Abstract: A wire electric discharge machine has a function for controlling the machining liquid temperature. When it is predicted that the machining liquid temperature rises linearly, the machining liquid begins to be warmed at time t5b to reach machining liquid control temperature T2 at human operation beginning time t2. If the temperature rise at predetermined later time t8 is greater than predicted, temperature rising suspended from time t8 to a later time t9. Temperature rising resumed at time t9. This allows the machining liquid temperature to reach the machining liquid control temperature T2 without wasting electric power.

Abstract: A primary power supply charges a capacitor by turning on a switching element and, upon completion of charging, turns off the switching element. Then, an AC pulse voltage is applied to the gap between a wire electrode and a workpiece by alternately turning on and off a switching element present in a secondary power supply. After a dielectric breakdown occurs between the wire electrode and the workpiece, the switching element is turned on to connect the capacitor so that the capacitor supplies a pulse current for machining.
