More Information
Summary:An electroerosion machining system 10 for trepanning and drilling operations is disclosed. The electroerosion machining system includes an electrode assembly 24 configured to machine a desired configuration in a workpiece 12, a power supply 20 configured to energize the electrode assembly and the workpiece to opposite electrical polarities, an electrolyte supply 22 configured to pass an electrolyte between the electrode assembly and the workpiece, a working apparatus 14 configured to move the electrode assembly relative to the workpiece, and a control system to control the power supply and the working apparatus. The electrode assembly 24 further includes an electrode body 28 in the form of a tube-shaped body, the tube-shaped body defining a hollow interior 30 and one or more replaceable inserts 34 affixed to the electrode body at a working end thereof positioned adjacent the workpiece, the one or more replaceable inserts constructed so as to be selectively attachable and detachable from the working end of the electrode body.
