Wire electrical discharge machining is nowadays applied by using adequate specialized machine tools. A research problem could refer to a device for wire electrical discharge machining, adaptable on the current computer numerical controlled ram electrical discharge machines. The device could be able to be used in order to develop cutting processes in plate type workpieces. The wire electrical discharge machining process was examined and premises for developing a device for wire electrical discharge machining were formulated. These premises are used in order to develop an ideas diagram able to offer suggestions for the structure of the device. Distinct components necessary in the device structure were identified and taken into consideration, and three distinct versions of the device were defined.

Wire electrical discharge machining has appeared mainly in response to the need for detachment with sufficiently high accuracy of parts of plate-type workpieces. The improvements introduced later allowed the extension of this machining technology to obtain more complex ruled surfaces with increasingly high requirements regarding the quality of the machined surfaces and the productivity of the wire electrical discharge machining process. Therefore, it was normal for researchers to be interested in developing more and more in-depth investigations into the various aspects of wire electrical discharge machining. These studies focused first on improving the machining equipment, wire electrodes, and the devices used to position the clamping of a wire electrode and workpiece. A second objective pursued was determining the most suitable conditions for developing the machining process for certain proper situations. As output parameters, the machining productivity, the accuracy, and roughness of the machined surfaces, the wear of the wire electrode, and the changes generated in the surface layer obtained by machining were taken into account. There is a large number of scientific papers that have addressed issues related to wire electrical discharge machining. The authors aimed to reveal the aspects that characterize the process, phenomena, performances, and evolution trends specific to the wire electrical discharge machining processes, as they result from scientific works published mainly in the last two decades.

Technological advancement, on the one hand, made Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) much faster. One example of that is the presence of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining – High Speed (WEDM-HS) machine, which makes the material removal rate as high as 80 . On the other hand, it also made Abrasive Waterjet (AWJ) achieve much better quality surface and tighter tolerance. As a result, these two types of machining process have converged to the point where they can complement one another quite nicely in selected applications. However, it does not mean user may pick any one for their applications. The proper selection not only decreases the manufacturing costs but also achieves better quality. This paper focuses on comparing WEDM-HS with AWJ by actually cutting a special designed sample. Through comparison from several aspects which include dimension precision, surface roughness, cost, cutting time and surface damage, a proper selection guidance for regular user has been provided.
