How much does the GF AgieCharmilles Form S 1000 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class — not a quote from GF Machining Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The AgieCharmilles Form S 1000 is a heavy die-sinking EDM listed with 1,000 x 630 x 500 mm of X, Y and Z travel, a 1,300 x 800 mm table and room for workpieces up to 8,000 kg. It does not appear in GF Machining Solutions' current lineup, and nobody has been able to match its table to a GF page, so every figure below is a listed figure to be confirmed on the machine itself.
The 8,000 kg rating is what sets it apart. Automotive and appliance moulds in that weight class rarely fit a mid-size sinker, and the listed 500 mm part height and 500 mm Z stroke suit deep cavities in thick blocks. The ISPG generator is listed at 160A peak current for roughing large electrode areas, and the best finish is given as Ra 0.1 µm, which the table describes as mirror-finish capable.
The machine itself is listed at 22,000 kg, so relocation is a rigging project. For comparison with a current model, the AgieCharmilles FORM P 900 has 900 x 700 x 500 mm of travel and a 3,000 kg workpiece limit. Control is listed as the GF AC Form HMI with iQ technology.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed workpiece capacity of 8,000 kg on a 1,300 x 800 mm table
- 1,000 mm of X travel with 500 mm of Z for deep cavities
- ISPG generator listed at 160A peak current for large roughing areas

Limitations
- Y travel is 630 mm, less than the 700 mm of the current AgieCharmilles FORM P 900
- Listed machine weight of 22,000 kg needs a dedicated foundation and heavy rigging
- The table gives no electrode weight limit, tank capacity or bath level

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It is not in GF Machining Solutions' current lineup. The nearest current size is the AgieCharmilles FORM P 900, with 900 x 700 x 500 mm of travel and a 3,000 kg workpiece limit, against the 8,000 kg listed for the Form S 1000.
02
The listed limit is 8,000 kg on a 1,300 x 800 mm table, with parts up to 500 mm high. Check that the table and its supports are undamaged on a used machine before loading anything near that figure.
03
The table lists an ISPG generator with 160A peak current and a best surface finish of Ra 0.1 µm. Confirm the generator and the AC Form HMI with iQ technology are both in working order, since they set what the machine can rough and finish.
04
The machine is listed at 22,000 kg, before any dielectric. Moving it needs heavy rigging, and the floor must be assessed for that load plus the workpieces of up to 8,000 kg it is meant to carry.
