EA8PS Advance Sinker EDM
High-accuracy, high-grade Sinker EDM you can trust – for micro-fine finish, mold & die, or small-hole applications.
The EA8PS Advance can produce a variety of finishes while still maintaining the degree of quality and high-accuracy precision the world expects from Mitsubishi machines. The EA-PS series offers truly high-grade sinker EDM solutions that generate serious cost savings down the road—from hands-off, low-maintenance components that keep your shop floor humming to intuitive user-focused design that requires less learning, so you can spend more time doing.
BUILT TO PERFORM, BUILT TO LAST
- The Mitsubishi EA8PS Advance with Thermal Buster is the ideal choice for tight-tolerance applications such as die and mold.
- The new Thermal Displacement Compensation System and Z axis cooling mechanism improve accuracy by tracking and compensating for machine temperature changes.
EXTREME VERSATILITY & UTILITY
- The standard granite table and NP2 circuit provide ultra-fine, satin surface finishing anywhere on the table surface.
- An enhanced glossy mirror finishing circuit, LLTX “Lotus Leaf TeXture,” improves mold release without the need for polishing.
- If you work with exotic materials such as PCD, cBN, or carbide, the HPS circuit enhances machining speed while reducing electrode wear.
COST- AND USER-FRIENDLY
- The FP80PS energy-saving power supply reduces electrical consumption by 20% (compared to the previous FP model).
- Like most EDM machines, the EA8PS features the new Mitsubishi M700 series control with a 64-bit RISC processor and 15” touchscreen for easier user interface.

"The biggest thing for me with Mitsubishi EDMs is the accuracy is far superior to other machines I’ve used in the past. Putting a part in the machine, touching off the part, taking it out and it being the right size and location—it’s there all the time."
Adam Hall, Quality Tool & Die EDM operator Read case study -
"The quality and repeatability of Mitsubishi EDMs is second to none."
Aaron Wiegel, President of Wiegel Read case study -
"Overall, the machine itself is just reliable. Out of all the other manufacturers I’ve used over the years, working with Mitsubishi EDM has been one of my best experiences."
Danny Ritchie, head of Wire EDM Department at Dies Plus (a division of OTTO Engineering) Read case study -
"You don’t have to do anything but push a couple of buttons and it goes to mid points, center points–everything you want is right there on the pendant. It makes life simpler. This thing is touch off, write the program, hit the start button and the machine does it for you."
Daryl Bosco, Quality Tool & Die sinker EDM operator Read case study -
"When it comes to applications expertise, it’s a lot more difficult in any industrial OEM to find the breadth and depth that Mitsubishi EDM has."
Jeffrey Taylor, Crafts Technology President and General Manager Read case study -
"Tooling for high-speed stamping has some tight tolerances, but the Mitsubishi wire EDMs have no problems meeting those tolerances. To know what we’re getting out of those machines on a consistent basis is huge for us."
