How much does the GF Machining AgieCharmilles FORM E 600 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 E 600 is a mid-size die-sinking EDM with 600 x 400 x 400 mm of X, Y and Z travel, a 750 L dielectric tank and room for workpieces up to 1000 x 700 x 400 mm and 1,000 kg. GF Machining Solutions no longer shows it in the current AgieCharmilles lineup, so it is mostly found used; the figures here are the listed ones and have not been matched to a GF product page.
The table to chuck distance runs 190-590 mm and the bath level 150-450 mm. That combination matters for deep mould cavities: a part can sit low in the tank with a long electrode above it and still be fully submerged. The electrode limit is 100 kg, enough for large graphite or copper electrodes on a core or cavity half.
Set against the current AgieCharmilles FORM X 600, which has the same 600 mm X and 400 mm Y but 500 mm of Z, the E 600 has the shorter vertical stroke. The FORM P 600 sits between them with 450 mm of Z. For a used FORM E 600, check that the job's electrode length plus part height fits the 400 mm Z before anything else.
The machine weighs 4,400 kg and measures 1600 x 2700 x 2858 mm, so it needs a solid floor and clear height above the 2858 mm cabinet for work on the head. Best surface finish is listed at 0.1 µm Ra, and the control is AC FORM CNC.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 600 x 400 x 400 mm travels with a 190-590 mm table to chuck distance
- Takes workpieces up to 1000 x 700 x 400 mm and 1,000 kg
- 100 kg electrode capacity for large graphite or copper electrodes
- 750 L tank with a 150-450 mm bath level for deeply submerged parts
- Best surface finish listed at 0.1 µm Ra
Limitations
- Not in GF's current AgieCharmilles lineup; parts and support should be checked before buying used
- 400 mm of Z, against 500 mm on the AgieCharmilles FORM X 600 with the same X and Y
- 4,400 kg and 2858 mm high, so floor loading and ceiling height need checking
- The listed figures have not been matched to a GF product page

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. GF Machining Solutions does not list it in the current AgieCharmilles die-sinking lineup. The figures on this page are the listed ones and have not been checked against a GF product page, so confirm them on the machine you are looking at.
02
The listed maximum workpiece is 1000 x 700 x 400 mm and 1,000 kg. The travels are 600 x 400 x 400 mm, so a part larger than the travel can be loaded but only the area within reach of the head can be machined in one setup.
03
The AgieCharmilles FORM X 600 has the same 600 mm of X and 400 mm of Y, but 500 mm of Z against 400 mm on the FORM E 600. The FORM X 600 is a current model; the E 600 is an older one.
04
The machine measures 1600 x 2700 x 2858 mm and weighs 4,400 kg. The dielectric tank holds 750 L. Plan floor loading, crane access for the head and enough height above the 2858 mm machine for maintenance.
