How much does the GF AgieCharmilles FORM E 350 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
This AgieCharmilles FORM E 350 page lists a compact sinker EDM with 350 mm of X, 250 mm of Y and 250 mm of Z travel, a 500 x 350 mm table and a work tank of 955 x 540 x 350 mm inside. GF Machining Solutions does not carry the FORM E 350 in its current AgieCharmilles lineup, and these figures have not been matched to a GF product page, so treat them as a guide for inspecting a used machine.
The listed equipment is generous for the size. A 4-position LTC (Linear Tool Changer) is included, and the C axis is listed as standard with full 360-degree rotation, so the machine can index or spin an electrode for helical and multi-sided work without an add-on head. The generator is an ISPG rated at 80A peak, and positioning resolution is 50 nm.
Workpieces can measure up to 800 x 500 x 265 mm and weigh up to 200 kg; electrodes up to 50 kg. The 200 kg part limit is low next to the tank size, so a large but heavy mould plate may fit the tank and still exceed the rating. The tank is filled from 270 liters of dielectric, and the best surface finish listed is Ra 0.1 µm.
Rapids are 4,000 mm/min on X and Y and 6,000 mm/min on Z, which governs the time spent retracting and repositioning between cavities. The footprint is 1,000 x 1,731 x 2,372 mm with a weight of 1,730 kg without dielectric, small enough for a crowded toolroom. The control is AC FORM HMI.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4-position LTC (Linear Tool Changer) listed as part of the machine
- C axis listed as standard with full 360-degree rotation
- ISPG generator at 80A peak with 50 nm positioning resolution
- Footprint of 1,000 x 1,731 x 2,372 mm and 1,730 kg without dielectric
- Best surface finish listed at Ra 0.1 µm
Limitations
- Workpiece weight is limited to 200 kg despite an 800 x 500 x 265 mm size limit
- 250 mm of Z travel restricts long electrodes over tall parts
- Only four electrode positions in the LTC for unattended runs
- No longer in GF's current lineup, and the listed figures have not been matched to a GF product page

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed table gives a C axis as standard, with full 360-degree rotation, and a 4-position LTC (Linear Tool Changer). On a used machine, confirm both are fitted and working, since the figures have not been matched to a GF product page.
02
Up to 800 x 500 x 265 mm and 200 kg, on a 500 x 350 mm table. Electrodes can weigh up to 50 kg. The weight limit is the tighter one: a steel plate filling the size limit would weigh far more than 200 kg.
03
Rapid traverse is listed at 4,000 mm/min on X and Y and 6,000 mm/min on Z. Positioning resolution is 50 nm. The faster Z rapid helps on jobs with many retract-and-flush cycles.
04
It is not in GF Machining Solutions' current AgieCharmilles die-sinking lineup. Buyers will be looking at used machines, so check the generator, control (AC FORM HMI) and the condition of the tank and changer before purchase.
