Abstract
A wire transport system for an electrical discharge machining apparatus with at least one wire electrode includes a wire supply, a wire tensioner and/or a wire disposer arranged such that the entire wire transport is automated. The wire is automatically transported from the wire supply to a processing zone, in particular, by a fluid. Due to the elimination of fluctuations in the uniform movement of the wire, a wire transport with less vibration is attained, and the processing quality is improved. In addition, a higher reliability is achieved.
