{"id":"makino-edge2i","model_id":"EDGE2i","name":"Makino EDGE2i","summary":"The EDGE2i is a sinker (die-sinking) electrical discharge machine with a stationary work table, a dielectric reservoir cast into the base, and a four-sided programmable rise-and-fall work tank. SuperSpark4 and IES adaptive power and jump control stabilise the EDM process and limit electrode wear, while SuperSurface and SuperEdge generators address surface finish and metallurgical quality. An integrated automatic tool changer beneath the X and Y axes supports unattended operation, and the machine runs on Makino's Hyper-i Control with a 24-inch HD touch screen.","study_notes":["Control interface is Makino Hyper-i Control with a 24-inch wide HD touch screen and a Handbox with LED display and emergency stop button.","ATC capacity is listed as 4, 8 or 16 positions depending on configuration.","Maximum electrode weight is 50 kg (110 lbs).","Maximum available amperage is 40 A, with an 80 A option.","Dielectric tank size is 650 x 450 x 300 mm; a drop tank is fitted.","Rapid traverse is also stated as 197 ipm, equivalent to the 5,000 mm/min metric value.","The dielectric reservoir is built into the base casting and a dielectric chiller unit is standard.","The ATC is integrated into the machine structure beneath the X and Y axes.","Generator technologies named are SuperSpark4, IES (Intelligent Expert System), SuperSurface and SuperEdge."],"safety_notes":["Equipped as standard with an integrated flame sensor and fire suppression system for unattended operation.","Handbox includes an emergency stop button."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.makino.com/en-us/machine-technology/machines/sinker-edm/edge2i","title":"EDGE2i","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":8,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_edm","manufacturer":"makino","controllers":[],"travel_x_mm":300,"travel_y_mm":250,"travel_z_mm":250,"rapid_traverse_m_min":5,"table_length_mm":500,"table_width_mm":350,"table_load_kg":500,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/makino-edge2i","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
