WIRE ELECTRIC DISCHARGE MACHINE AND WIRE ELECTRODE REMOVAL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A wire electric discharge machine comprising:
- a wire-electrode cutting unit that is placed on a running path of a wire electrode to cut the wire electrode; and
a removal unit that removes a wire electrode cut by the wire-electrode cutting unit from the running path, whereinthe removal unit includesa wire-electrode guide unit that guides an end on a cut point side of the wire electrode cut by the wire-electrode cutting unit to outside of the running path,a rewind shaft that pressure-fixes the wire electrode on the cut point side guided by the wire-electrode guide unit with an end face thereof, and rewinds the wire electrode on a columnar member having angular portions with subsequent rotational driving,a rewind-shaft drive unit that drives the rewind shaft to perform pressure fixing or pressure releasing of the wire electrode with the rewind shaft,a scraper member that removes the wound wire electrode from the columnar member at a time of pressure releasing of the rewind shaft by the rewind-shaft drive unit, anda collection member that collects the removed wire electrode.
