附 录英文原文Feed rate control of the wire-EDM process1、IntroductionThe CNC wire-EDM machines first appears in the market in the 1970s，Although the wire-EDM process has been playing an important role in the tooling and manufacturing industry，especially for the production of punches and dies，The metal removal process of wire-EDM is very complex with stochastic and time-varying characteristics。 Moreover， many machining conditions such as workpiece properties(material，thickness)，machining settings(wire feed， table feed， flushing pressure，etc。)and power settings(pulse on-time，pulse interval，etc。)have an effect to the machining process。In order to improve the machining efficiency，stability and quality，many efforts have been made by the researchers and manufacturers to develop pulse discrimination and control system。Liao et al。developed a pulse discrimination system to study the characteristics of pulse trains in the wire-EDM process。They also proposed an approximate method for estimating the variation of the average gap width。Wire breakage and unstable machining drastically reduce the machining efficiency and accuracy in wire-EDM。Some adaptive control systems using the fuzzy control strategy employed the sensing parameters detected by the developed pulse discriminating and control system to monitor and control wire rupture suppression as well as maintain stable machining。Although these adaptive control systems can be applied to a wide rangeof machining conditions，they cannot respond to the gap conditions properly when there is an unexpected disturbance such as the condition of machining a stair-shape workpiece。In order to carry out the processing of a workpiece with variable height，Rajurkar et al。 presented an adaptive control system to on-line optimize the sparking frequency by estimating the workpiece height with a multi-input model。 This paper presents a new computer-aided pulse discriminating and control system for process motoring and control in wire-EDM。By means of the
