Electronica india limited eNova OS, 1S &2S Machine & P.F. Unit Operating Manual Page ii
1 Introduction of Machine Tool
The ELEKTRA Wire cut electrical discharge machine comprises of Machine Tool, a power supply
unit, a Dielectric unit and a chiller unit.
The machine tool unit comprises of a main worktable (fixed type) on which the work-piece is
clamped, a moving column on X & Y axes, wire drive mechanism and auxiliary axes U & V, and
vertical axis Z are mounted on the moving column. The X and Y axes are moved in steps of 0.5
micron by means of AC servo motor. The U & V axes are parallel to X & Y axes respectively.
The traveling wire which is continuously fed from wire feed spool which moves through the work-
piece and is supported under tension between a pair of wire guides which are located at the
opposite sides of the work-piece. The lower wire guide is stationary whereas the upper wire guide
which is supported by the U-V table can be displaced transversely, along U and V axes, with
respect to the lower wire guide. The upper wire guide can also be positioned along Z axis by
moving the quill. A series of electrical pulses generated by the pulse generator unit are applied
between the work-piece and the traveling wire electrode, to cause the erosion of the work-piece
material. As the material removal or machining proceeds, the worktable carrying the work-piece is
displaced transversely by the X-Y controller and the driver along a predetermined path
programmed in the controller. The path specifications can be supplied to the controller via a
program, which is stored on USB, control panel, or directly to the controller (MDI made) When the
X-Y table is moving along the predetermined path, if the U-V table is kept stationary, a straight cut
with a predetermined pattern is formed. In order to produce taper machining, the wire electrode has
to be tilted. This is achieved by displacing the upper wire guide (along U-V axes) with respect to the
lower wire guide.
The desired taper angle is achieved by simultaneous control of the movement of X-Y axes and U-V
axes with their respective predetermined paths stored in the controller. The path information of X-Y
table and U-V table is supplied to the controller in terms of linear and circular elements via storage
media. While the machining is continued, the machine zone is continuously flushed with water
passing through the nozzles on the both sides of the work-piece. Since water is used as a dielectric
medium, it is very important that water does not ionize. Therefore to prevent the ionization of water
an ion exchange resin is used in the dielectric distribution system to maintain the conductivity of the
water constant.
The geometry of the profile and the motion of the wire electrode tool along the profile is fed to
through keyboard, in terms of various definitions of points, lines and circles as the tool path
element, in a totally menu driven, conversational mode. The wire compensation (for wire diameter
and machining over-cut) and taper angle can be specified for the total path or for each element
separately. After the profile is fed to ELCAM, all the numerical information about the path is
calculated automatically. The entered profile definition, the profile is recorded by the computer on
USB, which is then removed and put in the controller for execution of the program.

Foundation Details (Ref. Figure 9)


The machine should be kept on a rigid foundation. Foundations confirming to the standard machine
tool requirements should prove adequate. A flat hard concrete floor at least 200 mm thick is
recommended in the area where machine is to be installed. Do not use separate concrete blocks as

Electronica india limited eNova OS, 1S &2S Machine & P.F. Unit Operating Manual Page 3
foundation under the leveling pads of the machine. If the place of installation does not have
industrial flooring and if there are many machines inducing vibrations, isolated foundation flooring is
recommended.

2.4 Installation of Machine Tool

1. Installation work of machine tool is an important factor which affects accuracy of the job done,
machine tool life and maintenance. So it should be done carefully and systematically.
2. Remove the transport locks (Ref. Figure 3 and Figure 5). The machine tool is to be placed on four
leveling pads. Install these leveling pads in their places before the machine is placed.
3. The level of the floor should be sufficiently horizontal as the range of adjustment of pads is
limited. Level the machine in both x & y directions with the help of precision level (sensitivity =
0.02 mm /1 m). Keep the level on Work table. See to it that the table is be at the center while
checking the level. The reading should be within half division.
4. After leveling the machine see to it that lock-nuts are tightened so that the level is not disturbed.
5. The machine tool, the power supply unit & the Pump filter unit should be located as per the floor
plan given. Leave a distance of 500 mm between unit & wall. This will prove useful at the time of
maintenance.
6. Make all the connections of the power supply unit with the machine tool. See whether all cables
are intact.
7. Fill distilled water in P.F. unit, put filters and resin and check the connections of all the 3 phase
motor & see that all interconnecting pipes are tightened properly.
8. Check the supply from the stabilizer. Check voltage between neutral & earth, it should be less
than 1 volt. Check direction of motor rotation & valve fitting.
9. Make wire verticality with the help of verticality block, before making wire vertical dial the block
within 2 microns w. r. t. Z axis.
10. Load some job and start sparking.

