  • Patent number: 7268314
    Abstract: A power supply device for electric discharge machining includes a switching circuit that supplies a discharge pulse current to an inter-electrode portion that is a portion between an electrode and a workpiece serving as another electrode arranged to be opposed to the electrode at a predetermined interval; and a pulse-width control unit that generates a control pulse signal of a predetermined pulse width in response to a detection signal for starting a discharge at the inter-electrode portion. The switching circuit includes a switching circuit including a switching element suitable for a high-speed operation and a switching circuit including a switching element suitable for a low-speed operation, and receives the control pulse signal in parallel.

  • Patent number: 7045735
    Abstract: Machining electrical power supply device for wire electrical discharge machining. Includes an electrical discharge state distinguishing circuit (6) for distinguishing at least two inter-electrode states, including electrical shorting and normal electrical discharge, between a wire electrode (E) and a workpiece (W), and an inter-electrode current waveform control means for supplying, and for switching between supply of, a triangular wave and a trapezoidal wave current to the electrodes. According to the inter-electrode state distinguished by the electrical discharge state distinguishing circuit (6), in cases where the inter-electrode state is that of electrical shorting (Y1), the inter-electrode current waveform control means supplies a triangular wave current (I) to the electrodes, and in cases where the inter-electrode state is that of normal electrical discharge (Y3), it supplies a trapezoidal wave current (I) to the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 6580048
    Abstract: Charge accumulated in a capacitor is used to provide a processing current flow between a target and an electrode. When a diode is turned on, a first dc power supply is used to provide the processing current flow between the target and the electrode. In this state, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the current supply using the first dc power supply is stopped, and an induced electromotive voltage, induced by two floating reactors, is used to rapidly drop the processing current flowing between the target and the electrode, while charging the capacitor.
