I have EDM function without doubt. There is however a difference if on time is started to count at 28 volt or lower there are sparcs but if it start at around 35.0 volt there are not much sparcs. Main current source is turned on during ignition and I suspect there are current flowing before on

Put a 1uF cap across your spark gap. This will allow you to test whether you have EDM function at all. Even a 10uF cap. It will mess with your control, but you can now get a handle on your fluid, and typical gap. Regards Roland On 25 June 2016 at 10:37, Nicklas Karlsson wrote: > I investigated

Is this a non-trivial kinematics machine? I'm working on a machine that does something like this when switching between forward and inverse kinematics (or maybe the other way around). In my case it is caused by a slight error in my forward kinematics function. On Sat, Jun 25, 2016 at 12:35 PM, To

I'm a bit confused what could cause unexpected move after pressing stop or pause->stop. Here is print screen what happened: https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/1X2RCHL7.jpg Recently I implemented manualtoolchange but the only thing I was modifying were subroutines ... not sure if there could be source

Nicklas regarding 'start of period to count' there is a concept in EDM that was branded ISOpuls and more genericly iso-energetic it is a method concerning WHEN to begin the on-time count. to make each spark have same energy the duration of current flow must be equal so a circuit to detect the dr

I investigated further and it seems to matter at which voltage level start of period start to count. As is now current is on during wait for ignition and hence this period may be elongenated with a lover voltage level. Low enough and on time will not start until a sparc happen. I actually think
