CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the objective which is to design “kunai” and create a basic NC program
for Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) wire cut had been achieved successfully during this
experiment. The G-code program is efficiently learnt and applied during the simulation session
in the workshop. Next, the second objective which is to run and machine a product by using
the Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) wire cut machine cannot be done due to technical
problem of the macine. Thus, only the theoritical knowledge is gained rather than practical
machining.

The advantages of EDM wire cut machine are the machine is capable of cutting
materials regardless of its hardness. It can cuts intricate, narrow and other characteristic shapes
of a product. There is also no burns generated during cutting process. It is also known that
EDM machining provides great accuracy, precision in cutting process of small and complex
product geometry. Acquiring such high precision and closer tolerances is essential in industries
to get near net shape of production.
RECOMMENDATION

In CNC EDM wire cut machine, there are several precautions and preliminary steps that are
essentials and require extra attention in fabricating product such as:

1. Make sure there is no defect in each cable such as hole to prevent unwanted / inaccuracy
of final product parameter.
2. Clean all the dust and dirt in the working area such as the tank desk and storage tanks.
3. Workpiece should be held tightly and properly to prevent error due to vibration to ease
cutting process.
4. Wear appropriate clothing and follow all regulations as instructed when handling machines.
5. Make sure fire extinguisher is placed at safe distance from the machine and is reachable for
use in emergencies such as failure of electronic and burin of machines.
6. Having regular maintenance check up to avoid unwanted error such as fatigue failure of
machine and leakage of electric compartment.
