The EDGE3 machine provides open and unrestricted access for the operator to the work zone with a 4-sided programmable rise and fall work tank, and achieves reliable and repeatable precision through a stationary work table design. 
 

The foot print of the EDGE3 is dramatically reduced by integrating the di-electric reservoir into the base casting of the machine, eliminating the need for external holding tanks, and this design enhances thermal stability coupled with the standard di-electric chiller unit.  Floor space requirements are further reduced by the integral design of the ATC (Automatic Tool Change) system, which is located beneath the X/Y machine structure, providing greater process efficiency and unattended operation.
 
The Windows-based MGH-6 control system provides user-friendly machine operation, and utilizes a 15” touch screen display.  The needs of the operator are a main focus of the MPG (Makino Program Generator) control function, which simplifies machine programming using a conversational interface with a friendly top-down flow.  The EDGE3 is configured for safe and reliable operation, and is equipped with a Flame Sensor, Fire Suppression system, and an advanced Handbox with an LED display and Emergency Stop button.
