Our best estimate for the Makino BX3 is $90,000 - $140,000. This is an estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class, not a quote from Makino; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/makino-bx3#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Both are blade and vane EDM drilling machines with 370 mm (14.6 in) of X, 270 mm (10.6 in) of Y and 24 tool positions. The BX3 rapids at 10 m/min (394 in/min) against 5 m/min (197 in/min) on the EDBV3, has 750 mm (29.5 in) of Z against 500 mm (19.7 in), and a B-axis of ±140º against -110/+30°.
Makino's fully digital ES200A generator, with an increase in power of up to 100 Peak Amps. Its adaptive control detects break-through within 1 second, which is important when drilling into the hollow internal cavities of blades and vanes.
Workpieces up to 11.81"Ø x 11.81" and 20 kg (44 lb), mounted on the integral rotary table with A: 360º and B: ±140º. The travels are 370 mm (14.6 in) in X, 270 mm (10.6 in) in Y and 750 mm (29.5 in) in Z.
The 24 station ATC accepts fully supported electrodes up to 700mm (27.6") long. The simplified electrode tool holders allow changes without moving or draining the work tank, so the machine keeps running submerged between holes.
Yes. All machining is fully submerged, using a programmable rise and fall work tank of 800 mm x 740 mm (31.50 in x 29.13 in). Makino states that submerged operation is critical for stable break-through. The dielectric is filtered and de-ionized on board.