2.5 Leveling Procedure

Please note that the leveling should be done by keeping the spirit level on the ground surface
provided on the base and not by keeping the spirit level on the job stand, it may create
inaccuracy in the squareness of the X and Y axis.

1. When the m/c tool is being placed on the floor ensure that the gap between the floor and m/c
base is 130 to 135 mm, it must not be less than 130 mm. Gap can be adjusted by adjusting the
leveling bolts on the m/c tool base. The gap of 130 to 135 mm is to be maintained to avoid the
obstruction of drain pipe with the PF unit and proper alignment of wire collection box.

Electronica india limited eNova OS, 1S &2S Machine & P.F. Unit Operating Manual Page 4
2. After the m/c tool is placed on the floor as per the floor plan in the E & C readiness check list,
clean all the ground surfaces provided on Work table.
3. There are 4 leveling bolts on m/c base.
4. Keep all the axes at the middle position of total stroke. Take the spirit level of accuracy
0.020/meter
5. Keep the spirit level on work table in X direction and adjust the level with the help leveling bolt.
6. Keep the spirit level on work table in Y direction and adjust the level with the help leveling bolt.
7. Repeat above procedure until machine level is adjusted within 1 division.

2.6 Safety Precautions

Machine tool moving axes are clamped to prevent its vibration during transport. Remove these
clamps before machine tool operation. This is most important.

1. Do not leave open the doors of the power supply unit, CNC controller and the machine tool
control panel during operation.
2. The power supply should be turned OFF if these doors are to be kept open.
3. Do not operate the EDM unit when the floor is wet.

b) Wound the wire over the rollers as shown and then thread the wire through the wire guides,
over the carbide current pick up and through the pallet of the flushing assemblies.
c) The wire should pass through the groove centers of the wire guides. Confirm that the wire is
positioned at the center of the dielectric fluid flushing port in order to the wire surrounding
completely by the water column.
d) The wire must remain in contact with the nylon roller at all times so that it is insulated from
the machine tool.
e) Does not touch the wire or any part of the wire feed mechanism, during machining since all
are electrically live.

3. Wire tension and wire feed rate

Electronica india limited eNova OS, 1S &2S Machine & P.F. Unit Operating Manual Page 11
The wire tension is to be adjusted according to the work-piece thickness and size of wire used.
Proper tension is set by adjusting the knob of wire tension. The wire feed is to be adjusted on the
basis of thickness of the job and energy settings.
4. Automatic Wire Threading:
The machine has optional automatic wire threading attachment (AWT).
For threading of wire with AWT the wire should be of hard type. Insertion of wire up to AWT is
manual. Hence while changing the wire spool first insertion of wire is manual. Refer to chapter no.
6 for more details on wire drive with Automatic wire threading system.

5.6 Flushing at Low & High Flushing

The interfacing of machine tool with pump filter unit is done by connecting the two hoses coming
from flow meters to the distributor block .The drain channel that is fixed to the machine tool base
emerges into the tank. By adjusting the knob of the flow meters, pressure of water coming out of the
flushing assemblies can be adjusted. For high-speed cutting, flushing at high pressure is selected.
The pressure / flow selection is also programmable.
To carry on the cutting at lower speed or while taking the second cut on the job usually low flushing
pressure is selected.

