Calypso • Prerequisite • General • Information • Adjustments EDM • File Conf.dat • Example • Interfaces • Supported • EDM Systems
The user needs: • The offset and the rotation of an • electrode (A) to a chuck (B). • What the user makes available: • a high-exact chuck on the • CMM (B) • a same chuck in the EDM • machine • an electrode (A) with attachment • (C) for the chuck C Y X B A C
C Y X • General • Every CMM user can generate • offset Data for EDM operation • Case A • The CMM generates offset information • (X,Y, Z and Rotation angle C), • Results are entered manually into • EDM System • - Pro: no interface necessary • - Con: time consuming and prone to operator typing error
Case B Step1 CMM generated offsets are transmitted automatically via interface to EDM controller. The Special Option EDM in UMESS UX, Calypso or ScanWarePRO main function is: Save values of 2 different Coordinate Systems to an ASCII-file with a given file name ERODIER. EDM
Case B • Step 2 ( This step occurs automatically each time of arrival of • new file to Controller of EDM System) • The Program EPOST.EXE calculates from both coordinate systems the Offset X,Y.Z and Rotation Angle C and additional into an ASCII-file of selected EDM system • - This EDM–file recognizes Controller of EDM System • The only necessary input by Operator is the Type of EDM • System and File-name. (EPOST.EXE acts automatically)
with Calypso Calypso ( available > version 4.6) Establishing of 2 Coordinate System 1. Option EDM Operator selects: - --Coordinate System Chuck of Electrode Holder - - Coordinate System Electrode - - Directory and name of output file - - Name of Electrode - - Type of EDM System - - Program Module to generate EDM information 2. 3. Calypso Sends ASCII-File Erodier.edm 4. • Epost.exe • calculates contents • of output file • stores output file Steps 4. and 5. are done automatically 5.

Example Interface Agie or Zimmer & Kreim In file Conf.dat the switch settings of 8 ( 0 or 1) determines the output information ( Sign, applying or not applying C…….see example below) File Conf.dat (AGIE-Format- stored in C:)\TEMP\AGIE\)
