Our best estimate for the Makino EDNC-15 is $450,000 - $600,000. 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-ednc-15#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The table lists Z as 500 mm (19.7 in) with 800 mm (31.5 in) in brackets but does not label the second figure. Makino's description gives 31.5” (800mm) of travel for the optional HS-Rib high-speed Z-axis, so the larger stroke most likely comes with that option. Ask for it in writing.
The EDNC-17 has 1,700 mm (66.9 in) of X, 1,150 mm (45.3 in) of Y and a 2,000 x 1,350 mm (78.7 in x 53.2 in) table, against 1,500 mm (59.0 in), 700 mm (27.6 in) and 2,000 x 1,000 mm (78.7 in x 39.4 in) on the EDNC-15. Both are rated for 10,000 kg (22,046 lb).
Its 4-sided programmable rise-and-fall work tank gives open access to the work zone and, in Makino's description, greatly simplifies the requirements and integration of robot automation. ATC options sit outside the tank with 8, 16 or 32 tools, so electrode changes do not limit the stroke.
The table is 2,000 x 1,000 mm (78.7 in x 39.4 in) and the tank 2,500 x 1,400 x 800 mm (98.4 in x 55.1 in x 31.5 in), with a 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) weight rating. Travels of 1,500 x 700 mm (59.0 x 27.6 in) set how much of that area the electrode can reach.
