The user needs: The offset and the rotation of anelectrode (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 A

GeneralEvery CMM user can generate offset Data for EDM operation Case AThe CMM generates offset information(X,Y, Z and Rotation angle C),Results are entered manually intoEDM System- Pro: no interface necessary-- Con: time consuming and prone to operator typing error

Case B Step1CMM 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)
