Abstract
A wire cutting device for an electrical discharge machining (EDM) machine with a wire draw-off device, which moves a wire electrode along a feed direction into a cutting zone of the EDM machine; and with a deflection unit in order to deflect the wire electrode running in the feed direction into the cutting zone from the feed direction into a cutting area, in which at least one cutting edge acts on the wire electrode in the cutting area in order to cut it.
Claims19
Wire cutting device for an electrical discharge machining (EDM) machine comprising:
- a wire draw-off device that moves a wire electrode along a feed direction into a cutting zone of the EDM machine;
- and,
- a deflection unit that deflects the wire electrode running into the cutting zone in the feed direction into a cutting area so that at least one cutting edge acts on the wire electrode in the cutting area in order to cut the wire electrode.
Method for cutting of a wire electrode in an electrical discharge machining (EDM) machine, comprising:
- moving a wire electrode along a feed direction into a cutting zone of an EDM machine;
- and deflects the wire electrode from the feed direction into a cutting area so that at least one cutting edge acts on the wire electrode in the cutting area in order to cut the wire electrode.
