  • Patent number: 6184485
    Abstract: A method for solving the problem that the machining accuracy in a corner part or in a circular arc is reduced by the line flexure during the wire-cut electric discharge machining. In the method, the controller of the wire-cut electric discharge machine with a built-in function of measuring error of wire flexure, after the machining, a detection voltage of the machine detects the machined groove. If the wire electrode comes into contact with the workpiece, the short-circuit caused by the wire flexure in the corner part or in a circular arc is detected, and then the compensation value of the wire flexure is gradually changed to continue the groove detection until the wire electrode and the workpiece are not short-circuited and the groove detection stops. Then the wire flexure value in the corner part or in the circular arc is obtained to establish the machining parameter data of the machine to automatically compensate the wire flexure value in the following machining.
