Control of electrical discharge machining servo system

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the earliest non-traditional machining processes. EDM process is based on thermoelectric energy between the work piece and an electrode. Material removal rate (MRR) is an important performance measure in EDM process. A servo system is employed which com...
