Aspects Regarding the Technologies on Wire EDM CNC Machines

Abstract:

The present paper presents an application for the computer aided generation of the programs for the wire cut EDM CNC machine ONA AE 300. The technological performances of this machine are highlighted, along with the implications of the work regimes on the generation of the machine programs. The application is developed for the AutoCAD environment, being written in VB.NET. The trajectories are defined as polylines between the Start and Stop points and the technological information is introduced by the user inside a dialog. The output of the application is a text file with the complete program for the ONA AE 300 machine.
