Our best estimate for the Makino EDAF3-FH is $155,000 - $220,000. 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-edaf3-fh#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino says the EDAF3-Fine Hole performs at the same level as the EDAF2-Fine Hole but with larger strokes and a larger work tank. The EDAF3-FH has 450 mm (17.7 in) of X and a 700 x 500 mm (27.5 in x 19.7 in) table; the EDAF2-FH has 350 mm (13.8 in) of X, 250 mm (9.8 in) of Y and a 500 x 350 mm (19.7 x 13.8 in) table.
A programmable axis that runs parallel to the Z-axis but independently, positioning the arm that holds the Die Guide and the Middle Guide. The arm can be removed or refitted in less than a minute with quick disconnects and a Curvic coupler, so the machine can switch to unobstructed ram EDM work.
Makino states that drilling in EDM dielectric oil improves drilling accuracy, edge quality and the metallurgical characteristics of the hole. The machine is also fitted with a U/V Flame Sensor and Fire Extinguisher system for safe unattended operation.
High pressure flushing is offered at 6 MPa or 10 MPa during EDM drilling. A high speed C-axis is standard, giving precision indexing and continuous rotation up to 2,000rpm, which keeps the electrode wearing evenly while it drills.
Travels are 450 mm (17.7 in) in X and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Y and Z. The table is 700 x 500 mm (27.5 in x 19.7 in), the work tank 850 x 650 x 400 mm (33.5 in x 25.6 in x 15.8 in), and workpieces can weigh up to 800 kg (1,760 lb).
