How much does the Sodick K3HS cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class — not a quote from Sodick. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Sodick K3HS is a drilling EDM with a deep working area: 300 mm of X, 400 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z travel over a 480 × 790 mm table, carrying workpieces up to 300 kg. Sodick lists it among its drilling machines.
Y is the long axis here. The 790 mm table depth runs front to back, so a plate can be loaded with its long side toward the operator's line of sight and drilled over 400 mm of Y without resetting. The K3BL has the same 300 mm of X and Z but 200 mm of Y and a 600 × 300 mm table, which suits long parts laid across the machine instead.
The K3HS is also lower than the K3BL, at 2,150 mm against 2,360 mm, on a footprint of 1,495 × 1,290 mm. Sodick's table gives no electrode diameter range, drilling speed or generator details, so ask for them against the holes you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The K3BL has 300 mm of X, 200 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z on a 600 × 300 mm table. The K3HS doubles the Y stroke to 400 mm on a 480 × 790 mm table with the same X, Z and 300 kg workpiece limit, and is lower at 2,150 mm.
02
The table is 480 × 790 mm and the workpiece limit is 300 kg. Holes can be reached within 300 mm of X and 400 mm of Y, with 300 mm of Z for the electrode and part height.
03
The K4HL travels 400 mm in X, 300 mm in Y and 500 mm in Z on a 750 × 650 mm table. The K3HS has more Y at 400 mm but less X and Z, on a 480 × 790 mm table.
