2 Outline Introduction EDM technology Latest innovations in Electroerosion Machining: a smart machine The Fofdation project E-tracking system for wire-edm: a smart environment Conclusions and perspectives 2 EPHJ FOF 2014

3 Electric Discharge Machining: What is it? No mechanical contact between the tool and the workpiece A controlled discharge is produced in the gap filled by a dielectric liquid The discharge melts and evaporates the workpiece material: In die-sinking EDM the electrode shape is printed in the workpiece In wire-edm a profile is cut along a pre-determined path 3 EPHJ FOF 2014
