Electrical discharge machining method is a valuable manufacturing method in the microfactory system. In this study, a model-based process analysis and control methods are developed. The electric discharge power simulation and process simulation can be introduced and the optimization of EDM machining condition for the better understanding of electrical discharge phenomena. For the accurate control of machining depth in EDM, a real time control method is developed using plasma pulse counting. As a result, it is demonstrated that the flat machined surface can be obtatined using the developed control method.
