ThinGap Servo Application

From ThinGap LLC
 

 
A manufacturer of high precision wire bonding tools utilized a ThinGap??servomotor for a high precision Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) application. In the EDM process, metal is removed by generating high frequency sparks through a small gap filled with a dielectric fluid. This technique allows machining complicated shapes in hard metals, including refractory alloys. A necessary condition for achieving a good surface finish is a precisely controlled gap between the electrode (tool) and the work piece. The sparking gap ranges from about 10 to 100 microns, respectively for finish and roughing and must be precisely controlled. The design requires controlled movement of a 25-pound spindle head with the ability to move the EDM tool, both very smoothly and very slowly during the cutting phase but to rapidly retract the spindle head after cutting was completed.
