Abstract

Abstract A circuit arrangement for electro-erosion machining operations, comprising at least two non-storing pulse generator means for the electro-erosion machining operations. A controlled timing generator means serves to generate control pulses for all of said pulse generators. There are also provided current circuit means for the time-control of the control pulses delivered by the controlled timing generator means, one such current circuit means being arranged at the input for the control pulses of each of said pulse generator means. There also are provided electroerosion current circuits, with pulse generators being electrically arranged in said electro-erosion current circuits and being provided with electronic power switches controlled by said control pulses, said electro-erosion current circuits being coupled in such a number in parallel to the work gap as there are required working pulses of different amplitudes for producing a working spark.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 145 words
A circuit arrangement for electro-erosion machining operations across a work gap, comprising: a. at least two non-storing pulse generator means for the electro-erosion machining operations; b. a controlled timing generator means for generating control pulses for all of said pulse generator means; c. current circuit means for the time-control of the control pulses delivered by the controlled timing generator means, one such current circuit means being arranged at the input for the control pulses of each of said pulse generator means; and d. electro-erosion current circuit means, said pulse generator means being electrically coupled with said electro-erosion current circuit means, said pulse generator means being provided with electronic power switches controlled by said control pulses, said electro-erosion current circuit means being coupled in such number in parallel to the work gap as there are required working pulses of different amplitudes for producing a working spark.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 145 words
A circuit arrangement for electro-erosion machining operations across a work gap, comprising: a. at least two non-storing pulse generator means for the electro-erosion machining operations; b. a controlled timing generator means for generating control pulses for all of said pulse generator means; c. current circuit means for the time-control of the control pulses delivered by the controlled timing generator means, one such current circuit means being arranged at the input for the control pulses of each of said pulse generator means; and d. electro-erosion current circuit means, said pulse generator means being electrically coupled with said electro-erosion current circuit means, said pulse generator means being provided with electronic power switches controlled by said control pulses, said electro-erosion current circuit means being coupled in such number in parallel to the work gap as there are required working pulses of different amplitudes for producing a working spark.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
