cut electric discharge machine having an electrode moving device that moves a wire electrode relative to a workpiece, may include a machining condition changing device that changes a machining condition entailing a change of a discharge gap generated by the wire electrode, a correction block inserting device that inserts a correction block into a corner of a movement path where the wire electrode is moved by the electrode moving device, the correction block not corresponding to the contour of the workpiece to be machined, and a changing position setting device that sets a changing position to change the machining condition on the correction block when the machining condition changing device needs to change the machining condition before and after the corner.
In the wire cut electric discharge machine, theChrysler has announced today that it has signed an agreement with American battery supplier A123Systems for new nanophosphate lithium-ion batteries for its future generation of plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles. A123Systems plans to open a new manufacturing facility in Michigan, and via this deal both companies are reinforcing their commitment to keeping the future development of electric mobility in the United States.

Chrysler’s first electric vehicle is due to go on sale next year and will eventually be followed by a range of plug-in hybrid or range-extended vehicles based on the recently revealed Dodge Circuit EV, Jeep Wrangler EV, Jeep Patriot EV, Chrysler Town & Country EV, and the Chrysler 200C EV concept cars.

All the vehicles will feature the same modular battery set-up, only on a different scale depending
