The overall goal of mold electrode semi-automation:

1. Establish an automatic identification system for workpieces and tools

2. Carry out fixture control and automatic compensation of eccentricity value, and the spark machine does not need to calibrate the centering depth

3. Intelligent and standardized programming to achieve separation of CMM and EDM programming from workshops

4. Semi-automatic CNC, CMM and EDM processes

CNC unit:

1) Zero time for program preparation (automatically call up NC program; automatically modify G coordinates; automatically connect programs in series)

2) Positioning automation (multiple chucks automatically match multiple electrodes; no tool setting required in the depth direction; automatic top cutting)

CMM Unit:

1) Automatic programming outside the workshop (automatic point collection; automatic program generation)

2) Automatic measurement (automatic matching of multiple chucks and multiple electrodes; automatic series measurement; automatic evaluation and automatic uploading of results)

EDM Unit:

1) Automatic programming outside the workshop (automatically obtain the coordinates of the discharge position; automatically program according to the discharge requirements)

2) Automatic discharge (no need to align, center or adjust the depth of the electrode; automatically correct the eccentricity of the fixture measured by the CMM, and discharge can be performed using the actual number of sparks)

Electrode semi-automation content:

1. Establish an automatic identification system for workpieces and tools. Jvisoft uses one-dimensional code, two-dimensional code or RFID chip identification methods according to actual needs.

2. Carry out fixture control and automatic compensation of eccentricity value, truly realizing each process, especially the spark machine process, without the need to calibrate the depth of the center collision

3. Implement intelligent and standardized programming, and separate CMM and EDM programming from the workshop

4. Semi-automatic operation of CNC, CMM and EDM process workshops

Overall benefits of electrode semi-automation:

1. Establish a basic system for mold processing management and achieve standardization of management

2. Semi-automation greatly improves the degree of informatization and automation

3. Improve the effective operation time of equipment and reduce the overall manufacturing cost

4. Real-time tracking of the online status of workpieces to make management transparent

5. Reduce the complexity and workload of manual operations, reduce manpower input, and reduce the labor intensity of workers

6. Improve the connection gap of information flow in the entire production and manufacturing process

7. The error rate is greatly reduced and the processing quality stability is greatly improved

8. Reduce the need for professionalism in the workshop and make CNC, CMM, and EDM electrode-related operations common workers
