The EDFH-1 is built with reliable long-term mechanical precision in mind, as the machine construction includes alignment tolerances of 2 microns (0.00008”) or smaller over the full stroke of each axis.  The design of the EDFH-1 includes many elements to enhance thermal stability, such as isolating the heat from the electrical/generator cabinet from the machine structure and integrating the di-electric reservoir into the base casting, which also minimizes the machine’s footprint.  The EDFH-1 utilizes a stationary work table design to further elevate precision, and excellent work tank access and operational ergonomics are provided by the programmable 3-Sided rise and fall work tank system.
 
Makino’s revolutionary Hyper-i control harnesses all of the advanced capabilities of the EDFH-1 into an efficient and user-friendly interface.  The intuitive and streamlined layout of the Hyper-i control addresses the operator's needs and includes practical and useful tools that empower advanced operations, such as the E-Tech Doctor function.  A large high-definition 24” class touch screen provides a commanding view over machine operation and supports easy customization and remote monitoring options for operator preferences. The Hyper-i control also includes on-board machine manuals with integrated training videos, delivering a new level of operating efficiency to the shop floor with a focus on optimal machine performance.
