{"id":"makino-edbv8","model_id":"EDBV8","name":"Makino EDBV8","summary":"The Makino EDBV8 is an electrical discharge machining (EDM) hole drilling machine for turbine engine blade and vane details. It performs fully submerged drilling with a water dielectric and has an integral 2-axis rotary table, automatic tool and guide change, and break-through detection. Its Hyper-i control provides touchscreen programming and electrode length management.","study_notes":["Water dielectric system uses an integrated reservoir in the base casting, with chiller, water filtration, and de-ionization systems.","The work tank is a 3-sided programmable rise-and-fall type; the integral 2-axis rotary table allows access to multiple workpiece sides in one setup.","The tooling system performs ATC (Automatic Tool Change) and AGC (Automatic Guide Change) simultaneously using a common pre-assembled Die Guide and Electrode unit exchanged within 45 seconds.","A Middle Guide system prevents electrode bending and vibration during machining with long electrodes.","The Hyper-i control uses a 24-inch class high-definition touch screen and Windows 7 operating system.","Hyper-i control functions include canned cycles for diffuser shape programming, graphically driven part pick-up cycles, and intelligent electrode length management.","Rotary table axes are listed as A: 360° and B: -110/+30°.","Z stroke is listed as 500 mm, with 750 mm shown in parentheses.","Tank size is 1,400 x 1,050 mm.","Maximum workpiece weight is 50 kg, with 150 kg stated for an optional rotary table.","Break-through detection is stated to detect electrode break-through within 1 second or 0.040 in (1.0 mm) of depth.","The Hyper-i control is named but has no matching controller reference id."],"safety_notes":["Fully submerged machining eliminates the need for traditional manual splash guards and prevents shop-floor slip hazards caused by water over-spray."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.makino.com/en-us/machine-technology/machines/edm-hole-drilling/edbv8","title":"EDBV8","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":800,"travel_y_mm":600,"travel_z_mm":500,"rapid_traverse_m_min":5,"tool_capacity":24,"table_load_kg":50,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/makino-edbv8","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
