Title: Innovations by Georges Wyss in Electrical Discharge Machining
Introduction
Georges Wyss is a notable inventor based in Niederrohrdorf, Switzerland. He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical discharge machining, holding a total of 4 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the precision and efficiency of machining processes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an "Electrical discharge machining method with simultaneous relative advance." This invention involves the electrical discharge machining of a workpiece electrode to a shape that corresponds to that of a tool electrode. During the finishing phase of machining, the electrodes are relatively displaced along an axis of penetration while simultaneously moving in a plane perpendicular to that axis. This process utilizes a cyclic translational movement whose amplitude increases with the penetration of the tool into the workpiece. This innovation allows for a virtual 3-dimensional dilatation of the tool as it advances, enabling better control of the sparking in both the frontal and lateral parts of the machining zone. Consequently, the shape of the machined portion accurately reflects the tool shape.
Another significant patent by Wyss is the "Electrical discharge machining apparatus with simultaneous relative." This invention shares similar principles with the previous one, focusing on the relative displacement of electrodes during the machining process. The cyclic translational movements are achieved through an eccentric member, whose eccentricity is controlled by limiting the axial movement of the shaft at a predetermined penetration position. This advancement further enhances the precision of electrical discharge machining.
