Our best estimate for the Makino EDFH-1 is $100,000 - $160,000. 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-edfh-1#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Both have a 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in) table with 220 mm of X and 180 mm of Y. The difference is Z: 300 mm (11.8 in) on the EDFH-1 against 220 mm (8.66 in) on the EDAC1. Choose the EDFH-1 when the electrode or the part needs the extra vertical stroke.
Workpieces up to 50 kg (110 lb). The work tank is 450 x 350 x 200 mm (17.7 in x 13.8 in x 7.9 in) and the table 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in), so the 200 mm (7.9 in) tank depth is usually the first limit on a tall part.
Makino states alignment tolerances of 2 microns (0.00008”) or smaller over the full stroke of each axis. The design also isolates heat from the electrical and generator cabinet, integrates the dielectric reservoir into the base casting and uses a stationary work table.
The table lists tool capacities of 8 and 16. It does not say which is standard, and Makino's description of the machine does not cover the changer, so confirm the size on the quotation.
Makino's Hyper-i control on a large high-definition 24” class touch screen. It includes the E-Tech Doctor function and on-board machine manuals with integrated training videos, and supports customization and remote monitoring options.
