The Basic Processing of Die Sinking EDM

Die sinking EDM is an advanced equipment widely used in the field of mechanical processing, utilizing the principle of electrical discharge to process workpieces into various complex shapes. Mastering the basic processing methods of the die sinking EDM can not only improve processing efficiency but also ensure processing quality. The following is a quick guide to basic processing with the die sinking EDM, helping you master operation skills in a short time.


Preparation Before Die Sinking EDM Processing


Before using the die sinking EDM for processing, it is crucial to ensure that all preparatory work is accurate. Firstly, carefully read the workpiece drawings and understand the required shape, dimensions, and precision requirements. This will lay the foundation for the subsequent processing.


Next, select appropriate electrode materials and specifications. The choice of electrode directly affects the processing effect, so it must be ensured that the electrode is compatible with the workpiece material. At the same time, adjust various parameters of the die sinking EDM according to the electrode and workpiece material, including pulse width, pulse interval, and processing speed. The reasonable setting of these parameters will determine the final processing precision and efficiency.


Electrode Installation and Positioning for Die Sinking EDM


The installation and positioning of the electrode are crucial for the processing quality of the die sinking EDM. First, install the electrode in the fixture of the die sinking EDM, ensuring the relative position of the electrode and the workpiece is accurate. Precise positioning of the electrode helps ensure the uniformity of electrical discharge during processing, thereby improving processing quality.


Adjust the position of the electrode through the coordinate axes of the die sinking EDM to make it parallel to the workpiece surface. This step not only ensures the effectiveness of electrical discharge during processing but also avoids processing errors caused by asymmetry between the electrode and the workpiece.


Die Sinking EDM Processing Procedure


During the processing with the die sinking EDM, it is necessary to ensure real-time monitoring of the processing progress and the surface quality of the workpiece. Correctly place the workpiece on the worktable of the die sinking EDM and fix it, then start the equipment to begin processing. Observe the processing situation and adjust the parameters of the die sinking EDM, such as pulse width, pulse interval, and processing speed, in time to optimize the processing effect.


The flexibility of the die sinking EDM allows for real-time adjustments of processing parameters to solve any problems that arise during processing. This real-time adjustment capability can effectively improve processing efficiency and ensure that processing quality meets expectations.


Post-Processing of Die Sinking EDM


After processing is completed, remove the workpiece and clean it. A clean workpiece surface helps with subsequent quality checks. Inspect the surface quality of the workpiece, and if any issues are found, they should be dealt with promptly to ensure the workpiece meets design requirements.


Finally, perform the necessary subsequent treatments on the workpiece, such as grinding and polishing, to enhance its final quality. These post-processing steps can not only improve the surface finish of the workpiece but also ensure its performance in practical applications.
