Abstract:
An EDM electrode holder includes a system for fixing the lateral position of the electrode relative to the holder, to allow an operator to substantially reduce set up time in mounting an EDM electrode to an EDM machine. The lateral positioning arrangement includes a series of pins provided on the electrode holder in predetermined locations, and a series of openings formed in the electrode in locations corresponding to that of the pins. The pins are received within the openings to laterally position the electrode, and the electrode is then secured to the holder.
