Abstract
In a reference (n-th) machining pass, the wire travels along a machining route RTn and passes through a reentrant angular corner with wire position WMn, producing a workpiece edge Hn. In the following (n+1)-th machining pass, the wire travels along a machining route RTn+1, but the straight sections preceding and following the corner are replaced with a circular arc route so that the wire passes smoothly through a straight route, then a circular arc route, and then a straight route. The radius of curvature of the circular arc route is determined in the controller on the basis of the difference between the offset specified for the reference (n-th) machining pass and the offset specified for the (n+1)-th pass in which the circular arc route is inserted. Accordingly, the machining margin does not increase in the reentrant angular corner and the machining accuracy is thereby improved.
