Abstract
A wire discharge machining method that involves decreasing gradually a discharge energy from a position (point A) a first predetermined distance (Lpre) prior to a corner portion entry (point B) on machining path of a wire electrode ( ), stopping a relative movement between the wire electrode ( ) and the workpiece ( ) at a corner portion entry (point B), releasing the stopped movement in accordance with a predetermined decision criterion, working the workpiece from the point B to a position (point D) a second distance (L) away from a position (point C) after passing the corner portion with a lower discharge energy that is reduced at a certain reduction to the discharge energy at point A, and working the workpiece by increasing gradually the discharge energy from point D to a position (point E) passing a third distance (Lpost).
