Sinker EDM
CNC EDM Die Sinker Machines
High-accuracy EDM die sinking systems engineered for complex cavity machining, intelligent process control, and production-level throughput.
Absolute Machine Tools offers a complete range of CNC EDM die sinkers designed for precision mold making, multi-cavity tooling, and advanced component manufacturing across aerospace, medical, and industrial applications. From multi-axis platforms to conversational CNC systems and twin-head configurations, these machines are built to match specific part geometries, machining strategies, and production requirements.
Across the lineup, a key advantage is the integration of modern CNC controls and real-time process intelligence, including APC adaptive spark control, advanced orbit strategies, and high-speed EtherCAT communication. These technologies allow operators to monitor spark conditions, automatically adjust machining parameters, and maintain stable burn performance — resulting in improved surface finish, faster cycle times, and consistent results across complex geometries. Absolute Machine Tools delivers these capabilities in a platform that provides exceptional value compared to traditional high-end EDM systems, without sacrificing accuracy, surface finish, or performance.
Benefits for Metal Cutting Manufacturers
Solutions from Absolute Machine Tools
EX Series CNC EDM Die Sinkers
Tackle Complex Cavities. The EX Series gives moldmakers and precision shops axis capability a standard die sinker can’t match — full CNC control across X, Y, Z, and C, with helical machining and XYZC interpolation working together on a single cavity. That matters most on multi-cavity molds and aerospace-grade tooling, where undercuts, deep ribs, and compound-angle surfaces need to be burned in one setup instead of repositioned and re-registered by hand. For shops moving into genuinely complex cavity work, this is the series built to make that jump.
NX Series CNC EDM Die Sinkers
Designed with Mold Shops in Mind. The NX Series is Absolute’s current CNC die sinker line, replacing the earlier ZNC series with conversational programming that doesn’t require a dedicated CAM programmer to run day to day. Automatic Parameter Control adjusts spark settings in real time as burn conditions change, and multi-axis orbiting is built into the machine itself — no separate orbiting head to buy, mount, or maintain. An optional automatic electrode changer extends that further for longer, less-attended jobs. The NX Series offers full-size-range CNC capability at an economical price — real CNC control for mold shops that don’t need the EX Series’ higher axis count or price point.
Twin & Single-Head (EX 2H / NX 2H) EDM Die Sinkers
The twin-head configuration runs two rams on one machine, burning two cavities — or two sides of the same mold — simultaneously instead of sequentially, for shops that need higher throughput without adding machines. Paired with automation-ready configurations, that’s one setup cycle instead of two for large-format or higher-volume production.
CNC Control, Process Intelligence & Performance Technology
AccuteX EDM die sinkers are built around a Windows 10-based CNC control system (64-bit industrial PC with i3 processor or higher), providing a high-performance, user-friendly interface for programming and real-time process monitoring.

APC (Adaptable Parameter Control) is standard across the lineup and continuously monitors spark conditions during machining. The system stabilizes burn conditions during initial ignition to prevent arcing, then increases power to maximize cutting speed. APC also detects “bad spark” frequencies and dynamically adjusts parameters to eliminate DC arcs while protecting workpieces and electrodes from carbon buildup.
Additional technologies include EtherCAT communication for high-speed, real-time machine response and OB Smart Path orbit strategies, delivering up to 200% faster processing speeds with improved dimensional accuracy.’
