{"id":"makino-bx3","model_id":"BX3","name":"Makino BX3","summary":"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_notes":["Full CE enclosure is standard for added safety.","Maximum workpiece size is 300 mm diameter x 300 mm."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.makino.com/en-us/machine-technology/machines/edm-hole-drilling/bx3","title":"EDM Hole Drilling","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":7,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_edm","manufacturer":"makino","controllers":[],"travel_x_mm":370,"travel_y_mm":270,"travel_z_mm":750,"rapid_traverse_m_min":10,"tool_capacity":24,"table_load_kg":20,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/makino-bx3","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