5.7 Dielectric fluid flushing parameters

Confirm that conductivity of the dielectric fluid is within the specified the specified range. Press the
flush switch on the control box. Adjust dielectric fluid flow valve by watching the flushing pressure
fluid flowing from the upper & lower flushing pressure should be approximately 12 kg / cm2.
The function of the deionizer is to reduce the conductivity of dielectric fluid through the ion exchange
reaction of resin.

5.8 Conductivity Correction

2) Auxiliary pump: -
Sucks water from clean water tank and it delivers it to the deionizer.

3) Deionizer: -
This maintains conductivity of water. If conductivity increases beyond predetermined limit then

water circulates through Deionizer until conductivity reaches within specified limit.

4) Chiller: -
This refrigeration type chiller maintains the temperature of water.

5) Pressure Pump: -
It sucks clean water and delivers it to the upper and lower flushing nozzles for machining.

6) Pressure Gauge: -
It indicates system water pressure.

10Instructions for Operation & Maintenance
10.1 Filtration Cycle:
(Refer Figure 30)
Dirty Water along with metal cutting dust is pumped by filter pump to paper filter box. From
that filter box, filtered clean water enters into clean tank. By pressure pump clean water
supply again to machine tool.
In clean tank, there is one more pump is provided which known as Auxiliary Pump. It supplies to
clean water to De-ion bowl and Chiller Unit.
This operation continues as the wire EDM machine starts & continues till the filter pressure rises by
2 Kg/cm2 (Choking Pressure).

10.2 Filter Start-Up Water Volume: -


A. Fill clean water in dirty water tank & start the dirty water pump till clear water tank is overflowing
in to dirty water tank. Continue filling till the dirty water tank is at least half full.
B. Fill sludge water tank till the level of overflow pipe.

10.3 Conductivity Controls & Deionizer Pump: -


The control panel is fitted with conductivity controller for the clean water & its probe is situated in
clean water tank. As the conductivity increases beyond preset valve (e.g. 10) it will automatically
switch on deionizer solenoid.
The deionizer solenoid will supply the water through blow molded resin bowl consisting of mixed
bed resin. The deionizer solenoid will stop automatically once the conductivity is brought under
control.

10.4 Chiller Functioning For Clean Water Temperature Control: -


The temperature of the clean water is to be maintained around 200C. If this temperature rises, chiller
pump installed inside the chiller starts automatically and chilled water goes back to the clean water
tank. Once the temperature is under control chiller pump and chiller stops automatically.

10.5 Do’s and Don’ts: -


DO’S DON'TS
Use crane or forklift for moving of PF unit from
one place to another.
Check for the direction of rotation the pumps. Do not try to change the phases of the wiring.

11Maintenance of P.F. Unit
11.1 Table indicating periodic maintenance: -

a. Cleaning of tank For cleaning of tank there is no need to remove the tank from the
frame every time. Drain the water from the tank by opening the
drain caps the remaining water with sponge.
b. Changing deionizer resin Resin is changed only when the indicator shows the conductivity
of the water more than set value and it remains same or increases
further even when deionizer solenoid remains ON for longer time.
To change the resin remove the pipe connection remove the top
threw cap of the resin bowl wash it put new resin of recommended
quantity put the flange and pipe connections again.
c. Cleaning of conductivity Clean the electrodes of conductivity cell with clean clothe such that
cell
there will not be any deposition of water contents.

11.2 Maintenance Tips

A) Dielectric Unit: -
)The tank should be cleaned once in a month
)Tank should be topped up with distilled water at least once a week to ensure longer deionizer life

B) Deionizer: -
)Stop the system and disconnect the pipes connecting the dielectric fluid supply unit and the
cartridge type deionizer. The deionizer from the dielectric fluid supply unit

C) Drain the Dielectric Fluid: -


)Remove the ion exchange resin and wash the cylinder with flowing water .Assemble the parts
again and fill the cylinder with new resin .Check that particles of resin are not lodged between the
covers and base and other sealed locations so as to cause the dielectric fluid to leak
)Connect the pipes to the inlet and outer ports of deionizer.
