Journal ArticleDOI
Assisting Electrode Method for Machining Insulating Ceramics
TL;DR: In this article, a metal plate or metal mesh is arranged on the surface of a ceramic insulator as an assisting electrode to keep electrical conductivity on the work piece during the machining.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Precise positioning mechanism utilizing rapid deformations of piezoelectric elements
TL;DR: In this article, a one-dimensional linear positioner using a micro mechanism consisting of one main object put on a guiding surface, a piezo, and a weight is connected to one end of the main object via the piezo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Displacement control of piezoelectric element by feedback of induced charge
TL;DR: In this paper, a displacement control method of a piezoelectric actuator (piezo) is presented. But the method is not suitable for high driving frequency as the piezo is driven with a voltage source which has low output impedance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of electrical conditions on performance of electrical discharge machining with powder suspended in working oil for titanium carbide deposition process
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the discharge current and the pulse duration on the titanium carbide (TiC) deposition process by electrical discharge machining (EDM) with titanium powder suspended in working oil was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Process of Additive and Removal Machining by EDM with a Thin Electrode
TL;DR: In this article, a needle of 35μm in diameter and 300μm length can be made under a single discharge pulse instantaneously from a tungsten wire of 125μm diameter.
