Objectives
Scope
1. Theoretical explanation of (i) the process of material removal and (ii) process parameters
associated with EDM
2. Brief explanation of the various functional elements of the machining system
3. Demonstration of WEDM
Introduction
2. Clearly distinguish it from other unconventional material removal processes and identify
the various applications of the process.
With a neat schematic diagram and brief description, show the various elements of the WEDM system
as observed in the demonstration. The schematic diagram should include the following elements.
1. Machine Frame
2. Work Holding System
3. Electrode Head Assembly
4. Wire Feed Mechanism
5. Dielectric Pumping System
6. Control Panel and various modes of operation like Auto, Dry, Single Block
7. PC – WEDM system Interface
