The user needs: Y
The offset and the rotation of an X
electrode (A) to a chuck (B).
What the user makes available:

- a high-exact chuck on the
B
CMM (B)
- a same chuck in the EDM
machine
- an electrode (A) with attachment
(C) for the chuck A
24.07.02/ Ggi
General
Every CMM user can generate
offset Data for EDM operation C
Case A Y
The CMM generates offset information X
(X,Y, Z and Rotation angle C),

Results are entered manually into
EDM System
- Pro: no interface necessary
-- Con: time consuming and prone to operator typing error
24.07.02/ Ggi
Case B
Step1
CMM generated offsets are transmitted automatically via
interface to EDM controller.
The Special Option EDM in UMESS UX, Calypso or

ScanWarePRO main function is:
Save values of 2 different Coordinate Systems to an ASCII-file
with a given file name ERODIER. EDM
24.07.02/ Ggi
Case B
Step 2 ( This step occurs automatically each time of arrival of
new file to Controller of EDM System)
- The Program EPOST.EXE calculates from both coordinate systems the

Offset X,Y.Z and Rotation Angle C and additional into an ASCII-file of selected
EDM system
- This EDM–file recognizes Controller of EDM System

- The only necessary input by Operator is the Type of EDM
System and File-name. (EPOST.EXE acts automatically)
