Abstract:In conventional Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), the speed and accuracy are limited by probability and efficiency of the electrical discharges. To improve the machining speed and accuracy, we developed a high-speed, high-precision, 3-DOF controlled local actuator. For the actuator, a voice coil motor type of magnetic bearing having a positioning stroke of a few millimeters is used to control the motion of an electrode in the thrust direction in order to speedily maintain a suitable distance from the workp… Show more
