Problems solved by technology

In general, however, using data on electrode wear to estimate via completion may not be precise enough, and it may not be possible to avoid collisions of the electrode with other components or surfaces behind the via
Also, due to poor control of this penetration stage, the mass at the exit of the via may vary significantly
This can lead to cracking of the workpiece and instability of fluid flow, reducing the life of the workpiece

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical discharge machining (Electro Discharge Machining, EDM) system and method, in particular to an electrical discharge machining system and method for machining a through hole (Through Hole) on a workpiece. Background technique [0002] During electrical discharge machining, electrodes are placed over a conductive workpiece. A non-conductive machining fluid is passed between the electrode and the workpiece. At the same time, the current flows between the electrode and the workpiece to locally erode the workpiece to machine the desired features on the workpiece. In a typical application, electrodes are used to create through-holes in workpieces of any desired shape. [0003] For example, some gas turbines are often machined with small through holes to facilitate the passage of cooling gas. Usually, the process of processing through holes includes a breakthrough stage (Breakthrough Stage). In order to produc...
