Pretty cool vid but a couple things 1 the time to set the machine each time 2 waste wire having to thread wire in to center then cut the wire and thread it again to do the cut Is it possible to use a small rod of sorts like a 5mm tig electrode and put it in for centering and initial setup as long as the ends were fine enough points and centered and just adjust the program to take into consideration of the larger diameter of the rod that way you can do 3 things at once 1 reduce scrap and waste wire 2 reduce setup times 3 confirm the arms are lined up as the rod won’t bend and if top or bottom of the rod are not touching the Material when centering you know a arm is out of alignment I’m assuming the idea of threading the wire through the center is to run a charge through the wire and price and when they connect and complete the circuit it knows that’s an edge and makes it’s center point based on where forward back left and right meet material edges so a larger rod shouldn’t affect it as long as the rod is center The idea comes from things like large micrometers where in order to make sure they are calibrated correctly you have to have a precise spacer to make sure the measurements are correct

Though they might have been popular longer than in general use because they didn't need to be multi-color.
Great video, thats how i used to run our old sodick a600w, the wire threader and cutter was busted, lot of hard work and labour. what type of machine is this?
Very nicely done, I've never seen it done that way but it's a nifty fix. I would have wired it complete out of a block so you could go all the way around but if you only had a piece of round bar stock to work with this does it very well.

@@joanzzer It's a small, thin, round magnet, very powerful for its size. Only around 15mm in diameter and can hold something pretty heavy. You can buy them I've noticed but I can't give you specifics. If you have an old hard drive you could take that apart and use the ones in there, they aren't round but they are thin. Sometimes I used to wait until the job was partially cut, stop the machine, then apply the magnet where the wire wasn't going to cut.
@@joanzzer Yes, very small and thin, but also powerful. Around 15mm in diameter and maybe 10 thick. It came with the machine to be honest, I haven't bought one myself. You put it on the part as the wire has partially completed its path, where it won't collide with the wire as it finishes. You might be able to buy one, or take a hard drive apart and use the one in there. They are larger but thin, might do the trick.
Can I ask: Is the gear now ready to use or does it need final polishing to match other gear wheels? Also, is the metal hard or does it still require hardening?
The gear wheel is used as it comes from the EDM machine and also there is no hardening done. It´s only a change gear (? maybe wrong translation) for a hobby lathe and is only used if some strange pitches are needed.

Dies are made with that other type too I used to run- often called ram or diesinker EDM. That's the kind that does 3D shaped electrodes for cavities but I always thought wire was cooler
The largest wire guide I can get over here is for 0,3 mm wire, the smallest for 0,2 mm wire. I have guides for 0,2 and 0,25 mm wire but I only use 0,25 mm wire.
The sparks come from a generator whichs sends power pulses to the wire. The sparks ´jump´ between the wire and the workpiece where both are nearest so that on this spot some material is removed. (Not the best explanation.)
The sparks are the removal of the material. Billions of sparks going on very, very, very minute amount of metal is being removed. This is why it takes so long. But it's accurate to the micron.
Silly question maybe, but how do you measure the amount of spark used for the different size of meterial being burned. Is this all controlled from the cnc? I'm new to this obviously lol
Grossartig. Wenn ich das sehe, fang ich an zu sabbern :-). Wenn ich nur wuesste, was schruppen und schlichten bei ner EDM unterscheidet. Koennte man nicht direkt mit Schlichtwerten durchfahren? (Ich kenn nix vom drahten, wie man merkt)

Ist bei meiner Maschine aber nicht so schlecht, die Verzahnung ist mit einem Schnitt gemacht. Beim schlichten wird dann die Oberfläche vom Schruppschnitt noch ´geglättet´, dabei nimmt man nur noch einige Hundertstel Material ab. Die Schlichtparameter würden im Vollschnitt noch langsamer laufen als es eh schon ist ;-)

@@TheWireEDM yes, but it only corrects the y-axis. what if the gear have been turned (in the margin of slope in the dowel pins) clock wise or ccw, then it makes no sense to re tounch. Best would be to have a tiger dowelpin.
Assuming that the locating holes are perfectly spotted, and the dowel pins are perfect, and the mounting plate is perfect. Anytime you remove a part and change is orientation you want to be 100% certain of registration. Off by .005 in registration would ruin the gear. Safer to just recenter after flipping the part.
i've made a gear on a Brother HS 100 , but i didn't cut a blank that i had to rotate .. i just made a bigger blank, and cut out the entire wheel in one go..
I´ve cut another gear from flat stock. But if your stock isn´t big enough its a way to cut the gear. By the way, would be great to the see some vidoes of the HS 100!
I am not a machinist but I don't understand the advantages of this machine and the process overall compared to regular milling that is done seemingly much much much faster than this. Wouldn't it be much faster and possibly cheaper to make such gear on normal milling machine?
Well you can machine almost sharp-edged inside corners as well as fine/tiny profiles which are difficult to machine in another way. Like small inside splines or something like that. The gear wheel has 71 teeth, 71 is a prime number and so its not that easy to divide on a manual milling machine.
Also, with the wire edm you can cut, with ultra high precision, prehardened steel or even Carbide. This way you don't have to be concerned with warpage during a hardening process.
Hey Flo, check out this guys RUclips channel called “zero backlash.” He had designed a cyclodial gear box which he is 3d printing. Good design but the 3d prints don’t look to be holding up. Would be cool to see if someone could cutting him some gears out of spring steel.
5 Minutes/tooth, so about 6 hours of cutting for the complete gear wheel plus some additional time for positioning an threading the wire. So maybe 6,5 - 7 hours?
Let me understand. You thread the wire up through the center of the gear blank and then proceed to cut the OUTSIDE TEETH. What happened to the initial setup that I assumed would be cutting the gears KEY WAY?

