The performance of the EDNC6 is unmatched with its power and flexibility using the intuitive Hyper-i control system that makes effective use of Makino’s advanced HyperCut and SuperSpark™ IV technologies. Hyper-i uses a wide hi-definition touch screen with a graphical interface that improves machine productivity by intelligently streamlining operations so that operators at all skill levels can achieve the most efficient results. The capability and ease of operation of the Hyper-i control is further enhanced with integrated on-board digital manuals, intelligent E-Tech Doctor help functions and e-learning training system that can be quickly accessed for operator convenience. The Hyper-i control contains many useful functions that assist the operator with programming and operation and ensure the selection of the most productive and efficient process.     

The EDNC6 is also available with optional features that further enhance productivity. An available integrated ATC (automatic tool changer) system sits external to the work tank, which allows full utilization of the entire machine stroke and work tank without any process limitations. The HS-Rib Z-axis configuration reduces rough machining speeds of small-size electrode details like tooling ribs and provides sustained high-speed jump motions of up to 20m/min with 1.5G acceleration with an integrated core-cooled ball screw. The achieved performance of the HS-Rib can reduce machining times by up to 60 percent and deliver the same high-speed and high-accuracy machining capabilities found on smaller machines on a larger platform.
