The Makino U53j Wire EDM machine is a high-precision CNC wire electrical discharge machining center designed for demanding applications in mold making, tooling, and medical component manufacturing. Featuring a stationary worktable construction, the U53j delivers exceptional accuracy and repeatability by eliminating dielectric weight shift associated with moving table designs. The machine offers an X-axis travel of 21.6 inches (550 mm), Y-axis travel of 14.6 inches (370 mm), and Z-axis travel of 8.7 inches (220 mm), enabling the processing of larger workpieces with sustained precision. Its integrated dielectric reservoir and thermally stable structure maintain consistent operating temperatures, minimizing thermal distortion and ensuring long-term accuracy. The U53j supports a range of wire diameters, including options down to 0.002 inches (50 µm), and achieves surface finishes as fine as 0.08 µmRa (34 µinRa) with the Crystal Circuit technology. Advanced axis alignment and high-tolerance assembly deliver straightness accuracy of 3 µm (0.0001”) and squareness/parallelism of 4 µm (0.00015”), guaranteeing reliable performance. The machine is equipped with a programmable 3-sided rise-and-fall work tank for ergonomic access and efficient automation integration. Its Hyper-i CNC control features an intuitive graphical interface with a 24-inch touch screen, simplifying operation and enhancing productivity. The U53j is ideal for high-accuracy applications requiring fine surface finishes and complex geometries, making it a top choice for industries where precision and consistency are paramount.
