Summary

The Makino EDGE3i is a CNC sinker electrical discharge machining (EDM) system designed for precision cavity and die/mold work. Its core function is erosion-based material removal using adaptive spark generator technologies, enabling fine surface finishes and minimized electrode wear. Differentiating characteristics include the Hyper-i touchscreen control, integrated dielectric and ATC systems, and advanced adaptive power management for process stability.

Key Capabilities

• EDM erosion with stationary table and programmable 4-sided rise/fall work tank
• Supports automatic tool changing with internal ATC (capacities: 5, 8, or 16)
• Adaptive power and jump control with SuperSpark4 for optimized accuracy and cycle time
• Integrated dielectric chiller and reservoir for thermal stability
• Hyper-i 24" HD touchscreen interface with interactive tutorials and process support
