Abstract
In order to measure a size of fine parts, it is necessary to prepare a measuring instrument which is made up of more fine parts element. For that reason, we have developed the desk-top micro electric discharge machine to process fine parts. A stable processing requires well conditioned electrolyte and well controlled discharge gap. This paper mainly presents an mechanism outline of our machine. The moving stage is given a suitable performance of positioning by the application of voice-coil motor and nm linear-encoder. And the wire feeder as an electrode is given a high stability by the double capstan method. The results from test processing obtained that our machine has a performance to process a fine parts.
