Abstract

A thorough investigation on wirelag phenomena was carried out in this study. Here, the effect of wire deflection or wirelag on geometrical accuracy has been explored. A proper control to improve dimensional accuracy of circular job is achieved here. A novel method is presented to measure the wirelag by geometrical analysis. A mathematical model is developed to measure the gap force. Experimental investigations are performed to verify the proposed model.
