The MAKINO U6 H.E.A.T Wire EDM Machine is a high-precision Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) system designed for complex and heavy workpieces with maximum dimensions of 39.4 x 31.5 x 15.7 inches and a weight capacity up to 3,306 lbs. It features automatic threading and a submerged cutting process, enhancing efficiency and reducing wire breakage. The machine supports taper cutting with a maximum angle of 15 degrees and a taper height of 3.94 inches, providing versatile machining capabilities. The U-V axis offers ±3 inches travel for fine positioning and complex geometry handling. The control system is powered by Makino’s advanced Hyper-i interface, which integrates a user-friendly 24-inch high-definition touchscreen with intuitive smartphone-like functionality. This control supports program input via keyboard, USB, and Ethernet, offering flexible data transfer. The Hyper-i control enhances operator productivity with features like soft limit settings, dynamic content assistance, dark mode, and real-time status display, reducing the need for specialized skills while improving machining accuracy and on-time delivery. Included is a chiller to maintain stable machine operation temperature for consistent accuracy and performance. The overall system is engineered for robust handling of large parts and complex taper machining, combined with sophisticated digital controls that streamline programming and monitoring. This machine is ideal for manufacturing demanding aerospace, medical, and tooling components requiring precise taper cuts and heavy-duty processing capabilities with advanced automation support.
