Overview

The Makino EDFH-1 is a compact EDM machine from Makino's hole-drilling range, with 220 x 180 x 300 mm (8.7 x 7.1 x 11.8 in) of X, Y and Z travel over a 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in) table. It shares that table and its X and Y strokes with the EDAC1; the EDFH-1 has more Z, 300 mm (11.8 in) against 220 mm (8.66 in) on the EDAC1.

Makino's account of the machine is about holding precision over years of use. The construction includes alignment tolerances of 2 microns (0.00008”) or smaller over the full stroke of each axis. The work table is stationary, the dielectric reservoir is integrated into the base casting, and the heat of the electrical and generator cabinet is isolated from the machine structure.

The size limits are tight. Workpieces are rated at 50 kg (110 lb), and the work tank measures 450 x 350 x 200 mm (17.7 in x 13.8 in x 7.9 in), so its 200 mm (7.9 in) depth caps how tall a part can be while it is submerged. The tank is a programmable 3-sided rise-and-fall design, which opens three sides for loading. Tool capacities of 8 and 16 are listed.

The Hyper-i control uses a large high-definition 24” class touch screen and supports customization and remote monitoring options. It carries the E-Tech Doctor function and on-board machine manuals with integrated training videos. The table gives no rapid traverse, generator current or electrode weight, so ask Makino for those before setting the EDFH-1 against other small EDM machines.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Alignment tolerances of 2 microns (0.00008”) or smaller over the full stroke of each axis
300 mm (11.8 in) of Z on the same 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in) table as the EDAC1, which has 220 mm (8.66 in)
Stationary work table, dielectric reservoir in the base casting and generator heat isolated from the structure
Programmable 3-sided rise-and-fall work tank for loading access
Hyper-i control on a 24” class touch screen with E-Tech Doctor and on-board manuals with training videos

Limitations

Workpieces are limited to 50 kg (110 lb)
The work tank is 200 mm (7.9 in) deep, which limits part height
X and Y travels of 220 mm (8.7 in) and 180 mm (7.1 in) suit small parts only
The table lists no rapid traverse, generator current or electrode weight

Best For

Small precision parts within 220 x 180 mm (8.7 x 7.1 in) of X and Y travel Features that need 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z on a small table Workpieces up to 50 kg (110 lb) Work that depends on axis alignment held to 2 microns (0.00008”) or smaller

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the EDFH-1 compare with the EDAC1?

Both have a 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in) table with 220 mm of X and 180 mm of Y. The difference is Z: 300 mm (11.8 in) on the EDFH-1 against 220 mm (8.66 in) on the EDAC1. Choose the EDFH-1 when the electrode or the part needs the extra vertical stroke.

02 What size and weight of part fits the EDFH-1?

Workpieces up to 50 kg (110 lb). The work tank is 450 x 350 x 200 mm (17.7 in x 13.8 in x 7.9 in) and the table 350 x 250 mm (13.8 in x 9.8 in), so the 200 mm (7.9 in) tank depth is usually the first limit on a tall part.

03 What precision is built into the EDFH-1?

Makino states alignment tolerances of 2 microns (0.00008”) or smaller over the full stroke of each axis. The design also isolates heat from the electrical and generator cabinet, integrates the dielectric reservoir into the base casting and uses a stationary work table.

04 How many tools does the EDFH-1 hold?

The table lists tool capacities of 8 and 16. It does not say which is standard, and Makino's description of the machine does not cover the changer, so confirm the size on the quotation.

05 What control does the EDFH-1 use?

Makino's Hyper-i control on a large high-definition 24” class touch screen. It includes the E-Tech Doctor function and on-board machine manuals with integrated training videos, and supports customization and remote monitoring options.
