  • Publication number: 20120125895
    Abstract: A wire transmitting module, disposed inside a Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) apparatus having a roller set for providing a wire electrode, is disclosed, which comprises: a negative pressure generating device and a cylinder, being arranged for enabling the wire electrode to be drawn by the negative pressure of the negative pressure generating device so as to be sucked into the wire transmitting module automatically. When the diameter of the wire electrode is thinner than 0.1 mm, it may be too soft to be fed into the cylinder manually as it can easily be affected by airflow or static. Thus, by using the wire transmitting module for enabling the wire electrode to be sucked by the negative pressure and thus being fed into the cylinder, the electrode feeding efficiency can be greatly improved.
