Working on the new wire extension
05/22/2024 at 01:12 • 0 commentsThe first wire extension was very specific for the G-EDM tower. It worked very well but with the new router it is time for a new module and add all the improvements possible.
Access to the wire will be easier. The bearings on the spring loaded tensioners are fully exposed to the operator.
Power feed contact is now a real EDM contact that can be shifted to the side to get a new position and it is also spring loaded. This should increase the lifetime a lot.
The internal routing of the power wire and flush hose will end in connectors. A banana jack on top of the module and a push in connector for the water hose next to it.
The flushing nozzle are threaded now and the upper guide has a grip to easily adjust it.
Not finished yet but it starts to get somewhere:

Progress update G-EDM EVO2
05/01/2024 at 09:50 • 0 commentsThe new machine is almost ready for the first tests. It still lacks a z-axis but for wire EDM it is not needed.
A functional Z-axis does make life easier but the code can run without too.
The fittings to connect the filter hoses are placed at the front of the tank. This way the tank can be removed easily and the machine can then be used as wood mill.
A "little" nozzle can be adjusted to change the direction of the water flow into the tank.
And another future upgrade will be a pulseboard that has the new sensor circuit integrated and some other improvements.

G-EDM EVO2 meets PicoEDM wire extension
03/24/2024 at 02:09 • 0 commentsThe G-EDM Tower was initially designed as a single axis sinker EDM and now with multi axis support it is time to refresh it.
A little Gantry CNC router using the PicoEDM wire extension. Evolution never stops.
For more details about the PicoEDM see: https://github.com/alextreseder/picoEDM
The G-EDM EVO2 is a medium duty high gantry router design that takes care of future upgrades for normal milling operation.
A RO-Filter system is mounted on the back of the machine and the water hoses will be routed through the profile into the tank to make them almost invisible.
