EdmDrillTM CT400

CT400

Precision, CNC EDM Drilling Machine

The EdmDrill™ CT400 is a highly versatile and capable EDM drilling machine for tool room, job shop, and production applications. Available with a variety of options, the CT400 can be configured to tackle nearly any EDM drilling job. The CT400 can be built in 3, 4, or 5 axis configuration, and all axes are fully integrated, programmed, and controlled by superior Siemens CNC controllers. Siemens controllers are easy to program and fully compatible with most CAM software.

Please note that an additional 4th axis or tilt-rotary table can be added to the CT400 on your shop floor should the need arise. For long-running, unattended operation, look to Current EDM’s reliable Automatic Electrode Changer (AEC24). Time tested in around-the-clock operation, the AEC24 automatically changes up to 24 electrodes.
