Preowned EDM Die sinking machines 168

Looking to enhance your operations with top-tier machining technology? Discover die sinking EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) machines on Kitmondo. Designed for both large-scale manufacturers and smaller enterprises, these machines offer unmatched precision, quality, and efficiency.

Die sinking EDM machines, also known as cavity or volume EDM, excel at creating intricate 3D shapes. They operate by discharging thousands of sparks between an electrode and the workpiece, eroding material with high precision.

When investing in a die sinking EDM machine, consider these key technical parameters:

1. Machine Capacity: Ensure the machine can accommodate the dimensions of your workpieces.
2. Power: Higher power ratings enable faster production.
3. Electrode Size and Type: Compatibility with required electrodes affects accuracy and detail.
4. CNC Controls: Look for sophisticated yet user-friendly control systems for efficient operation.
5. Axis Travel: Larger axis travel allows for bigger components or multiple smaller ones.
6. Servicing and Maintenance: Check the availability of servicing and spare parts.
7. Machine Age and Condition: Assess the machine's age and condition for performance and durability.

Die Sinking vs. Wire EDM

Die Sinking EDM:

• Uses a shaped electrode to erode material.
• Ideal for creating complex cavities in hardened steel molds and dies.
• Commonly used in mold-making and for prototypes.

Wire EDM:

• Uses a thin wire to cut through the workpiece.
• Suitable for intricate contours and cavities in pre-hardened steel.
• Excellent for punches, tools, and intricate patterns.

Cost and Budget

The cost of a new die sinking EDM machine ranges from around €50,000 to over €200,000, depending on size, capabilities, and features. Additional costs include installation, training, maintenance, and peripheral equipment. Used machines typically range from €9,000 to €32,000.
