A sealing device and a wire electrical discharge machine that may reduce sludge deposition, include a seal base, a seal plate, a bellows member, a flow passage, and a guide rail member. The guide rail member is open on the inward direction side thereof to cause sludge generated by machining of an object to be machined to flow into a machining tank along with a machining liquid supplied between the bellows member and the seal plate.

An electrochemical machining assembly for boring a passage in an electrically conductive workpiece. The electrochemical machining assembly includes an electrochemical machining tool having a telescoping collar with an articulating head coupled thereto. The telescoping collar is hydraulically actuatable between a contracted configuration and an extended configuration responsive to fluid pressure provided by an electrolyte fluid circulated by the electrochemical machining assembly to advance the telescoping collar stepwise in the passage. The articulating head is tiltable relative to the telescoping collar to determine a direction of the passage. The electrochemical machining assembly is configured to remove material from the workpiece upon application of a voltage between the articulating head and the workpiece via the electrolyte fluid to lengthen the passage.
