Hi everyone,

I am struggling to find a decent explanation of Arc ON/OFF time. We are using Accutex Wire EDM, where you are dealing both with Pulse ON/OFF time and Arc ON/OFF time.

The instructions manual we have is written in a strange English language, I guess they simply used Google translate, so the wording is very strange and nearly impossible to understand what they mean.

For example, the Arc ON time explanation is the following:
"This parameter AON time is control Auxiliary cutting current select. The value is up the output cutting energize and speed is increase, but workpiece surface roughness will be more rough and more easy wire break."

We would appreciate, if someone could explain the difference between Pulse ON/OFF time and Arc ON/OFF time.

Many thanks,
Gasper
