Abstract

The aim of this research is to design and manufacture a clamping aid used in conjunction with a vise for multi-stage cutting on the wire electrical discharge machining. The workpiece used for the design of clamping aids is a spring collet of the drill chuck. The machining process requires holding the workpiece to cut the shank part, then the workpiece must be reversed and rotated 90 degrees to cut the part of the spring collet. The material used for the construction of the clamping accessory is an aluminum plate. The wire electrical discharge machining and milling were the main processes for work material removed as the design. The experimental result was found that the capability process of clamping device was higher than 1.330 The capability process of the cutting in the region of shank and collet part of drill chuck was resulted by 1.852 and 2.924, respectively. From these results, it can be concluded that the performance of the clamping device designed and manufactured is sufficient to use for multiple cutting processes in the wire electrical discharge machining.
