Practice examples: Eroding with Cycle 17 DISK
Workpiece geometry
Cavity diameter D = 24 mm
Eroding depth T = –10 mm
Electrode data
Cylindrical electrode
Electrode radius Re = 9.9 mm
Electrode undersize U = 4.2 mm
Width of the erosion gap B= 0.1 mm
Calculation of the expansion radius
Expansion radius for Cycle 17 DISK
RAD = (0.5 • 4.2 mm) – 0.1 mm = 2 mm
Example 1, top illustration:
Pre-position over the workpiece surface, circular
expansion.
Example 2, bottom illustration:
Erode to –10 mm depth, circular expansion
without pecking.
