Abstract

Micro-EDM technology for the manufacture of miniature parts is used to make a micro hole. In this study, an electrode shaping method by using previously machined hole is introduced to obtain an optimal hole-making condition. Key factors such as applied voltage, capacitance, feedrate, and hole-dimension have an influence on the fabricating error of electrode shaping, which are taper ratio of a hole, electrode form accuracy, and electrode surface. Therefore, the optimal fabricating of electrode shaping investigates from various experiments. Results from experiments, it could minimize the electrode fabricating error as voltage increases, and also applied feedrate and capacitance decreases.
