A miniaturized EDM device suitable to fixing on a robot

摘要

A miniaturized EDM (Electro Discharge Machining) device has been designed which is suitable to fixing on robot, and the whole system can motion mobile working. A novel control strategy of differential driving principle has been presented in order to solve the problem that electrode can't be revolved owing compact size has been resolved. Coaxial forced vibration of electrode is benefit for the evacuation of debris, and it helps to achieve stable and efficient machining. Analysis of harmonic response and the theoretical value of amplitude have been carried out. The optimal design of ultrasonic motor has been implemented using animate function of ANSYS and optimal design means, and the interference between teeth of stator has been avoided. Auto-frequency tracking has been completed, and electrode lateral vibration of electrode has been eliminated. Finally, the holes with figures of Φ85μm circle, Y have been machined.
