The AGEMA drilling erosion machine is available in two sizes, which primarily differ in their travel range and electrode stroke. For even greater flexibility, the AG430 can optionally be equipped with a larger electrode and guide changer. The generator, software, and operating concept are identical for both models.
a high-performance generator that meets all demands
precision and performance
The heart of our EDM drilling machine is the newly developed pulse generator. It embodies over 30 years of company expertise with state-of-the-art power electronics, setting new standards in precision, speed, and efficiency for EDM drilling.
supreme drilling performance
With up to 12 mm/min in carbide and 40 mm/min in steel, our machines stand out with above-average performance. Naturally, the proven AGEMA quality takes top priority. This means high productivity with maximum precision drilling quality – in record time.
cylindrical drilling
With the innovative AGEMA generator technology, electrode wear is precisely controlled, ensuring that bores are almost perfectly cylindrical using just a single electrode.
minimal electrode wear
Every single discharge is precisely controlled, ensuring that each discharge delivers the same amount of energy. This minimizes electrode wear and improves surface roughness.
outstanding surface quality
Compared to EDM machines with water-based dielectric, the gentle energy input significantly reduces microcracks and thermal damage in the bore, substantially lowering the failure probability of components.
energy efficiency
The state-of-the-art and efficient circuit design of the generator, an intelligent standby mode when not in use, and an innovative high-pressure system significantly reduce energy consumption. This substantially decreases the waste heat released into the dielectric and the environment.
permanent productivity
In the event of a generator failure, it can be directly replaced with a new generator on-site. This ensures minimal machine downtime, as there are no complex maintenance tasks required on the machine. In other words: you keep producing at your site, while we handle repairs at ours.
a clamping system for multiple purposes
EDM drilling and sinking with only one system
quick change system
With the new pneumatic quill, electrodes can be exchanged within seconds—either manually or automatically via an electrode changer. The zero-point clamping system uses Erowa Compact as its interface, making it ideal for both EDM drilling and EDM sinking
thread sinking
The clamping system enables rapid changes between different electrode holders, including a variant for threaded electrodes. This allows thread geometries to be sunk into extremely hard materials by radially deflecting the threaded electrode within a borehole. As a result, precise threads can be created in materials where conventional thread cutting would be impossible.
sinking micro geometries
The EDM machine is specifically optimized for hole-drilling EDM but can also be used for sinker EDM applications. Thanks to its innovative generator design, the Erowa electrode quick-change system, a manually adjustable C-axis, and versatile flushing options (standard, pulse, and suction flushing), it is also well-suited for sinker EDM tasks such as thread creation, embossing contours, and cavity machining.
automated electrode replacement
Automation of processes for lights-out manufacturing
6/8/40 electrode replacing system
Thanks to our automated electrode changer, complex drilling patterns can be eroded in less time without the need for manual electrode replacement. This increases productivity and ensures process stability by minimizing manual operations.
Intermediate electrode guidance for increased precision
for the drilling of holes with high aspect ratios
perfect electrode trajectory
A second guide holder is installed on its own independent axis to increase process stability, guiding precision, and thereby drilling performance—especially when drilling very deep holes.
A rotary and swivel axis for every machining angle
Full rotational and tilting motion for maximum flexibility in machining operations
5-axis machining
The indexing head expands our EDM drilling machine by one or two additional axes. Thanks to ITS’s high-precision multi-axis technology, cooling and venting holes, for example, can be precisely placed into complex part geometries at very shallow angles.
A versatile control system tailored to different user needs
Touch. Tactile. Intuitive. Interactive on all levels.
22" touch display with mouse and keyboard
The Windows-based control system impresses with its ease of use and seamless integration into company networks. Remote maintenance ensures immediate support. The completely redesigned, intuitive HMI allows for easy operation via touchscreen or, alternatively, with a mouse and keyboard—and is optimally complemented by the AGEMA handheld control device.
