A wire electrode is placed opposite a conductive workpiece through a small gap, machining fluid is supplied between the workpiece and the wire electrode, and pulsed discharge is repeated under the mediation of the machining fluid. A wire electrical discharge machining apparatus that generates electrical discharge energy to cut a workpiece is well known, and has the advantage of being able to easily perform complex cutting of hard metals and the like with high accuracy.
しかし、被加工物を放電切断加工しようとする
場合には、ワイヤ電極を被加工物中に貫通させる
ようにして供給することが必要である。 However, when a workpiece is to be subjected to electrical discharge cutting, it is necessary to supply the wire electrode so as to penetrate the workpiece.

的に行なうものと、人手によるものとがある。 Wire electrodes are usually made of thin metal;
The wire electrode may often break due to an abnormal situation during electrical discharge machining. In such cases, move the X-Y cross table to the machining start position and replace the wire electrode with a new one at the machining start position. Let it be repaired. This wire electrode repair work may be performed automatically or manually.

開始した後、パルス性の放電を発生させ、ワイヤ
電極断線前の放電切断加工を続行させている。 After the repair of the wire electrode is completed, the wire electrode is supplied one after another, passing through the gap in the already processed trajectory, returning to the wire electrode breakage position, and after returning, continuing the cutting process before the wire electrode breakage from the wire electrode breakage position. In order to achieve this, after starting the supply of machining fluid to the wire electrode and workpiece, a pulsed discharge is generated to continue the discharge cutting process before the wire electrode is disconnected.

It has been stopped. When the wire electrode 1 passes through the machining trajectory 3, the wire electrode 1 and the workpiece 2 come into contact due to the influence of the amplitude of the wire electrode, etc., and the wire electrode 1 is cut by the workpiece 2. Debris 4 is generated, leading to a short circuit phenomenon. Furthermore, this aggravation of the cutting phenomenon may lead to disconnection of the wire electrode.

を得ない。 In this way, when returning to the wire electrode disconnection position,
The wire electrode passes through the gap of the already machined trajectory, but the gap through which the wire electrode passes is usually very small, about 0.05 mm to 0.06 mm plus the diameter of the wire electrode. When the electrode passes through the gap of the already machined trajectory, the wire electrode often comes into contact with the workpiece, so that the wire electrode is cut by the workpiece, generating cutting waste, and the cutting waste causes the wire electrode to When the wire electrode and the workpiece are short-circuited and the wire electrode returns to the disconnection position and attempts to continue the electric discharge cutting process, the electric discharge cannot be generated because of the short circuit, and the electric discharge cutting process has to be abandoned.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to repair the wire electrode at the machining start position and then pass through the gap of the already machining trajectory when the wire electrode of a wire electric discharge machining device is disconnected. When the wire electrode returns to the broken position and continues electrical discharge cutting, it prevents contact between the wire electrode and the workpiece when it passes through the gap in the machining trajectory, and generates cutting debris from the wire electrode. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wire electrical discharge machining apparatus that eliminates wire electrode breakage and smoothly continues electrical discharge machining when the wire electrode breaks.

を備えたことを特徴とするものである。 In order to achieve the above object, a wire electrical discharge machining apparatus according to the present invention has a wire electrode facing a conductive workpiece through a minute gap, and a machining fluid supplied to the minute gap. The workpiece is cut by the generated discharge energy, and when the wire electrode breaks, the wire electrode is automatically moved to the machining start position via the X-Y cross table, and the wire electrode is cut at the machining start position. In the wire electrical discharge machining apparatus, the wire electrode returns to the wire electrode breakage position while passing through the gap of the already machined locus after repairing the wire, and then continues machining by generating electrical discharge energy. The present invention is characterized by comprising machining fluid supply means for supplying a reduced amount of machining fluid between the wire electrode and the workpiece, which is different from the amount of machining fluid supplied during electrical discharge machining, when returning to the electrode disconnection position. .

2との接触が防止できることは明白である。 In order to prevent contact when the wire electrode 1 passes through the gap 3 of the machining trajectory, machining fluid 7 is jetted from the upper and lower machining fluid supply nozzles 5 and 6 to form the machining process in the gap between the wire electrode 1 and the workpiece 2. Inject the liquid. As a result, since the wire electrode and the workpiece are blocked by a kind of insulating buffer, it is clear that contact between the wire electrode 1 and the workpiece 2 can be prevented.

によりワイヤ電極1の破損が防止できる。 In addition, generally pure water is used as the machining fluid, and even if the wire electrode 1 and the workpiece 2 come into contact, the machining fluid acts as a lubricant and reduces the coefficient of friction, so that the wire electrode 1 Damage can be prevented.

に実現できる。 However, if the amount of machining fluid 7 ejected is large, the machining fluid 7 will promote the amplitude phenomenon or deflection phenomenon of the wire electrode, and the contact prevention function of the machining fluid will become meaningless. In order to prevent the amplitude phenomenon and deflection phenomenon of the wire electrode caused by this machining fluid and to prevent contact between the wire electrode 1 and the workpiece 2 due to the machining fluid, the machining fluid is supplied at a spouting amount of the machining fluid 7 as shown in Fig. 4. By controlling the solenoid valve 9 for adjusting the amount of machining fluid in the tank 8 and supplying machining fluid with a small amount of machining fluid ejected, the amplitude and deflection of the wire electrode 1 are eliminated, and the wire electrode due to the machining fluid is Both of this and prevention of contact with the workpiece can be achieved at the same time.
