Abstract
Automated wire connection is performed, and when the wire connection succeeds, the wire feed rate during the next connection is set to a value one stage faster. On the other hand, when connection fails the wire feed rate is set to a value one stage slower.
Claims10
Wire electric discharge machine, comprising:
- an automated connection device, which performs automated connection of a wire electrode with respect to a wire through-hole, and judges whether the wire automated connection has succeeded or not;
- and,
- means for increasing by a prescribed amount the wire feed rate during the next connection when the wire connection in the previous automated connection attempt has succeeded, and for causing automated connection to be performed.
Wire electric discharge machine, comprising:
- an automated connection device, which performs automated connection of a wire electrode with respect to a wire through-hole, and judges whether the wire automated connection has succeeded;
- storage means for storing wire feed rate information during wire connection at a through-hole and wire connection judgment result information, in correspondence with through-hole position information;
- and,
- means for increasing by a prescribed amount the wire feed rate during the next connection when the previous judgment result for the same through-hole indicates successful wire connection.
