Abstract

The present invention is capable of improving machining accuracy and machining efficiency by providing a regular rest time during a cycle in which machining is considered to become unstable during machining performed by the self-oscillation of a capacitor discharge in which the inter-electrode capacitance of a capacitor is used. This electrical discharge machining apparatus is provided with: a power source; an inter-electrode space formed by an electrode and the workpiece; a current-limiting resistor connected between the power source and the inter-electrode space; a switching element for turning on and off the application of voltage from the power source to the inter-electrode space; an inductance element connected serially between the switching element and the inter-electrode space; and a control unit for controlling the switching element, the control unit causing the switching element to turn on and off according to a switching pattern having an on-pulse duration (ΔT on) such that during the on-pulse time the voltage of the inter-electrode space can reach the voltage of the power source, and a rest duration (ΔT off) that ranges from the duration (ΔT ic) of the discharge current flowing during discharge of the capacitor, to less than the self-oscillation cycle (ΔT so).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a discharge machining device. Background technique [0002] An electrical discharge machining device is a device that processes a workpiece by generating an arc discharge between a machining electrode and the workpiece. An electric discharge machining device requires a power source (machining power source) for generating arc discharge. There are currently various configurations of the machining power source. [0003] Among them, a capacitive discharge method using capacitance between electrodes existing in parallel between the electrodes is known. The basic circuit is composed of power supply, current limiting resistor, and capacitance between electrodes. When the capacitive element is connected in parallel between the electrodes, the capacitance between the electrodes is synthesized by the mechanical parasitic capacitance between the electrode and the workpiece and the capacitance of the capacitive element. When the capacit...
