In this paper. we report on the co-operative control of a 5-DOF controlled magnetically-levitated (maglev) local actuator (MLA) combined with a conventional electrical discharge machine. which we developed as a means to increasing the electrical discharge machining (EDM) speed for small deep holes. The MLA enables the electrode to be rotated as well as to be rapidly positioned. https://www.markymarkscott.com/product-category/gift-card/
