Abstract

In general, machined holes have straight axes and their cross-sections are constant circles since holes are machined by drills. In other words, shapes of machined holes do not have so much variety. To solve the problem, the device was developed which can machine a certain shape on an inside wall of a straight hole by means of electrical discharge machining. This results in fabrication of holes whose cross-sections change variously. In the study, the holes are called cross-section changing holes. However, the device had only ability to make two-dimensional shapes. Therefore, the device has been improved so that three-dimensional shapes can be machined inside holes. From the result of the machining experiment, it is found that the improved device can machine a cross-section changing hole with a hemisphere.
