Our best estimate for the Makino EDGE2i is $120,000 - $180,000. 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-edge-2i#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
40A as standard, with an 80A option. The SuperSurface and SuperEdge generator technologies aim at a uniform finish free from pin holes or pitting, and SuperSpark4 with IES adapts power and jump control to keep the process stable and electrode wear low.
Makino configures it for unattended operation. An integrated Flame Sensor and Fire Suppression system is standard, a dielectric chiller unit is standard on the EDGEi-Series, and the automatic tool changer sits under the X and Y axes, out of the work zone.
Size. The EDGE2i has 300 x 250 x 250 mm (11.8 x 9.8 x 9.8 in) of travel and a 500 x 350 mm (19.7 in x 13.8 in) table. The EDGE3i has 450 x 300 x 320 mm (17.7 x 11.8 x 12.6 in) of travel and a 600 x 450 mm (23.6 in x 17.7 in) table. Both list a 5,000 mm/min (197 ipm) rapid traverse.
650 x 450 x 300 mm (25.6 in x 17.7 in x 11.8 in). It is a 4-sided programmable rise-and-fall tank, which opens the work zone on every side for loading, and the table also lists a drop tank. The work table itself is stationary.
Workpieces up to 500 kg (1,100 lb) and electrodes up to 50 kg (110 lb). The table is 500 x 350 mm (19.7 in x 13.8 in), so check the fixture footprint as well as the weight.
