{"id":"makino-edge3i","model_id":"EDGE3i","name":"Makino EDGE3i","summary":"The Makino EDGE3i is a sinker EDM machine with a 600 x 450 mm stationary work table and X, Y, and Z travels of 450 mm, 300 mm, and 320 mm. It uses the Hyper-i control with a 24-inch HD touch screen and integrates the dielectric reservoir and automatic tool changer into the machine base. It uses EDM generator and adaptive control technologies to support repeatable precision and unattended operation.","study_notes":["Hyper-i control uses a 24-inch HD touch-screen display.","The work table is stationary.","The work tank has four programmable sides with rise and fall function.","The dielectric reservoir is integrated into the base casting; a dielectric chiller is standard.","The automatic tool changer is integrated inside the machine beneath the X/Y structure.","ATC capacities available are 5, 8, and 16 positions.","Tank size is 800 x 550 x 350 mm; a drop tank is included.","Maximum electrode weight is 50 kg; maximum available amperage is 80 A.","Hyper-i includes E-Tech Doctor, instructional videos, and a Project step-by-step tutorial mode.","The Handbox has an LED display and an Emergency Stop button.","SuperSurface and SuperEdge generator technologies are used for surface finish.","IES and SuperSpark4 provide adaptive power and jump control."],"safety_notes":["The Handbox includes an Emergency Stop button."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.makino.com/en-us/machine-technology/machines/sinker-edm/edge3i","title":"EDGE3i","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":450,"travel_y_mm":300,"travel_z_mm":320,"rapid_traverse_m_min":5,"table_length_mm":600,"table_width_mm":450,"table_load_kg":800,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/makino-edge3i","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
