ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING CENTER Abstract of the Disclosure A multiple axis electrical discharge machine has a pair of indexable turrets each of which carries a plurality of electrode cartridges each with a supply of individually releasable electrodes and with each cartridge supplying a stream of selectable types of electrodes for machining holes in airfoils and the like. The machine includes means and a method of electrode transfer from an electrode transfer station at which individual electrodes are selectively transferred to an electrode tool holder; the machine including a programmable electrode tool holder carousel and opposed tool carriers for moving pre-selected combinations of tool holders and electrodes between the transfer station and a tool changer. The aforesaid arrangement is selectively operated to load and unload electrodes on a vertically disposed spindle head and to maintain a continuous machine operation limited only by the capacity of the electrodes in the electrode cartridges and wherein the method of electrode transfer includes selection of one of the streams of electrodes and then a staged clamping of an electrode as it is transferred from one of the streams to a tool holder.
