Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify the random error caused by micro EDM discharge machine by variying the machining parameters. The work piece medium is SS 316 having (3mm X 50mm X 50mm) standard diamension. The machining of 7 holes continuously by changing spark timing, current intensity and voltage across the electrode and work piece. Then the work piece is cleaned well to remove the extra burr in it. After taking reading the work piece is compared with master piece or actual given value in EDM machining program. The error from the actual and deviated value is calculated by using the error calculating formula. The positioning errors and hole profile deviation is happen in the work piece. The error machine is informed to the maintenance team to carried out the preventive maintenance. The random error is caused by the stepper motor friction in the Micro-Electrical Discharge Machine.
