The article describes the factors of increasing the efficiency of processing products on EDM equipment. due to the use of linear drives with high dynamic accuracy. Also, the inter-electrode gap in the processing zone, its influence on optimal energy regimes and maximum material removal was investigated in the work. The electrode is fed into the spark formation zone 5-10 times more often, the relative duration is several times longer than in machines with KGP drives. Sludge removal due to the pumping effect from rapid movements of the electrode instead of pumping. The use of linear motors, servo drives, precision linear position sensors, devices for automatic wire feeding, hole search, wire breakage prevention - will increase the productivity of wire-cutting processing by 40-100%.A comparative analysis of the performance of parts processing on equipment with the use of linear and KGP (ball-screw pairs) drives was carried out.
