Makino BX3

The Makino BX3 is an EDM hole drilling machine for high-volume production of cooling film holes in turbine blade and vane components. It uses an ES200A generator, submerged operation with a programmable rise-and-fall work tank, a 24-station automatic tool changer, and a Hyper-i control. The machine has X, Y, and Z travels plus a two-axis rotary table.

Study notes

  • The BX3 is similar to the EDBV3 model but is specialized for higher production volumes of small aero-engine details.
  • The ES200A generator provides up to 100 Peak Amps and can detect breakthrough within 1 second.
  • Fully submerged operation uses a programmable rise-and-fall work tank.
  • The two-axis rotary table has an A-axis range of 360° and a B-axis range of -140° to +140°.
  • The rotary table positioning rate is 10 rpm.
  • The 24-station ATC accepts supported electrodes up to 700 mm long.
  • Electrode tool holders allow ATC exchanges without moving or draining the work tank.
  • A 10 MPa (1450 psi) diaphragm high-pressure pump is included, with integrated water filtration and de-ionization systems.
  • The Hyper-i control has a 24-inch class HD touch screen.
  • HyperConnect provides IIoT network connectivity for remote machine monitoring and interconnection of manufacturing information.
  • Tank size is 800 mm x 740 mm.
  • Maintenance access is centralized at the rear of the machine to reduce floor space for multiple installations.

Safety

  • Full CE enclosure is standard for added safety.
  • Maximum workpiece size is 300 mm diameter x 300 mm.
