Remote Machining by EDM System with Human-Assisted Intervention

Abstract

In recent years, the application domain of electrical discharge machining is expanded. In response, we are developing the machining system which can change parameters on real time during operation. Although research support of different electrical discharge machining from the former is attained by this system, contingencies, such as combustion, are easy to occur and are dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to isolate a processing machine from an operator and to secure safety. In this research, we report a realization of remote environment between processing machine and operator.
