Our best estimate for the Makino EDAF2 is $100,000 - $155,000. This is an estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class, not a quote from Makino; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/makino-edaf2#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The table is 550 × 350 mm (21.65 in x 13.78 in) and the work tank 700 x 500 x 300 mm (27.5 in x 19.7 x 11.8 in). Workpieces can weigh up to 500 kgs (1,100 lb). An optional 50mm (2.0") or 100mm (4.0") table-down configuration adds tank depth for taller parts.
Makino says the stationary table and rise-and-fall tank simplify the integration of an ATC and automation systems to extend unmanned operation. A built-in fire extinguishing system and a U/V flame sensor that monitors the process are standard.
The dielectric reservoir is integrated into the base casting, which improves thermal stability, and the Y-axis and Z-axis structures have active liquid cooling to keep the whole machine at a stable temperature.
Makino's generator and adaptive power control are paired with dedicated settings such as HyperCut, SuperSpark™ IV and ArcFree, which give the operator options for a wide variety of work. The control is Makino's Hyper-i.
The EDAF3 is larger, with 450 mm (17.7 in) of X, 351 mm (13.8 in) of Y and Z and a 700×500 (27.5 in x 19.7 in) table. The EDAF2 has 350 mm (13.78 in) of X, 250 mm (9.8 in) of Y and Z and a 550 × 350 mm (21.65 in x 13.78 in) table.
