Die sinking electrical discharge machine EDBV8

CNChigh-accuracyhigh-speed

The EDBV8 is designed to achieve top machining performance with an ideal combination of speed, accuracy, and metallurgical quality The EDBV8 (Electrical Discharge Blade and Vane) machine expands on the X/Y/Z stroke capacities of the smaller EDBV3, and has been designed with a focus on EDM Drilling of turbine engine components. Reliability and consistent quality are an essential performance attribute to production EDM Drilling of blade and vane details found in power generation and aerospace applications, and the EDBV8 contains many unique technologies that minimize process variations. All machining is performed fully submerged, which facilitates faster and more stable machining, and eliminates the need for traditional manual setup of cumbersome splash guards while preventing shop safety slip hazards caused by water over-spray. Optimal machining speeds are achieved when drilling cooling film holes and diffusors while preventing internal back-striking, as the EDBV8 has the capability to detect electrode break-thru within 1 second or 0.040” (1.0mm) of depth with its advanced break-thru detection system. The EDBV8 utilizes water as a di-electric fluid, and the water reservoir has been integrated into the base casting to minimize the machine foot print while also improving thermal stability, and a chiller unit, water filtration, and de-ionization systems are provided to maintain the water quality. Excellent operator ergonomics and work zone access are provided for loading/unloading tasks with the 3-sided programmable Rise and Fall Work Tank, and multiple sides and locations of the work piece can be accessed in a single setup using the integral 2-Axis rotary table.
