Home Built Edm Machine

[mjosburn]

Hi,

Can I get those plans to.

mjosburn@msn.com

Thanks,

Mike

Can't wait to try this one out.

[miljnor]

Has anyone finished one of these yet?

And if so Hows it working?

Pictures?

Hi Miljnor, it's something I've wanted to have a go at for a few years but everything else got first priority.

The principle is simple, just peck away at a piece of conductive material with enough amperage and eventually you'll burn a hole through it.

I heard of someone who used an arc welder to get serious, so there's room for experiment as long as you understand the principle.

Ive used industrial machines before wasn't really asking about how they worked I am more interested in the finished DIY project to see how hard it would be to do one of my own and to see how effective they are.

[handlewanker]

If you want to make one yourself, you'll have to know a bit about basic electronics, this way you can tailor the device to your needs, but more importantly once it's made you can find out why if it doesn't work.

I know your trying to help, but I know enough about electronics to make one, and most likely make it work, but there is a lot less work to be done if someone else has done it before and worked out some of the bugs.

I don't need advice on how to make one (yet) just want to see a homemade/DIY one working before i even attempt it.

Mike,

Ben Fleming has written a book that has a circuit and directions for building a small EDM machine. There is also a yahoo group for people that have built or are interested in building a machine based on his book. There is also a circuit board available through the group.

Also Dan Mauch (Camtronics) sells plans for a small wire edm cnc machine.

I'm not quite sure how this forum works.

Hi everyone! This is my first post so don't be too hard on me :0)

I can see lots of people asking stuff but not many replies??

If there are any plans for a tap disintegrator electronic or mechanical I would love them. I am running an old Charmilles F45 wire eroder. I have removed all of the CNC electronics and replaced them with a 6 axis system from Conqueror Designs here in the UK. The system is now PC driven with full 3D Graphics. All of the hardware is external to the PC with no dodgy software drivers etc., just a standard serial port. I'm simply using the old spark generator which seems to work OK albeit a bit temperamental. I can work to within about .005mm without too much difficulty. (Not too bad for for a country bumkin working in his backgarden, even if I do say so myself)

Like I said I'm not altogether sure how this forum all works, but I have mpg and jpg's of the system working, and I'd be happy to share any information I have on the subject.

Any tap disintegrator info would be great. I have some students who need an electro/mechanical project. I could probably start from scratch with them but why re-invent the wheel? If you guys don't mind helping out

[handlewanker]

Hi Botty, welcome to the board.

There are some home builder plans that were published in the Model Engineer some years back for a small EDM.

Post your email address and I'll send them to you direct.
Ian.

[balwinder]

looking for plans if possible send it to me also thanks my add is mintukalsi28@yahoo.com

[balwinder]

looking for spark genrator sercuit mine is not working acc to my need

[kayaba]

hi ppl,can you give me a schematic of diy EDM home made?Plis i want to build one,
share to my mail,kybkyb7@gmail.com

[Botbuilder]

Hi Balwinder/Kayaba

I'll forward the plans Handlewanker sent me, it's not the best design in the World but it should work. I have some students building one from the plans, we are updating the electronics. I'll post the final details of the changes to the circuits and mechanics, as and when we finish it.

[jsologuren]

Hello!!
Anybody have circuits and plans to make EDM machine with 555 to control the pulse.

Hi jsologuren, send me your email adress and I'll email you some I have direct.

My E mail is sologurenjulio@yahoo.com.

Thanks a lot

[miljnor]

alot of people asking for plans, but has anyone built one yet?


if so WHERE ARE THE PICTURES?

[miljnor]

Dear Michael,
I have a lot of development in Vision Machines, Laser Marking, Equipments with Microprocessor and DSP.
My WebSite is www.cymsystems.com, I have few machines with cnc that I make studing cnc_zone articles.

Please dont spam advertising BS on a public forum!

There are rules against it, and besides i don't see anything on the sight that is relevant to Homebuilt EDM.

Most people here don't want to hear about commercial machines, we want to hear and see Home built stuff. And I am not the exception.

[Blaugen]

hello friends:
I write to request them circuits (plans) to build a pulse control EDM. I allready made one, but is a metal desintegrator tap remover, with a series of Resistors and capacitors, but I want to build one better than this, with a modulator or a pulse control.
thanks and excuse me my grammatical erros, I´m not american.

May I have the plans, too?

Thank you very much.
