Title: Sebastian Dorthe: Innovator in Electroerosion Machining
Introduction
Sebastian Dorthe is a notable inventor based in St. Ursen, Switzerland. He has made significant contributions to the field of electroerosion machining, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to this technology.
Latest Patents
Dorthe's latest patents include a "Device for machining by electroerosion." This electrical discharge machining device features a first voltage/current source for discharge initiation, connected to both the tool electrode and the workpiece electrode, forming the poles of a machining gap. Additionally, it incorporates a second voltage/current source that can be disconnected via two switches. Capacitive elements are mounted in series in the lines connecting the first source to the poles of the machining gap. The design allows for a significant reduction in the energy of the eroding discharges, enabling a superfine surface finishing process of high quality while precisely controlling the mean voltage across the terminals of the machining gap. Another patent under his name is also a "Device for machining by electroerosion," which includes an electrode-tool and an electrode-workpiece constituting the opposite poles of a working gap. This device features a double voltage source connected to a supply network, producing erosive discharges between the two electrodes. The double voltage source comprises a first and a second voltage source connected galvanically, with at least four separate branches, allowing for selective connection to produce varying current slopes.
