The EDNC43S Ram EDM machine incorporates a number of popular technological advancements all into one affordable package, including HQSF™, Super Spark™, single-page programming and carbide machining circuitry technology all within the popular MGH controller and optional EDCAM Professional™ offline programming software.
The MGH controller includes a touch screen operation, Ethernet interface capability and single-page programming to assist both the experienced and the novice craftsman. Super Spark™ and Super Spark II™ software can respectively cut roughing and finishing time by a combined 60 percent.
The Makino machine also comes with the popular HQSF™ high-quality surface finish technology to achieve a superior finish without a loss in metal removal rates. The EDNC43S comes with a special carbide machining circuitry package that can reduce the burning of hard alloys by up to 60 percent. A 16-station tool changer and an MRC-axis for indexing and rotation capabilities are also standard.
The machine bed is a heavily ribbed, single piece casting. Anti-friction linear guides and bearings complete the high-performance design, combining excellent rigidity with low-mass dynamics. The "Drop Tank" design pioneered by Makino makes for easier set-ups and more versatile operation. Machine precision and response is superior when compared to machines that move the table and dielectric fluid.
