Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical discharge machining technology in mechanical engineering, specifically to an oblique small hole electrical discharge machining device. Background Technology

[0002] The oblique small hole EDM device is an EDM device used to process oblique small holes on the surface of workpieces. It is mainly used in mold manufacturing, precision parts processing and other fields, and can achieve high-precision and complex-angle small hole processing.

[0003] Traditional oblique pinhole EDM devices typically achieve this by adjusting the angle of the hollow pinhole electrode or the workpiece angle. However, when machining oblique pinholes on thicker workpieces, a hollow pinhole electrode of a certain length needs to be advanced deeper into the workpiece. Because of the electrode's length, the end is prone to bending during this process due to a lack of stability, affecting the machining quality. Therefore, we propose an oblique pinhole EDM device to address these issues. Utility Model Content
