Our best estimate for the Makino EDNC-8 is $280,000 - $380,000. 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-8#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
A standard version that supports workpieces up to 55.1” x 35.4” (1,400mm x 900mm) with a three-sided programmable rise-and-fall work tank, and a wide-tank version for parts up to 70.8” x 47.2” (1,800mm x 1,200mm) with a programmable rise-and-fall front door.
The EDNC-8 has 800 mm (31.5 in) of X against 650 mm (25.6 in), 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y against 450 mm (17.7 in), and a 1,100 x 700 mm (43.3 in x 27.6 in) table against 800 x 550 mm (31.5 in x 21.7 in) on the EDNC-6. Its workpiece rating is 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) against 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on the EDNC-6.
A high-speed Z-axis with jump motions up to 20 m/min at 1.5G acceleration. Liquid core cooling of the ballscrew maintains depth control, and Makino says the option can reduce machining times by up to 60 percent, giving the speed of smaller machines on this larger platform.
The table gives 60A ~ 240A. That reads as a range rather than one figure, so the quotation should state which generator is fitted. Makino pairs the generator with the HyperCut and SuperSpark IV technologies run from the Hyper-i control.
