Operation of Digital Conductivity Meter
1. Normally, 5 seconds after machine power turned on, PV will be lit on, which
indicates the digital conductivity meter is displaying correct value and in stand-by
status.
2. Next, press SV button, the screen will display previous target value, which can be
readjusted by UP and DOWN button.
3. When new setup is done, press SV button to save it into memory; if not save the
value, the value may as same as previous value and then return to PV mode after a
few seconds.
4. Once the new target value is set higher than current one, deionization process
(Working lit on) will start until new target value reached; however, if new target
value is smaller than current one, water conductivity will remain the same until
ion-resin completely consumed or diluted by new tap water.
4. When water level is too low, WATER LOW alarm will be lit on and blocks
deionization process temporarily until alarm dissolved.
5. The latest status of Digital meter before system shut down will be memorized.
Note (1). Cleaning of probe. It is recommend clean the probe once every month to
maintain the accuracy of measurement.

0= VerticalAux plane remains vertical to PGM plane, which means

there is no UV axis movement.
1=TaperAux plane is oblique to PGM plane at a specific degree of

angle. In this case, XYUV axis would be moving simultaneously
in identical path to cut cone shape.
2=UVXYUV axis would be moving simultaneously but in

different path to cut two shapes on the top and at the bottom of a
workpiece.
3=PlaneSame as 2=UV used for cutting two shapes on top and at

bottom but in different way of program composition. The
program of 2=UV, in which the shape on top is consisted of
innumerable points and lines while 3=Plane can use G, M code
to compose it to much simplified the program and enhance the
accuracy.

10. Taper angleWhen performing a taper cutting and if taper angle is not defined
in the NC program, the value of the taper angle can be set by this value also.
11. NC PGM Plane (Z)Generally, Z (PGM Plane) is the distance off work-table
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
turned up-side down.

Note 1: How to make Taper Cutting?
Answer: There are two variables, Z and I, are related to the setup of Taper Cutting;
the figure below shows how they are correlated to
Z (PROGRAM PLANE) is the base line of taper, and I (THICKNESS) is the

height of taper, which could be set as + or and will create different taper
shape. See figure below

under:
a. Type 0Power of spark energy control. (increase or decrease)
ex: Suppose the S.CODE ON =5, OFF=9, AN=3, AFF=9
if set thePWR.R =0.5then means the power would be
reduced 50%, for instead, the S.CODE would has changed to
ON =2, OFF=18, AN=1; AFF=18.
b. Type 2Max. Feed-rate override control. (increase or decrease)
ex: Suppose the S.CODE ON =5, OFF=9, AN=3, AFF=9 ;
now current speed is 100mm2/min and if set theMAX.FEED
=75then means the federate speed would be
reduced 25%, for instead, the all S.CODE would has changed
and driven by controller. (Majority to change OFFAFF

Ethernet SetupETHRRNET SET

The construction of Ethernet Network is through a physical switching HUB there
are the cables connected between server (Users PC) and client (CHMER controller);
CHMER provide the Ethernet connector be ready on our controller (GIPC .NET
board) and attach full authorized software supported. Refer the figure as follow:
NoteRepeatedly to check the work lamp LED status whether lit on mother board
(controller) & switching HUB. Its quite important ! Otherwise, the setup
of local LAN becomes meaningless, before the software operation must
confirm this point in advance.
There, step by step we would utter the setup procedures into three parts
separately:
1. Setup of PC or Laptopserver; user computer 2.Configure the content of
the batch file AUTOEXEC.BAT & boots memory load file CONFIG.SYS 3.

3-2-1 G00 Quick positioning
SyntaxG00X____Y_____(or U____V____);
The tool is moved by pre-set speed to pointed target. The function is useful
under incremental coordinate or absolute coordinate to control 1~4 axes. If the
cutting mode is OFFSET, U,V command is effective.
3-2-2 G01 Linear Cutting
Syntax G01X____Y____F_____;
This command is for linear path cutting. If it is under fixed speed cutting mode,
the tool can execute cutting function by F code speed to pointed location. The
function is useful to control 1~4 axes cutting at the same time and combined
with M function and S function.
3-2-3 G02, G03 Arc cutting
SyntaxG02X___Y___I___J___F___;
G03X___Y___I___J___F___;
This command is for arc path cutting. G02 is clockwise and G03 is
counterclockwise. The starting point is the present location and the end point is
the location that commanded by G02 or G03. The radius of the arc is the vector
from starting point to the end point.

Note. 1. Compensation H setup located in AUTOF6 (MEM. H. Var.), and

open to use from H001 to H999. D can be used for compensation, too; it
is located in AUTOF7 (MEM. D. Oft) and open to use from D01 to
D14.
2. H or D value stands for single side compensation
3. If H or D not specified in program, Controller will automatically read
default D or H value as compensation.
4.Generally, compensation value equals wire radius+ 1/2 spark width but it
might have to be slightly tuned up with different work conditions such as :
eroding power, dielectric temperature, work-piece material. It is
recommended to reference Cutting Data Manual and make necessary
adjustment.
About the Offset and wire diameter compensation.
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
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:

3. The relationship of G41G42 & G40.

System will manage the NC path to shift the wire by G41 & G42 during
processing until the G40 (offset cancellation) command be executed.

