iWEDM

iWEDM è per la valutazione dei parametri di lavorazione ottimali in WEDM

This mobile app is used to evaluate optimal machining parameters for Wire Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM).

The Wire Electrical Discharge Machining is a highly complex machining process that is characterized by non-linear behavior. The WEDM process is used in various manufacturing industries to obtain machining complex shapes of hard materials with high accuracy and fine surface finish. The application software is developed to automate the capabilities for WEDM to understand the interaction mechanism of various input parameters to get the requisite output measures or parameters like machining current, cutting speed, spark gap, MMR and surface finish, etc. Currently, to get the desired output measures WEDM depends mainly on the operator’s experience and trial and error methods.

To overcome this, this app is developed for predicting output measures or parameters based on the input parameters in WEDM. In this app, the input parameter such as the type of material and thickness is given to obtain the desired parameters like discharge current, cutting speed, spark gap, material removal rate, power and surface roughness. This app was tested and validated with the experimental data in which the desired accuracy is observed. The app is very user-friendly that would save time, process planning, and also cost. The machining parameters can be set on the machine without any trial and error method for the required yield, which in turn increases the accuracy, reduces the machining time and cost.
