Abstract

A self-spinning electro-spark linear cutting machine includes a main body having a working table, a power box and a control system, an emulsion box and at least one wire traveling device that operates the electrode wire in a high speed rotation, while making a linear movement. The wire traveling device includes a main shaft, a wire spool coaxially mounted on and rotable about the main shaft, and speed transformation gears driven by the main shaft and coupled for driving the wire spool to rotate coaxially in the same direction but at a different speed with the main shaft.
