This paper presents a PMAC-based combined CNC machine that integrates technologies of ultrasonic machining, electrical discharge machining and high speed grinding. As a multifunctional machine, it can provide diverse machining methods for different materials. For hard and brittle materials, it can conduct ultrasonic machining and high-speed grinding respectively or in a combined form; for conductive hard and brittle materials, electrical discharge machining with or without ultrasonic vibration could be implemented. Driven by AC servomotors, the mechanical structure of the vertical machine is mainly composed of a cross workbench for work piece handling, and a spindle head for tool feeding or high speed rotating. Besides those mentioned above, the system management program, the pulse power generator as well as the ultrasonic generator are also analyzed in this paper. Experimental results show that this machine has a wide range of application indeed and is suitable for various materials processing.

Micro ultrasonic Machining (MUSM) is useful for producing micro parts in brittle materials, especially ceramics. By use of suitable micro metallic dies, the efficiency of fabrication can be significantly enhanced. In this study, the LIGA process was used to generate micro nickel dies, which also served as microelectrodes in Die-sinking Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) to produce micro tungsten dies for MUSM. With these micro metallic dies, micro ceramic components were fabricated.

Abstract. This paper analyses the technological capabilities of a novel rotary (EDM) electrical discharge machining process for the manufacturing of high aspect ratio cylindrical micro-components. The process is called Inverse Electrical Discharge Grinding (ISEDM). An experimental analysis has been carried out on high speed steel (tool steel Vanadis 23), using a conventional EDM machine and graphite electrode. The effect of pulse off-time, work piece final diameter and machining length on material removal rate, electrode wear ratio, radial accuracy and surface roughness has been quantified. From the study, optimum strategies that involve the use of different EDM regimes for achieving the optimum requirements can be defined. Micro-pins of 0.3 mm diameter with aspect ratio as high as 100:1 have been successfully manufactured.

A new method was adopted in this study to machine C/SiC composite. The machinability was studied by processing some shapes in the material in this way. Small deep holes were machined firstly to test whether the copper electrode was suitable enough to be adopted in the Electrical Discharge Machining. Then holes of different diameters were processed by two kinds of electrodes to study the more appropriate electrode material by comparing machining efficiency of two electrodes. Then complicated shapes were machined based on these conditions. Finally, a simulation model was built up to study the influence of the fluid on the electrode and the workpiece in the Fluent 6.3. According to the study, Electrical Discharge Machining Technology is suitable enough to machine the hard and brittle materials like C/SiC composite and the accuracy that the error should not exceed 0.5 mm can also be guaranteed well.

In this paper, a novel Pulsed-Width-Modulated (PWM) half-bridge High Speed Drilling Electrical Discharge Machining (HSDEDM) power supply has been developed. This power supply has excellent features that include minimal component count and inherent protection. This topology has an energy conservation feature and eliminates the output bulk capacitors and current limiting resistances. Energy used in the erosion process will be controlled by the switched Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) in the half-bridge network and be transferred to the gap between the tool and work-piece. The relative tool wear and machining speed of our proposed topology have been compared with that of a normal power supply with current limiting resistances.

Electrical discharge machining has the capability of machining all conductive materials regardless of hardness, and has the ability to deal with complex shapes. However, the speed and accuracy of conventional EDM are limited by probability and efficiency of the electrical discharges. This paper describes a three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) controlled, wide-bandwidth, high-precision, long-stroke magnetic drive actuator. The actuator can be attached to conventional electrical discharge machines to realize a high-speed and high-accuracy EDM. The actuator primarily consists of thrust and radial magnetic bearings, thrust and radial air bearings and a magnetic coupling mechanism. By using the thrust and radial magnetic bearings, the translational motions of the spindle can be controlled. The magnetic drive actuator possesses a positioning resolution of the order of micrometer, a bandwidth greater than 100Hz and a positioning stroke of 2mm.

Current Behavior

In electrical discharge machining (EDM), an electrical discharge occurs between a tool electrode and a work-piece, and removal of materials is carried out by vaporized explosion between the electrode and the work-piece. However, the mechanism of material removal in EDM is not well understood. In order to clarify this issue, the acoustic emission (AE) method has been applied to examine the force of explosion, and the Schlieren visualization method has been applied to observe the explosion. In this study, we investigate the effect of discharge current behavior on the occurrence of the AE waves by means of an optical fiber vibration sensor.

Inconel-718 is a nickel based super alloy (difficult-to-cut material) used in aerospace industry. Analysis of machining performances viz. Over Cut (OC) & Surface Roughness (SR) for Inconel-718 through rotary Cu-pin tool electrode have been carried out. Peak current (Ip), pulse-on time (Ton), tool rotation (Nt) & hole depth (h) were used as input factors in Electrical Discharge Drilling (EDD) of Inconel-718 work-piece. Effect of input parameters on performance characteristics like OC & SR were found by Taguchi’s L9 (34) orthogonal array. It is reveals that Ip & h are most affecting factors that affects OC & SR. The Scanning Electron Microscope image was used to measure diameter of hole on work-piece after machining.
