Summary

The Makino EDNC17 is a large-format sinker EDM designed for precision electrical discharge machining of large or heavy workpieces. Its core function is non-contact material removal using controlled electrical discharges between an electrode and a conductive workpiece, with application flexibility for deep cavities and fine detail, such as die/mold rib features. Unique features include high-speed Z-axis motion with closed-loop thermal stabilization, programmable four-sided work tank for access and part handling, and advanced control systems for optimized machining and user experience.

Key Capabilities

• Stationary worktable supports workpieces up to 10,000 kg and 2,500 x 1,600 mm
• Programmable 4-sided rise & fall tank simplifies large-part handling and automation
• High-speed Z-axis (HS-Rib) enabling up to 20 m/min jump speed and 1.0G acceleration
• Core-cooled Z-axis ball screw with closed-loop chiller for depth control accuracy
• Multiple external ATC configurations (8, 16, or 32 tools) for extended unattended operation
• Integrated dielectric reservoir for compact footprint and thermal stability
