Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of wire cutting equipment, in particular to a wire cutting equipment with automatic wire threading. Background Art

[0002] CNC wire cutting is a branch of EDM, which uses electrode wire to cut the workpiece by spark discharge. In CNC wire cutting, the relative movement of the workpiece and the electrode wire is controlled by digital information, and it is often used to process high-hardness materials, fine structures, complex shapes, high-precision dimensional parts, and high-surface quality parts. The influence of the electrode wire tension stability on the processing quality is an aspect that cannot be ignored. To ensure the processing quality, the tension of the electrode wire must be kept at an appropriate level throughout the processing process. The tension on the electrode wire is caused by the elastic deformation of the electrode wire in the length direction. The greater the deformation, the longer the electrode wire length, the smaller the tension generated, which will affect the processing. Before processing the corresponding workpiece, the electrode wire needs to be inserted into the wire threading hole of the processing device and wound. However, the diameter of the wire threading hole of the current processing device is often small, which is difficult to insert by hand and takes a long time, which seriously affects the production efficiency. At present, all CNC wire cutting machines require manual wire threading, which requires professional personnel to operate and is a complicated process. During the wire cutting process, if other cuts need to be made on the same workpiece, staff are required to be on duty and wait for one position to be cut before manually threading the wire and completing the next round of cutting. The production efficiency is low and the processing cost is high. Summary of the invention
