Our best estimate for the Makino EDBV3 is $85,000 - $135,000. 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-edbv3#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
A break-thru detection circuit is standard. Makino states it detects break-through within 1 second or 0.040" (1.0mm) of depth, so the electrode stops before it strikes the far wall of a hollow cavity. Submerged machining in de-ionized water also gives a more stable break-thru.
The rotary table takes 5 kg (11 lb) as standard and 15 kg (33 lb) as an option. Travels are 370 mm (14.6 in) in X, 270 mm (10.6 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z, so the machine is sized for individual blades and vanes.
Both have 370 mm (14.6 in) of X and 270 mm (10.6 in) of Y. The BX3 rapids at 10 m/min (394 in/min) against 5 m/min (197 in/min), has 750 mm (29.5 in) of Z against 500 mm (19.7 in), and a B-axis of ±140º against the EDBV3's -110/+30°.
The Die Guide and the electrode tooling are loaded and exchanged together as an assembled unit, which keeps the combined ATC and AGC (Automatic Guide Change) exchange within 30 seconds. The tool changer holds 24 tools.
No. All machining is done fully submerged in de-ionized water in a programmable 3-sided Rise and Fall tank of 790 x 611 mm (31.1 in x 24.1 in), which minimizes water over-spray. Water quality is kept by an on-board chiller and filtration and de-ionization systems.
