Our best estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class — not a quote from Makino. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Makino EDNC65 is a sinker EDM listed with 650 x 450 x 450 mm (25.6 x 17.7 x 17.7 in) of travel, a 990 x 720 x 500 mm (39.0 x 28.3 x 19.7 in) work tank and a 2,500 kg (5,511 lb) workpiece limit. Makino does not list it in its current lineup, and it may be an older model. The figures here could not be matched to a Makino source.

The current EDNC-6 has the same 650 mm (25.6 in) of X and 450 mm (17.7 in) of Y, which makes it the obvious comparison for anyone weighing a used EDNC65 against a new machine. The EDNC-6 has 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z with 500 mm (19.7 in) in brackets and an 800 x 550 mm (31.5 in x 21.7 in) table. No table size is listed for the EDNC65.

The other rows describe the machine as it was listed: a generator named the Makino HyperI digital generator, with up to 80 A peak current; a filtered petroleum-based dielectric with temperature control; electrodes up to 150 kg (331 lb); and a machine weight of 6,800 kg (14,991 lb). The control is given as Makino Hyper Pro Control, a touchscreen CNC. Read the control and generator plates on the machine, since these names could not be confirmed.

Performance rows are listed too: positioning accuracy 2 um, repeatability 1 um, a surface finish of VDI 2 (Ra 0.1 um) and 600 mm³/min of metal removal in graphite roughing. On a used machine these depend on condition as much as on the original build, so ask for a recent accuracy check and a test cut before relying on any of them.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed 2,500 kg (5,511 lb) workpiece limit within a 990 x 720 x 500 mm (39.0 x 28.3 x 19.7 in) tank
Listed 450 mm (17.7 in) of Z, against 350 mm (13.8 in) on the current EDNC-6
Listed electrode limit of 150 kg (331 lb)
Listed temperature-controlled, filtered petroleum-based dielectric system

Limitations

Not in Makino's current lineup, and the listed figures could not be matched to a Makino source
The generator is listed at up to 80 A peak, which limits the roughing rate on large electrodes
No table size, rapid traverse or tool changer figures are listed
The listed machine weight of 6,800 kg (14,991 lb) needs a suitable floor and rigging

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the EDNC65 still made?

It is not in Makino's current lineup and may be an older model. The figures on this page could not be matched to a Makino source, so check the travels, generator and control on the machine itself.

02 How does the EDNC65 compare with the EDNC-6?

The EDNC-6, which Makino currently offers, has 650 mm (25.6 in) of X, 450 mm (17.7 in) of Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z with 500 mm (19.7 in) in brackets, over an 800 x 550 mm (31.5 in x 21.7 in) table. The EDNC65 is listed with the same X and Y and 450 mm (17.7 in) of Z.

03 What accuracy is listed for the EDNC65?

The listed figures give positioning accuracy of 2 um and repeatability of 1 um, with a surface finish of VDI 2 (Ra 0.1 um). They could not be confirmed, and a used machine's accuracy depends on its condition, so ask for a recent check.

04 What dielectric does the EDNC65 use?

The listed figures give a filtered petroleum-based dielectric with temperature control. On a used machine, check the filter system, the cooling unit and the condition of the fluid, and plan fire precautions suited to an oil dielectric.
