In Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), pulse on time refers to the duration during which the electrical discharge occurs, allowing material to be removed from the workpiece. Conversely, pulse off time is the interval between discharges, during which the molten material solidifies, and the dielectric fluid flushes away debris. Optimizing the ratio of pulse on and off times is crucial for achieving efficient machining, improving surface finish, and preventing electrode wear. Balancing these times enhances the overall machining effectiveness and precision.
Basic what happens. Is with longer on time duration (pulse) you get higher burn rate. But a correct balance of on and off times is how you keep from wearing the electrode more than the part.
Background: PRI = Pulse Rate Interval. PRI is a term used in Radio Frequency (RF) systems. Specifically, Pulse mode RF systems, as apposed to continuous wave (CW) systems. Each pulse has an on period, pulse width (PW), and an off period. PRI is the time from the start of one pulse to the start of the next pulse. For example, if a pulse on time is 10 microseconds (uSec) and the off time is 90 uSec then the PRI is 100 uSec. Answer: A staggered PRI does not have a constant on and off time. The off time varies.
what is the purpose of edm
pulse width modulation is nothing but changing on and off time period of a waveform without changing its frequency
The width of a pulse and power are related by a term called duty cycle. Full power means the pulse comes ON and Stays ON continuously for 100% duty cycle. No power means pulse is OFF continuously for a 0% duty cycle. 50% duty cycle means pulse stays ON half the time and OFF half the time. Duty cycle can be used to explain the relationship between pulse and power content.
Pulse-modulation
To calculate the time for one pulse in a drive system, you need to know the pulse frequency or pulse rate of the drive. The time per pulse is the inverse of the pulse frequency. For example, if the pulse frequency is 100 Hz, the time for one pulse would be 1/100 = 0.01 seconds, or 10 milliseconds.
clock is consider every signal time duration (on time and off time period) are must be constant.pluse is consider on time or off time period are same time period or it varies.
To set up EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), first, ensure you have the necessary equipment, including the EDM machine, a power supply, and the appropriate electrodes. Begin by selecting the right electrode material and shape based on the workpiece and desired finish. Then, secure the workpiece on the machine and configure the machine settings, such as current, voltage, and pulse duration, according to the material and thickness. Finally, start the machining process, monitoring for any adjustments needed during operation.

EDM, or Electronic Distance Measurement, is a technology used in surveying to measure distances accurately using electromagnetic waves. It operates by sending a signal from a device to a target, which reflects the signal back, allowing the EDM instrument to calculate the distance based on the time taken for the signal to return. This method is favored for its precision and efficiency, especially in large-scale surveying projects. EDM devices can be integrated with GPS and other surveying equipment for enhanced functionality.
