Makino EDAF3-FH

The EDAF3-FH is a Makino EDM machine that combines 4-axis CNC ram EDM with EDM hole drilling on a single machine, using dielectric oil for the drilling process. It has a 700 x 500 mm table with X/Y/Z travels of 450/350/350 mm and accepts workpieces up to 800 kg. Hole drilling uses a programmable W-axis arm carrying the die guide and middle guide, plus high-pressure flushing and a C-axis for indexing and continuous rotation.

Study notes

Machine combines standard 4-axis CNC ram EDM capability with EDM hole drilling.
Control is Makino's Hyper-i, with a 24 inch class high-definition touch screen, on-board training system and E-Tech Doctor functions.
Dielectric reservoir is integrated into the base casting to reduce floor space and improve thermal stability.
Chilled fluid is circulated through the Y-axis and Z-axis structures to hold the machine at a stable temperature.
Work tank is a 3-sided programmable rise-and-fall type; tank size is 850 x 650 x 400 mm (33.5 x 25.6 x 15.8 in).
ATC capacity is offered as 8, 16 or 32 positions.
The W-axis runs parallel to the Z-axis but is independent, for positioning to the die guide.
The W-axis arm can be removed and reinstalled in under a minute using quick disconnects and a rigid Curvic coupler, allowing unobstructed ram EDM operation.
A middle guide in the W-axis arm supports small-diameter electrodes to prevent vibration or bending during drilling.
High-pressure flushing during EDM drilling is available at pressures up to 6 MPa (870 psi) or 10 MPa (1490 psi).
C-axis provides precision indexing and continuous rotation up to 2,000 rpm.
Rapid traverse is 5 m/min (197 in/min).

Safety

Equipped with a U/V flame sensor and fire extinguisher system for safe unattended operation.
