Haruya Kurihara has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11890691
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to make it possible to maintain a stable electric discharge and to achieve a stable quality and machining performance even when a work having a non-uniform composition is machined. A wire electric discharge machining device performs electric discharge machining on a work while controlling an inter-electrode distance between a wire and the work based on an inter-electrode voltage between the wire and the work so as to match a set target voltage. The wire electric discharge machining device includes an inter-electrode voltage measuring unit that measures the inter-electrode voltage, an actual amplitude calculating unit that calculates an amplitude of the measured inter-electrode voltage, and a target voltage correcting unit that corrects the target voltage in such a way that the calculated amplitude approaches the target amplitude that is set to a value larger than zero.

  • Patent number: 9707636
    Abstract: A wire electrical discharge machining apparatus includes: multiple main rollers around which a wire winds in parallel; multiple workpiece feeding units for feeding the workpiece toward the wire; a machining power supply unit for supplying a machining voltage to the workpiece; and a power supply terminal for supplying the machining voltage to the wire. The multiple workpiece feeding units are respectively arranged at a first position for feeding the workpiece toward a wire portion having a wire plane of the wire and a second position for feeding another workpiece toward another wire portion having another wire plane of the wire. The power supply terminal is arranged at a third position between the first position and the second position. The machining voltage supplied from the single machining power supply unit is supplied to the workpieces to be electrically discharge machined by the multiple workpiece feeding units.

  • Patent number: 9364910
    Abstract: A mechanism capable of decreasing wires which are not appropriately supplied with power and performing the electrical discharge machining high in uniformity between multiple wires. A wire electrical discharge machining system configured to slice a workpiece at an interval of wires arranged side by side at equally spaced intervals causes the wire to travel in the same direction and includes a power feed contact configured to collectively supply a machining power supply to a plurality of the traveling wires, in which two adjacent power feed contacts respectively come into contact with the plurality of the wires supplied with the machining power supply and arranged without being aligned in the direction vertical to the direction in which the wire travels.
