Abstract
A wire cut electric discharge machine including a device (6) for pulling a wire electrode (1) such that it travels along a wire transport path, a servo motor (4B) which applies tension to the traveling wire electrode, an NC device which generates a signal indicating a tension setting value; a tension detector (9) which detects the tension applied to the wire electrode and generates a signal indicating the detected value, and a tension control device which processes the signal indicating the tension setting value and the signal indicating the tension detection value, and commands the servo motor rotational speed. The tension control device includes a non-essential frequencies setting circuit (20) which sets non-essential frequencies and generates a signal indicating that setting value, and an electric filter device (19), which blocks non-essential frequencies based on the non-essential frequencies setting circuit output signal.
