A gap width controller is one of the key components of each electrical discharge machine. It is gap width controllers that mainly determine the machining speed and accuracy. This article describes a gap width controller based on fuzzy logic. The control algorithm operates according to the number of short circuits, open circuits and normal pulses that occur within a control period. A specially developed PC application allows for accessing and modifying electrical discharge machining parameters.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.16.249.6048}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/edm-gap-width-controller-based-on-the-relative-frequency-of-short-circuits-method} }
