Expanded Line of Large Sinker EDMs



EDNC10

EDNC15

EDNC20

Makino has announced an expansion to its lineup of EDNC-Series sinker EDM machines, the EDNC10, EDNC15 and EDNC20. Designed to provide a blend of power, speed and precision in large work envelopes, these EDNC sinker EDMs can accommodate massive, heavy workpieces while still producing delicate, fine features with accuracy and enhanced surface finish.

"The construction of the EDNC-Series enables the EDNC10, EDNC15 and EDNC20 to achieve the accuracy and surface finish levels found on smaller sinker EDM machines," said Brian Pfluger, Makino's EDM Product Line Manager.

"Many large-commodity sinker EDMs will see a significant performance drop-off in accuracy, surface finish and machine speed when compared to standard-size sinker EDM machines. The Makino EDNC-Series machines overcome these challenges with key technologies that achieve small-sinker EDM performance on a large-platform machine," Pfluger said.

Die and mold shops, aerospace and power-generation equipment manufacturers can benefit from the larger work sizes of these machines. Specifications are:

  • EDNC10:
    • Axis Travels (X, Y, Z): 39.4 x 23.6 x 19.7 in (1,000 x 600 x 500 mm)
    • Work Tank (W, D, H): 59.1 x 43.3 x 19.7 in (1,500 x 1,100 x 500 mm)
    • Max. Work Load: 6,614 lbs. (3,000 kg)
    • Max. Electrode Weight: 662 lbs. (300 kg)
  • EDNC15:
    • Axis Travels (X, Y, Z): 59.1 x 27.6 x 19.7 in (1,500 x 700 x 500 mm)
    • Work Tank (W, D, H): 98.4 x 55.1 x 31.5 in (2,500 x 1,400 x 800 mm)
    • Max. Work Load: 22,047 lbs (10,000 kg)
    • Max. Electrode Weight: 1,103 lbs (500 kg)
  • EDNC20:
    • Axis Travels (X, Y, Z): 78.7 x 27.6 x 23.6 in (2000 x 700 x 600 mm)
    • Work Tank (W, D, H): 110.2 x 63.0 x 41.3 in (2,800 x 1,600 x 1,050 mm)
    • Max. Work Load: 22,047 lbs. (10,000 kg)
    • Max. Electrode Weight: 1,654 lbs. (750 kg)

The EDNC10, EDNC15 and EDNC20 feature 60 amp (80 Peak amps) power supplies as standard, with 120 or 240 amp options available. The EDNC10 and EDNC15 machines are designed with a full three-sided programmable drop tank, providing ergonomic access for set-up and operation. The EDNC20 features a programmable rise and fall front door, which controls dielectric fluid level, and can be set to match the height of the workpiece while providing optimum viewing of the machining operation.

The design of the large EDNC machines also features:

  • High-mass castings to ensure mechanical and thermal stability
  • Stationary table for accurate positioning regardless of workpiece size or weight
  • Space-saving integrated reservoir in the base casting to reduce machine size
  • Dual-anchored direct-drive ballscrews that maintain precision long term.

"Makino's proprietary Hyper technologies included on the EDNC10, EDNC15 and EDNC20 help ensure the ideal mix of speed, surface finish and reduced electrode wear," said a company spokesperson.

HyperCut technology is a generator function that can increase power levels without requiring additional reduction on the electrode, and it improves roughing speeds by up to 30% without affecting workpiece accuracy or surface quality. The technology can minimize electrode wear while providing fast machining speed.

Each EDNC-Series machine is equipped with the Hyper-i control system, which is the same system used on Makino's wire EDM products. "Hyper-i improves productivity by streamlining and simplifying the machine interface so that operators of all skill levels can achieve efficient results," said the spokesperson. Its 24" high-definition monitor provides touch-screen technology similar to that of smartphones and tablets, enabling the use of pinch, swipe and spread movements to select machining conditions for workpiece, electrode material type and the desired shape and surface finish. The Hyper-i Control is enhanced with the integration of on-board digital manuals, intelligent E-Tech Doctor help functions and an e-Learning training system.

SuperSpark IV is an adaptive control technology that optimizes the machining discharge power and electrode jump motions during roughing and finishing operations. "This technology is especially effective on rib or drafted electrodes, and when combined with HyperCut settings, can reduce total machining time by up to 50%," said the spokesperson.

"All EDNC-Series sinker EDMs can be equipped with Makino's proprietary High-Quality Surface Finish (HQSF) technology that yields achievable surface finish capabilities 50% better than conventional surface finishes, regardless of discharge surface area," continued the spokesperson. The HQSF technology can extend tool life through improved surface integrity and can also reduce cycle time even when fine surface finishes are not required.

The HS-Rib Z-axis configuration can reduce rough machining speeds of small electrodes, such as plastic injection tooling ribs or pin gate details, and provide enhanced jump speeds of up to 20 m/min that can reduce machining times by up to 60%.
