Abstract

See full text

A method and an apparatus for controlling a spark erosion process between a workpiece and an electrode for instance a microdrilling electrode, so that the erosion process becomes less susceptible to a malfunction, in that at least one process parameter is measured along a first test interval of the section to be eroded, at least one control value is deduced form the measured values, and this control value is used in a subsequent erosion interval of the section to be eroded. The control value is preferably used for controlling a suitable feed rate of the electrode. The susceptibility to malfunctions is further lessened, in that a differentiation is made between mechanical and other short circuits and in that the electrode movement is controlled differently for mechanical short circuits than for other short circuits.
