Abstract
The device has a case (1) which has a wire guide (2) and a chamber (4) filled with machining liquid which is brought there under pressure by a pipe (7). A nozzle (5) in the shape of a truncated cone fits in the case and closes the chamber (4) in its normal working position by supporting its periphery on the flange (6) provided around the case (1), under the action of the pressure exerted by the dielectric liquid and if necessary by a return spring (8). The thrust exerted on the nozzle by an obstacle (10) during a lateral collision tilts the nozzle without damaging it and it causes at L an escape of liquid which causes the pressure to drop in the chamber (4). A transducer (13) signals the drop in pressure following the collision to the operator and/or to a control system of the erosion machine.
