Well, maybe that isn't the correct term in english. That is NC (numerically
controlled) machine used for making holes and grooves in tool making. You
have steel plate ( future tool) submerged in special oil and copper
electrode attached to the head of the machine. The head moves electrode near
to the plate. An arc is created, it melts away the material  and oil washes
it away. In time you get a hole in the plate, shaped like your electrode.
The machine itself controls current, movement,...
