The EDGE3 does not share all the same capabilities as the more advanced EDAF3, but it is still loaded with a productive mix of technologies to support a wide variety of applications. The EDGE-Series machines make use of Makino’s latest IES (Intelligent Expert System) and SuperSpark4 technologies that consist of advanced adaptive power and jump controls. These adaptive technologies improve accuracy and cycle time by automatically stabilizing the EDM discharge process, and improved metallurgical quality and consistent surface finishes are produced with the help of the advanced SuperSurface and SuperEdge technologies. The array of features and capabilities that are afforded by the EDGE3 machinebring exceptional value and productivity to the Sink EDM process.
