage function, editing and copying function, and search function with freely selectable criteria.
- Service menu with: machine parameter editing, self-diagnosis and software optimisation functions.
Travel Measurement System Resolution in the X, Y and Z Axes is 0.001 mm, or optionally 0.0001 mm. The
C-Axis has a mechanical resolution of 1.2 million points over 360 degrees and
an indicated resolution of 0.001 degrees.
