Looking for 4 Axis Wire EDM Manual

[BlueChip]

Does anyone have a PDF file with info on how to program a 4 axis wire EDM machine? ... just looking to learn so it can be any machine and any control ... maybe something like a machine operators or programmers manual.

OR ... does anyone have a link to any site where one can be downloaded?

I've been searching but no luck yet. ANY help would be greatly appreciated ... Thanks in advance.

One approach would be to download Dolphin EDM, this contains a 2 & 4 axes
programming package. Download is free and you can use the software to experiment with various methods of 4 axes programming i.e. produce two contours (top and bottom) with Wire Synchronising points or produce a single contour with Wire angle or UV axes commands.

The download will install a fully functional demo with the only limitation being that post processing is inhibited.