It may neglect G40 and to switch G41 to G42 command during the process.

mixed to use G02 & G01 in same block, otherwise it cause a error in controller.

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.

Note :
1. D offset to set in MEM>F7: D Offset.
2. H offset to set in MEM>F6: H Offset
3. T Offset also a kind of compensation code
4. The priority if D01or H01 would be decided by flag parameter setting.

4-2-1 Magnetic interference and its prevention method
The dissemination route of magnetic interference can be divided into 4 kinds

(shown in the following figure).
1. Sky emitting: To emit directly to other machines.
2. Interfered magnetic wave radiated in the sky. To emit to wires or
signal wires around the machine, and then enter into the machine.
3. From power wire of the machine to entering into power wire of the
other machines.
4. To be emitted by power wire of the machine to the sky, then radiate
magnetic waves to the other machine.
T.V.
4-6
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:
ITEMS DESCRIPTION
To change the A,B,C,D in the following figure is the place where the antenna is
located. A,C points are the places that may be easy to occur
place of antenna
interference. Making the distance of the wire cutting machine and
or wire cutting antenna be possible to separate, and setting antenna should be as
machine. shown as the place of B, D.

4-3 Precaution for Malfunction
4-3-1 Water leakage of high pressure pump
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.
Lastly, above mentioned malfunction is not considered as warranty, and
there will be expenses requested by agent or manufacturer for the repair.
4-3-2 Used cutting wire scattered on the ground

Short circuit would happen once the used wire comes out of the bin and
interrupt machining or even damage the electrical components in Power
Cabinet. In addition, the noise caused by short circuit could interfere
motor/driver to make incorrect cutting path and ruin the job. To avoid
machine down and loss, please check and clean the used wire bin regularly.
4-9
4-3-3 Poor mechanical accuracy caused by improper room

temperature
The assembly and calibration of CHMER Wire Cut EDM is processed under
231 room temperature. To obtain best mechanical accuracy, please
adjust room and dielectric temperature to 231. Moist air or steam
could be generated and rust transmission components such as linear guide,
ball-screw, servo motor. In addition, temperature rise would cause metal
expansion (+11m in length per 1 rise.)

4-5 Lower Head Disassembled and Assembled

This manual is to teach the person the proper way to disassemble and assemble
the heads for cleaning or maintenance. Make sure when performing these steps
to have power turned off at the control and both switches in the off position to
prevent shocks from happening.
1. Start by removing the top half of the lower head.
1. 2.
2. Its 4 screws hold the plate down (Picture 1). Lift the nozzle off and use
the guide remover to remove the guide (Picture 2).
3.
3. Remove the spark cables from the head. It should be 4 screws with 2
cables each screw (Picture 3).
4-15
4. Next, disconnect the hose from the side of the head. Make sure to put a zip
tie on the hose to not loose the nut inside the tank (Picture 4).
4.
5. Remove the 2 screws from the back of the silver part of the head and lift up
on the head to remove (Picture 5).
5. 6.
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.
4-16
Make sure you recheck your lower head heighthere is how:
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).
9. 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.

4-6 Upper Head Disassembled and Assembled

This manual is to teach the person the proper way to disassemble and assemble
the heads for cleaning or maintenance. Make sure when performing these steps
to have power turned off at the control and both switches in the off position to
prevent shocks from happening.
1. Start by removing the front plate and carbide contact. The plate is mounted on by 2
screws on the front (Picture 1). The carbide has a setscrew on the right side located in
a hole to the left of the power line shaft (Picture 2).
1. 2.
2. Remove the parts off the bottom of the head. These include the flush nozzle, guide,
holder for flush nozzle and spring. The nozzle comes off with the holder, which
unscrews. The guide comes off with the guide remover (Picture 3).
3.
4-18
3. Remove the shaft above the upper head. Either

loosing the setscrew or removing the 2 screws
4. from the holder does this. Be sure to align the tube,
put the screws in loose and put it on the upper head
ceramic piece, before tightening the screws
(Picture 4).
4.
5. Remove the cover over the
gears. Removing the 4 Philips
screws on the front of it does
this (Picture 5).
5.
6. Remove the brass upper half. To do this, loosen 3 Allen screws on the top going down
into the other half. They are hard to find, 2 are in front, and the other 1 is directly
behind the left one. The other connections are for the heater. After removing all of
those, the brass half
should be able
to slide out
(Picture 6).
After removing
6.
the 4 screws holding
them together, the top
half comes off, but
cables will still be connected. You
need to disconnect the 2 screws
holding the black motor on 7.
(Picture 7) and the setscrew on the
gear to allow you to move the head
more. The pre-guide is
something that really needs
to be watched (Picture 8). 8.
It is located between the 2 halves.
7. After cleaning, reverse the steps for reassembly.
