Automation systems and integration — Physical device control — Data model for computerized numerical controllers — Part 14: Process data for sink electrical discharge machining (sink-EDM)

ISO 14649-14:2013 specifies the technology-specific data element needed as process data for sink-EDM. Together with the general process data described in ISO 14649‑10, it describes the interface between computerized numerical controller and the programming system (i.e. CAM system or shop-floor programming system) for sink-EDM. It can be used for sink-EDM operations on this kind of machine. The scope of ISO 14649-14:2013 does not include tools for any other technologies (e.g. turning, grinding). Tools for these technologies are described in other parts of ISO 14649.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received. www.iso.org/patents

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

ISO 14649-14:2013(E)
Introduction

ISO 14649-10 describes the general process data for numerical controlled machining and includes its

schema. The subject of this schema (called machining_schema) is the definition of data types, which

are generally relevant for different technologies (e.g. milling, turning, sink-EDM). It includes the

definition of the workpiece, a feature catalogue containing features, which might be referenced by

several technologies, the general executables and the basis for an operation definition. Not included in

this schema are geometric items and presentations, which are referenced from the generic resources

of ISO 10303, and the technology-specific definitions, which are defined in separate parts of ISO 14649.

ISO 14649-10 is not a stand-alone standard. Its implementation needs at least one additional technology-

specific part (e.g. ISO 14649-11 for milling). This part of ISO 14649 describes sink Electrical Discharging

Machining (sink-EDM) and it defines technology-specific data types representing the machining process

for sink-EDM.

The main text of this part of ISO 14649 provides definitions and explanations of the data entities needed

to provide control data information to an EDM controller.

The EXPRESS forms of the entities are given again in Annex A without the explanatory text for information.

Annex B provides an alternative view of these entities, with the different figures showing graphical

representations of different elements. These figures are purely informative: a detailed explanation of

the entities in the figures is given in the corresponding text definitions.

In addition, the schema uses machining features similar to ISO 10303-224. The description of process

data is carried out using EXPRESS language as defined in ISO 10303-11. The encoding of the data is

carried out using ISO 10303-21.

4.2 Manufacturing features for sink-EDM
4.2.1 General

The sink-EDM features defined in this subclause are the features that are specific for sink-EDM technology,

and are not defined in ISO 14649-10. The base class for all sink-EDM features is the machining_feature,

defined in ISO 14649-10.
4.2.2 Sink-EDM volumetric pocket

The sink_edm_volumetric_pocket describes a special sink-EDM cavity feature. This feature is created

by orbiting the reference point of the tool axis within closed volume. The final shape of the pocket is

defined by the outline shape of the tool. The closed volume is defined as a revolved feature, where the

feature_boundary curve is revolved around the axis.

4.3 Machining operation for sink-EDM
4.3.1 General

This subclause introduces all the machining operations and technology-specific data that are needed

for sink-EDM.
4.3.2 Sink-EDM machining operation

The sink_edm_machining_operation classes define the machining process for a limited area of the

workpiece, i.e. the contents of a machining workingstep. This entity is inherited by the machining_

workingstep class defined in ISO 14649-10. This class defines additional information needed by the

sink-EDM machining. It is a subtype of entity machining_operation defined in ISO 14649-10.

step.IF “x_+3” “” “” IF “x_+3” “”

“” IF “x_-3” “” “” IF “x_-3” “ Tbl_no_borders>” “”

depth_of_step: Depth of each additional step (repeated until the depth of the hole is reached).

approach: Optional information about approach (plunge) strategy to reach the first cut. If multi-

ple layers are cut, as specified by first_depth, this strategy will also be used to move

from one layer to the start point of the next layer. By default, the NC controller decides

about the approach strategy. It may decide not to use any approach movement at all

if the start point of cutting coincides with the end point of cutting for the preceding

operation. If its_toolpath is given, this attribute will be ignored.

retract: Optional information about retract strategy after finishing the last cut. By default, the

NC controller decides about the retract strategy. It may decide not to use any retract

movement at all if the end point of cutting coincides with the start point of cutting for

the next operation. If its_toolpath is given, this attribute will be ignored.
4.3.3 Sink-EDM technology

This entity defines the technological parameters of the sink-EDM operation. It is a subtype of entity

technology defined in ISO 14649-10. Since the number of technology parameters are machine dependent,

the technology contains only a list that can contain any number of property parameters.

SUBTYPE OF (technology);
spindle: OPTIONAL rot_speed_measure;
sync_spindle_and_z_feed: BOOLEAN;
other_generator_parameters: SET [0:?] OF property_parameter;

spindle: Rotational speed of the tool. As defined for rot_speed_measure, positive

values indicate tool rotation in mathematical positive direction of the c
axis, i.e. counter-clockwise motion if looking from the tool holder to the
workpiece. Note that usual cutting tools require clockwise motion so
the value of this attribute will typically be negative.IF “x_+3” “ borders>” “” IF “x_+3” “” “” borders>IF “x_-3” “” “” IF “x_-3”

4.3.5 Sink-EDM machining strategy
4.3.5.1 General

The sink_edm_machining_strategy class specifies the strategy to be used when executing the operation.

When it is specified it will modify the final offset toolpath generation method. It is a subtype of entity

machining_strategy defined in ISO 14649-10.

stepover_direction: If this attribute is outside_in, sink-EDM will start at the outer contour and pro-

ceed towards the centre. This is the default. Otherwise, it will start at the centre

and proceed towards the outer contour.
