Our best estimate for the Makino EDBV8 is $130,000 - $195,000. 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-edbv8#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
EDM drilling of turbine engine components, mainly cooling film holes and diffusers in blades and vanes for power generation and aerospace. Break-through detection recognises the electrode breaking through within 1 second or 0.040” (1.0mm) of depth, and a Middle Guide keeps long electrodes from bending and vibrating.
Stroke. The EDBV8 has 800 mm (31.5 in) of X and 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y, while the EDBV3 has 370 mm (14.6 in) and 270 mm (10.6 in). Both list a 500 mm (19.7 in) Z, a 5 m/min (197 in/min) rapid, the A 360° / B -110/+30° rotary table and a tool capacity of 24.
50 kg (110 lb) as standard and 150 kg (330 lb) with the optional rating. Weigh the fixture and the part together against these limits, since everything sits on the tilting table rather than on a fixed bed.
Water. The reservoir is integrated into the base casting, which keeps the footprint small and helps thermal stability, and the machine is supplied with a chiller, water filtration and de-ionization to maintain water quality. All machining is done fully submerged.
The electrode and its die guide are pre-assembled as one unit, so a single exchange performs both the ATC and the AGC (automatic guide change) function. Makino gives the exchange as within 45 seconds. The table lists a tool capacity of 24.
