Beaumont Machine, located in Southwest Ohio, is an American-owned manufacturer and distributor of distributor of multi-axis fast hole electrical discharge machining systems that meet and exceed industry standards in the aerospace, land-based power generation, and semiconductor fields. Features can include EDM milling, breakthrough technology, depth tracking, blind hole, and micropulse technology, to name a few. Beaumont Machine is truly the innovator of fast hole EDM.
Beaumont Machine was started by Ed Beaumont in 1990 in a modest 30’ x 50’ building in Southwestern Ohio.
Starting off as a machine repair company, by 1997 he was building his own small hole EDM machines. By 2002, he had developed a number of patented features to advance the capabilities of his machines and moved into a larger 21,000 square foot facility to increase production capacity
Ed Beaumont and Beaumont Machine continue to provide a wide range of top‑quality EDM machine models, consumables, and application solutions for specific EDM machining requirements.
We have built Electrical Discharge Machines in Southwest Ohio for over 20 years. We believe our machines set the standard for the industry. Here’s why.
Beaumont Machine is an OEM integrator for Siemens, Fanuc, and Fanuc Robotics.
Beaumont Machine EDMs can weigh 20,000 pounds or more. Such a heavy machine ensures rigidity and stability. Factors such as temperature change and part weight can cause the base of a machine to flex, resulting in lost accuracy. Having a very heavy and stable base helps avoid this problem.
We use 45mm linear ways for our X, Y, and Z-axis movement. With these larger ways, we can avoid almost all table sag. Sag occurs when moving the X-axis to the extreme negative or positive locations, which creates arc seconds of pitch. Our linear ways provide straightness, flatness, and smoothness to prevent stick-slip.
We use a granite table to help ensure the best surface for parts to be located. Our table is a tool room-grade granite surface with a 4 x 4 bolt pattern for universal tooling and clamping. Artifacts are built into the table for calibration. The granite also makes a great insulator.
Beaumont Machine uses absolute encoders on all locating axes. Absolute encoders help maintain location in the event of power loss.
Our B and C-axes are Troyke Rotary tables designed by Beaumont Machine. These tables use a Holroyd Gear System that prevents unloading and cogging and provides smooth motion and better accuracy.
Beaumont Machine uses our own Pneumatic guide clamping system, unique in design, which allows us to repeatedly hold unsurpassed accuracy.
Our machines are capable of axis movement up to 400 inches per minute, eliminating wasted time between holes. We believe drilling times should be measured from the beginning of one hole to the beginning of the next.
Beaumont’s power supply was developed with Land-Based Power Generation, Aerospace, and Semiconductor materials in mind. Our power supply contributes to increased drilling speed and decreased negative by-products such as micro-cracking and recast.
Offering:
• Up to 65 amps of continuous power in .5 increments
• Capacitance settings from .0 to 8.0, in 0.1 incremental settings
• Real-time ON and OFF settings that can be measured from 0 to 999 microseconds
• True spindle speed control using a servo motor capable of speeds from 1 – 3000 RPM
Beaumont Machine and Ebbco worked together to create a dielectric filtration system capable of handling the needs of our machines. Our 150-gallon unit filters water to a 5-micron level, maintains a programmed Micro Siemens level, provides a 100-psi auxiliary flush, and controls water temperature.
We not only supply the Fast Hole EDM- we also supply the entire solution:
• Fixture Design
• Training
• Part Programming
• Vision System Integration
Or Consumables:
• Carbide and Ceramic Guides
• Electrodes
• Stainless Steel Collets
