This paper describes the development of parallel spark EDM method. In the discharge circuit, the electrode is divided into multiple electrodes, each of which is electrically insulated and connected to the pulse generator through a diode. A capacitor is inserted parallel to each discharge gap between each electrode and workpiece (here workpiece is common for each electrode). Compared with conventional EDM in which only a singular discharge can be generated for each pulse, multiple discharges can dispersively be generated for each pulse in parallel spark EDM. Results of experiments on parallel spark EDM and conventional EDM show that not only is the machining process more stable, but the machining speed and surface roughness can also be improved with parallel spark EDM.
