Yes. Gap control is highly recommended for sinker/plunge applications. In plunge/sink EDM, gap control is critical for maintaining machining stability. The gap, or spark gap, is the small space between the electrode and the workpiece. Proper gap control ensures consistent sparking conditions, preventing short circuits and arcing that can damage the workpiece and electrode. It also aids in efficient debris removal, cooling, and flushing of the dielectric fluid, which are essential for maintaining a smooth surface finish and achieving high-accuracy machining. Without precise gap control, the machining process can become unstable, leading to poor-quality results and increased wear on the electrodes. The Powercore V2.0 has a current sense and short alert output port to assist the user in thier implementation.
