1. GUIDELINES REGARDING USER SAFETY
a) The precondition for the safe and efficient operation of the machine is to read this
operation manual carefully and strictly follow all safety instructions contained therein.
b) Prior to the first use of the machine, undergo appropriate training.
c) The BP93p Electric Discharge Machine must be used, according to its purposes,
exclusively.
d) Before commencing work, make sure you are well familiar with operating the machine
and its correct use.
e) Before each maintenance and adjustment of the BP93p machine, disconnect it from
power supply.
f) Always disconnect power supply, before filling or changing water in the tank.
g) Should water from the tank be spilled, clean it with the machine disconnected from
power supply.
h) Apply integrated spot lighting, in order to make sure your workpiece is well lit.
i) Remove all freely moving elements from the machine, in order to make sure that it
can be transported safely.
j) Do not use the machine, if its guard is damaged.
2. INTENDED USE
The BP93p cavity type electrical discharge machine is intended to perform electron
discharge machining of all types of steel, cast iron, alloys, aluminium, and other electro-
conductive materials. It is used primarily to produce injection moulds, blanking dies, and
when machining tools after thermal and/or chemical treatment.
The PP15 control system applied in the machine enables the following:
a) Creating executive programs based on G- and M-codes;
o Carrying out a drilling process: along any straight line in the machining
space; along any straight line, including a rotating movement of the
electrode (A-axis); along any arc, within the XY-plane; spirally, along the
Z-axis;
o Programming activation/deactivation of additional functions, when drilling,
such as: vibrating motion of the electrode; orbiting around a circle; and
orbiting around a square (applicable to the Z-axis only);
o Programming selection of one of the ten available systems of working
coordinates;
o Declaring execution of n cavities in the pre-defined direction;
b) Communicating with a PC, via RS232, Bluetooth, or an SD card;
c) Storing up to 20 executive programs on an SD card.
