Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 An electroerosion machine or apparatus 10 comprising a tubular cutting tool or electrode 12 is schematically shown. The apparatus includes a multi-axis numerically controlled (NC) machine 14 including a tool holder 16 that supports the electrode for rotation or spinning S in operation and has multiple axes of movement. The machine also comprises a suitable support table in the typical form of a rotating mandrel 18 supporting the workpiece 20 and preferably having an additional axis of movement.

[0030] Means in the form of a conventional direct current (DC) power source 22 are provided to transmit electrical energy through the electrode 12 and workpiece 20 in operation. The power supply includes suitable electrical leads 24 respectively connected to the electrode 12, which in one embodiment acts as the cathode (-), and to the workpiece, which acts as the anode (+). In other alternative embodiments, the polarity may be reversed to anodic electrodes and cathod...

Abstract

An electroerosion apparatus (10) includes a tubular electrode (12) supported in a tool head (16) in a multiaxis machine (14). The machine (14) is configured for spinning the electrode (12) along multiple axes of movement relative to a workpiece (20) supported on a spindle having an additional axis of movement. A power supply (22) powers the electrode (12) as a cathode and the workpiece (20) as an anode. Electrolyte (30) is circulated through the tubular electrode (12) during operation. And, a controller (32) is configured to operate the machine (14) and power supply (22) for distributing multiple electrical arcs between the electrode (12) and workpiece (20) for electroerosion thereof as the spinning electrode travels along its feedpath.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to manufacturing processes, and more specifically, the present invention relates to machining. Background technique [0002] Precision machining is typically achieved using multi-axis numerically controlled (NC) milling machines. The cutting tool is suspended from a tool holder having generally three orthogonal translational axes and corresponding one or more additional rotational axes. The workpiece or component to be machined is fixedly mounted on a base that provides it with an additional axis of translational or rotational movement. [0003] In operation, a numerically controlled (NC) machine is programmed into software that controls the machining or cutting path of a tool to precisely remove material from a workpiece to its desired final dimensions. A typical milling machine includes a rotating cutting tool with a controlled feed path to remove material from a workpiece in successive operations until the d...
