The problem of μPECMM it is that I am using pulses in the ps and ns range and the voltages used are very small. Gap voltage is 0 V is only achieved after a certain time. Also, it will not be quite 0V, but accept a voltage value of the order of galvanic voltage differences.
It is the question not only measure simple but also timely to process the value for a control.
I know that all those with the μPECMM (Pulse Electrochemical Micro Machining - Double Layer reloading) is aware of this problem, but does not discuss because of the mostly good surface results.
But it would be good to know whether the shorts have a signified effect, and whether the impact on larger working surfaces (higher operating currents) is stronger. This is an important issue with respect to the increase in productivity of μPECMM.
