TEK4 FHD (Fast Hole Drill) edm systems are so of the most advanced EDM machines on the market. With world leading features and great flexibility, our Fast hole drill machines are prefect for drilling cooling holes into aero blades, IGT blades, vanes, segments and other components. Our EDM systems come in three different sizes, 6g FHD Aero a small compact machine allowing for paint to paint placement, 6g FHD ST machine which is our medium sized cross over machine, giving you the ability to drill medium sized aero/IGT components and finally the 6g FHD XLL / GXL edm machine which is our largest machine and is designed for drilling and laser ablation on large gas turbine components, the machine's configuration enables larger then expected components to be machined in a single setup.
TEK4 is a world leader is design, manufacture and technology on EDM hole drilling machines. With over 40 years of experience in this industry, TEK4 is able to offer the most advanced EDM hole drilling machines available for drilling straight, shaped cooling holes into aero and IGT blades, vanes and other components. TEK4 offers EDM hole drilling machines currently in 4 different sizes, Aero, ST, XLL, GXL so no matter the size of your component TEK4 has a edm hole drilling machine for it. EDM hole drilling is what TEK4 specialise in with a team of over 30, we will be able to get the best out of your project.
