Generation of Microelectrodes for Micro EDM

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to fabricate micro holes by EDM process, microelectrodes with high accuracy of form are needed. At present, micro electrodes are generated by grinding and/or on-machine EDM operations and then it is well known that efficient productivity of micro electrodes cannot be realized. Controlling method of thrust force for micro shaft is already proposed. Applying this method, thrust force is controlled to be 0 in turning operation, therefore microelectrodes are generated efficiently. Actually, microelectrode which diameter is less than 0.1 mm can be easily machined in short time. high-precision micro hole machining requires microelectrodes with high cylindricity. In this study, turning method for microelectrodes with high cylindricity is discussed.
