Our best estimate for the Makino EDNC-6 is $200,000 - $280,000. 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-6#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The standard EDNC-6 uses a three-sided programmable rise-and-fall tank that positions below table level and takes workpieces up to 39” x 29” (1,000mm x 750mm). The wide-tank version takes parts up to 55” x 35” (1,400mm x 900mm) and uses a programmable rise-and-fall front door.
The EDNC-8 has 800 mm (31.5 in) of X, 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y and 400 mm (15.8 in) of Z with 500 mm (19.7 in) in brackets, over a 1,100 x 700 mm (43.3 in x 27.6 in) table. The EDNC-6 has 650 x 450 mm (25.6 x 17.7 in) of X and Y over an 800 x 550 mm (31.5 in x 21.7 in) table. Both list 16 or 32 tools and a 100 kg (220 lb) electrode limit.
It speeds up machining of small electrode details such as tooling ribs. It sustains jump motions of up to 20 m/min with 1.5G acceleration and has an integrated core-cooled ball screw. Makino says it can reduce machining times by up to 60 percent.
Makino lists the integrated ATC as available, not standard. It sits outside the work tank, so it takes no stroke or tank space, and the table lists 16 or 32 tools.
