Data output improvements for INGERSOLL

18. November 2019 | Tips & Tricks

In SMARTElectrode 12.0.1.3 the data output for die-sinking EDM machines from INGERSOLL has been improved. A new feature is the output of the electrode type, which results from the e technology specifications in the electrode properties:
data output for die-sinking EDM machines

This distribution results in the following data in the transfer:

1.EdmElUndersize=0.1000
GenTypEl1:RO
2.EdmElUndersize=0.1000
GenTypEl2:RO
3.EdmElUndersize=0.1000
GenTypEl3:RO
4.EdmElUndersize=0.1000
GenTypEl4:RO
5.EdmElUndersize=0.0750
GenTypEl5:PF
6.EdmElUndersize=0.0750
GenTypEl6:PF
7.EdmElUndersize=0.0750
GenTypEl7:PF
8.EdmElUndersize=0.0500
GenTypEl8:FI
9.EdmElUndersize=0.0500
GenTypEl9:FI
10.EdmElUndersize=0.0250
GenTypEl10:FF

The abbreviations for the user-defined electrode types ‘GenTypEl…’ stand for :

  • RO’ roughing/roughing
  • PF’ prefinish/prefinishing
  • FI’ finish/finishing and
  • FF’ fine finish/Polishing
