Heat source is separated from machine tool Dielectric circulation Air circulation AP3L: Minimizes the Thermal Effect Both dielectric and air are circulated through the machine tool. Dielectric is used as a chiller of the drive to maintain the machine temperature. Air is also circulated throughout the machine structure to minimize the external thermal effect, which eliminates the need of insulation cover. Heat sources such as power supply and pump are installed separately to avoid heat transfer to cutting area.
Case Study with AP1L #1 Angle on the bottom surface: 135º Customers application; Aerospace industry Steel • Drill a cavity of ø1.22mm with tip angle of 135º • Turn the workpiece by 180º and drill a hole of ø0.222mm in its center All of the cutting including electrode dressing is performed by AP1L
Case Study with AP1L #1 Electrode (CuW) Step #1: Drill the cavity of ø1.22mm with tip angle of 135º CuW block for dressing ø1.2mm electrode Workpiece CuW block for forming angle of 135º Ø1.5mm electrode is dressed down to Ø1.2mm (length= 20mm) with Copper Tungsten block After that, angle of 135º is formed on the electrode tip with CuW block in the front Total dressing time= 19min, with spindle of 1400rpm Workpiece Cutting time: 2h 10min (12holes)
Case Study with AP1L #1 Step #2: Turn the workpiece by 180º and drill ø0.222mm hole in its center Electrode (AgW) AgW block for forming ø0.17mm electrode Ø0.5mm electrode is dressed down to Ø0.17mm (length= 7mm) with Silver Tungsten block Electrode dressing time= 10min, with spindle of 1400rpm Workpiece Cutting time: 1h 16min (12holes)
Case Study with AP1L #1 Cutting results Step #1, Cavity Target: ø1.220mm Actual: ø1.222 – 1.227mm Cutting time: 2h 10min (12holes) Step #2, Through hole Target: ø0.2220mm Actual: ø0.2215 – 0.2226mm Cutting time: 1h 16min (12holes)
Case Study with AP1L #2 • Contouring cut • Electrode: Ø0.131mm AgW • Cutting time: 3 hours • Slit width: 0.151 – 0.155mm • Slit depth: 0.302 – 0.304mm • B) Electrode: Ø0.277mm AgW • Cutting time: 5h 30min • Slit width: 0.302 – 0.306mm • Slit depth: 0.597 – 0.599mm A) Slit of 0.15mm, depth 0.3mm B) Slit of 0.3mm, depth 0.6mm
Advantages of Hole Drilling with AP1L • High accuracy can be achieved, especially with cavity cuttings • Possible to make angles on cavity bottom • Electrodes can be dressed to any size of diameter down to ø15µm (material=AgW)
