Abstract
A cutting mechanism for use in an electrical discharge cutting machine that has a frame mounting a wire electrode cutter, a pair of rollers to feeder the wire electrode and a sensor for detecting the presence of the wire electrode. The frame can be moved from side-to-side so that it may be positioned to feed the wire electrode to a machining zone or to a disposal box when a portion of the wire electrode is to be cut off following a breakage of the wire electrode.
