ElectrodeWorks automates all aspects of extraction, design, management, documentation and manufacturing of EDM electrodes. Fully integrated into the SolidWorks environment, ElectrodeWorks guides you through the electrode design and production process. You design the electrode through a comprehensive yet easy to use interface; the electrode manufacturing and EDM positioning drawings, and the machining files are created automatically.
Features:
- Automatic placing and sizing of electrodes from selected burn faces according to customizable factory setup parameters.
- Add Clearance enables you to create tangent, normal and draft offsets at the electrode/part interface through integrated solid trim functionality, powered by our ease of use dialogue system.
- Drawings are instantaneous and complete including sheets for electrode manufacturing and EDM burn processing.
- Technology is defined through a dedicated dialogue which defines material and allows you to scroll through the built in surface finish standards according to E, Rmax and Ra.
- Process setup of the rough to finish spark gaps and the pattern method and definition are defined through the same dialogue, as well as safety z-level penetration for each of the different spark gaps.
