Makino EDNC8

The EDNC8 provides larger axis strokes and additional work tank capacity over the EDNC6 with identical precision construction attributes of a stationary work table and space-savings design that integrates the di-electric reservoir into the base casting the machine. The user-friendly graphical nature of the Hyper-i control system intelligently streamlines operations to achieve the most efficient results regardless of operator skill level and supports the operator’s needs through the integrated EDM Assist (on-board digital manuals and training system) and advanced E-Tech Doctor help functions. The EDNC8 can be configured with additional options that impact performance, such as the high speed HS-Rib Z-axis that provides jump motions up to 20m/min with 1.5G acceleration for fast rough machining operations with low electrode wear. The standard EDNC8 supports workpiece sizes up to 55.1” x 35.4” (1,400mm x 900mm) with a 3-sided programmable rise–and-fall work tank, while an available W ide Tank configuration accommodates larger parts up to 70.8” x 47.2” (1,800mm x 1,200mm) and uses a programmable rise-and-fall front door.
