Description
The K3HS is a high speed small hole driller EDM machine that drills difficult to cut carbide and heat treated workpieces. The K3HS is often used as a production machine to EDM start holes in die plates and is sometimes combined with an auxiliary axis to index or rotate a workpiece. Utilizing Sodick’s 7 Core Technologies, the K3HS can increase machining speeds by up to 200%.

With the new submerged model of the K3HS, operators have more flexibility than ever before. Unsubmerged machining is still possible on the submerged model for faster setups and easier accessibility, but operators now have the choice to machine submerged, offering better flushing, finer surface finishes, and enhanced accuracy
The K Series features energy-saving designs and technologies. Compared to conventional Hole Drillers, the K3HS can reduce average energy consumption by up to 60%, decreasing operating costs and contributing to sustainable manufacturing.
LN Assist comes standard on all K3HS small hole EDMs, offering a simplified graphics interface for easy operation. With capability for automatic calculations and macro functions, operators can manage complex cutting layouts and create their own programs regardless of skill level. Once setup is complete, the assist software can position cutting locations and coordinate settings.
Standard on the K3HS, Sodick’s automatic electrode feeder enables continuous cutting with multiple electrodes for unattended machining. The Sodick AEF is capable of handling electrodes between 0.02” and 0.12” in diameter, with variable capacity, up to 40 electrodes at ø0.02”
We offer the K3HS in three different heights and sizes to fit perfectly into your floor plan.
