in a N.C. program; usually set Z=0 if there is no spacer put beneath a
work-piece.
12. Object Thick (I)I (Aux Plane) is referred to the height position of the
work-piece; its value could be + or and it is used to exchange the position of
PGM and Aux plane. For example, in above Cut Mode=3, it is set Z=0 and
I=30, so UV path appears on top. If we set Z=30, I=-30, then the path will be

accordingly. (ONOFFANAFF)
Ex: If ON =6, OFF= 9, AN=4, AFF=9 ; if set theEnter PWR.R =0.8
then means the power would be reduced 20%, for instead, the
S.CODE would has changed to
ON =4, OFF=11, AN=3; AFF=11.
4. Exit Pwr R.Similar to point#3 mentioned, the different is to the exiting

1. Offset Setting
For wire cut processing, there needs the wire Diameter compensation to make
the wire be shifted to left or right side by a regular value to get the correct
NC path in the final result.
To set the value in controller by MEM > F6 H Offset or F7: D Offset.
And G41/G42 command are used to do which the purpose as above mentioned.
2. Begin to set Offset in NC program
3-22
CHMER Wire-Cut EDM Operation Manual W5F
Please note G41 & G42 command must apply with G00G01 command at
beginning of lines of NC PGM; G02 & G03 must not put ahead of the lines,
otherwise the error message will be generated. We utter the detail as follows:

7. Interference of NC path
There might be generated an over-cut during the NC program and error will
happen. The reason may cause as follows
1. Program NC path against the offset direction.
2. The Arc radius is smaller than the wire radius.

4-2-2 Prevention method from magnetic interference
Wire cutting machine is to make use of the electric spark produced by electrode
wire and work piece to process, therefore the plugs of welding machine or
engine can also produce magnetic waves. This magnetic wave is called as
interfered magnetic wave, and that a bad condition produced by this magnetic
wave is referred as magnetic interference. The prevention method is as follows:

One of the common reasons is that Paper Filter gets dirty and clogged, so
there is no sufficient clean water flowing down to the tank, or the high
pressure pump gets obstructed by objects dropped into water tank. Eventually,
the high pressure pump keeps running with no load and sealing components
gets burnt and lose its function.
To prevent
1. Replace Paper Filter once the pressure exceeds 2.0 Kg/cm2
2. Check regularly clean water level and refill when the level is low.
3. Be sure not to drop objects into water tank.

6. 4 more screws from the underside will disconnect the brass piece from the
stainless piece. Then loosen the setscrew from the front to remove the
carbide contact. Remove the pre-guide with an Allen wrench. It is located
on the lower side of the stainless piece (Picture 6).
7. 8.
7. Remove the lower roller. Removing the 3 Allen screws from the right side
does this. The wheel should slide out from there (Picture 7 & 8).
8. From here, you can clean the parts removed from the head outside of the
tank. Stuff left on the arm can be cleaned inside, but make sure to use a
bucket or something under the head and arm to prevent cleaners from
getting into the water unit.
9. Reverse the process after making sure everything is dry and free of cleaner
residue.

1. After assembling the head, have the 2 screws holding the upper part of the
assembly to the head loose. What you will use to adjust the height is a
setscrew shown (Picture 9). What this does is lift or lowers the head
according to you (Picture 10).

2. Have a truly straight piece of steel in the tank that can reach over the head.
3. While holding the lower flush nozzle up, tighten the setscrew to lift the
nozzle within 0.002 to 0.005 of you work piece. Allow for more room if
you piece is not truly flat. Once head is at desired height, tighten the 2
screws and you are complete.