Hmm how flat are they? You dial them in each time or check the flatness of each rotation? Or does it not matter to print?
Pretty cool vid but a couple things
1 the time to set the machine each time
2 waste wire having to thread wire in to center then cut the wire and thread it again to do the cut
Is it possible to use a small rod of sorts like a 5mm tig electrode and put it in for centering and initial setup as long as the ends were fine enough points and centered and just adjust the program to take into consideration of the larger diameter of the rod that way you can do 3 things at once
1 reduce scrap and waste wire
2 reduce setup times
3 confirm the arms are lined up as the rod won’t bend and if top or bottom of the rod are not touching the Material when centering you know a arm is out of alignment
I’m assuming the idea of threading the wire through the center is to run a charge through the wire and price and when they connect and complete the circuit it knows that’s an edge and makes it’s center point based on where forward back left and right meet material edges so a larger rod shouldn’t affect it as long as the rod is center
The idea comes from things like large micrometers where in order to make sure they are calibrated correctly you have to have a precise spacer to make sure the measurements are correct

Anytime you remove a part and change is orientation you want to be 100% certain of registration. Off by .005 in registration would ruin the gear. Safer to just recenter after flipping the part.
i've made a gear on a Brother HS 100 , but i didn't cut a blank that i had to rotate .. i just made a bigger blank, and cut out the entire wheel in one go..
I´ve cut another gear from flat stock. But if your stock isn´t big enough its a way to cut the gear.
By the way, would be great to the see some vidoes of the HS 100!
Curious why you didn’t cut the key way while the wire was in the bore at the beginning?
The inside of the hole is used to centre the wire, so it has to be cut last.
@@shedtime_au yep!
I'm curious to know as how this wire Cuts this metal
@@the.bog. cool thanks for responding awesome vids to btw
@@the.bog. exactly correct.
Why wouldn’t you cut the gear out of a larger piece? You could set it up press start and walk away.
Well the raw material was round stock.
how much time did it take. the WHOLE machining of that gear?
5 Minutes/tooth, so about 6 hours for the complete gear wheel
I am not a machinist but I don't understand the advantages of this machine and the process overall compared to regular milling that is done seemingly much much much faster than this. Wouldn't it be much faster and possibly cheaper to make such gear on normal milling machine?
Well you can machine almost sharp-edged inside corners as well as fine/tiny profiles which are difficult to machine in another way. Like small inside splines or something like that.
The gear wheel has 71 teeth, 71 is a prime number and so its not that easy to divide on a manual milling machine.
Also, with the wire edm you can cut, with ultra high precision, prehardened steel or even Carbide. This way you don't have to be concerned with warpage during a hardening process.
What type of fluid is the wire Submerged in?
Dielectric fluid
deionized water
Fine. Thanks
Why did you have to measure the diameter of the bore before cutting the outside?
Center of the bore is the zero for the g-code
Hey Flo, check out this guys RUclips channel called “zero backlash.” He had designed a cyclodial gear box which he is 3d printing. Good design but the 3d prints don’t look to be holding up. Would be cool to see if someone could cutting him some gears out of spring steel.
How long it took to make one gear ? Can u do helical gear as well ?
About 6 hours for this gear. No helical gear possible with my machine.
What the full machining time (including wire inserting and positioning)?
5 Minutes/tooth, so about 6 hours of cutting for the complete gear wheel plus some additional time for positioning an threading the wire. So maybe 6,5 - 7 hours?
@@flo_5235 Tanks for answer. So. it's (5m/t) quiqly then may expectations but any way too long for comon practice
PipBoy3000 lvl skill!!!
Cool
Manatp bro
The CRT screen reminds me of pipboy from fallout. 😆
Hi! How much time did you spend for to finish the work completely??? and the wire it's expensive???
👍
Sinto dizer mais é muitmais preciso vc pegar material cerrar o furo e já cortar o extremo muito mais preciso e muito menos trabalho.
Abraço
Let me understand. You thread the wire up through the center of the gear blank and then proceed to cut the OUTSIDE TEETH. What happened to the initial setup that I assumed would be cutting the gears KEY WAY?
Zero for the code to cut the outside teeth is in the center of the bore.
He has to center it first before he cuts the teeth.
there was no need to probe the bore a second time. the part was located via the slipfit pins
Better safe than sorry.
How long did just the EDM process take from start to finish? For the entire job?
5 Minutes/tooth, so about 6 hours for the complete gear wheel
@@flo_5235 would gear cutter be quicker and accurate enough?
What's the main benefit from of EDM in this situation?
Cheers.
@@dnomyarnostaw You can cut tungsten carbide gears. "5 Minutes/tooth"(С)
@@SergeiPetrov that's what Flo said, but a gear cutter on a lathe can do a tooth in under a minute.
@@dnomyarnostaw with which cutter are you going to cut tungsten carbide?
How much of the thread does it take to cut such a gear wheel?
1.7km he said somewhere here
