Analysis of the Sparking Issue of Power Feeders in WEDM Equipment


Power feeders are critical components in Wire Cut EDM equipment, but sometimes they can spark. What are some of the reasons and how do we address the problem?
When processing aluminum materials, the power feeders and molybdenum wire are prone to sparking.
Damaged bearings of guide wheels cause the molybdenum wire to vibrate severely, leading to sparking.
Power feeders that have not been replaced for a long time result in poor contact between the wire and the power feeders.
Low-quality molybdenum wire is prone to issues like wire breakage, burning, or wear, affecting machining efficiency and quality.
