  • Publication number: 20230083342
    Abstract: Provided are a wire electric discharge machine, a correction device, and a correction method which accurately correct position information indicating the position of a supporting point of each of an upper guide and a lower guide. The correction device includes: a storage unit that stores the position information; an inclination control unit that causes a wire electrode to incline at a predetermined angle; a measurement unit that measures a relative movement amount from a state in which the lower guide and a measurement site are separated by a predetermined distance in a relative movement direction to a state in which the wire electrode inclined at the predetermined angle reaches the measurement site; and an information, correction unit that corrects the position information of the storage unit on the basis of the predetermined angle and the relative movement amount.

  • Patent number: 11067961
    Abstract: A machine learning device provided in a controller for controlling a wire electrical discharge machine uses state variables (including data relating to a correction amount, a machining path, machining conditions, and a machining environment) observed by a state observation unit and determination data acquired by a determination data acquisition unit to machine-learn a correction for a machining path. Using the learning result, the machining path can be corrected automatically and accurately on the basis of a partial machining path, the machining conditions and the machining environment of the machining performed by the wire electrical discharge machine.
