ABSTRACT = {A methodology of on-line monitoring of the diameter of the cathode 
electrode is put forward in light of the issue that the diameter of the cathode 
electrode cannot be detected in an accurate manner in short electric arc machine 
tools. The monitoring methodology is capable of precisely determining the wear 
amount of the cathode electrode and uses the bus module in the numerical control 
machine tool to feed the wear amount of the cathode electrode back to the 
numerical control system (CNC system). The CNC system dynamically adjusts 
the position of the cathode electrode by driving the compensation shaft to ensure
that the discharge gap between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode is 
within the control range and attain smooth machining. On this basis, a dynamic 
compensation system for cathode electrode wear for a short electric arc machine 
tool is developed, which has the potential to automate short electric arc machining 
and improving the machining performance of the machine tool. The feasibility of 
this methodology is verified by a machining experiment.},
