The Makino UPV-5 is an ultra-high-precision wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) system engineered for demanding precision applications requiring exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy. This machine features a robust CNC control system with travel capabilities of 21.65 inches (550 mm) on the X-axis, 14.56 inches (370 mm) on the Y-axis, and 3.94 inches (220 mm) on the Z-axis, accommodating workpieces up to 690 mm in width and 100 mm in height with a maximum load capacity of 350 kg. The UPV-5 is equipped with an oil-based dielectric system that provides superior control over machining discharge spark energy, enabling precision cutting of hardened materials including carbides and other difficult-to-machine alloys. The machine's stationary worktable design delivers repeatable accuracy regardless of workpiece size or weight, ensuring consistent results across production runs. A distinctive feature is the 3-sided rise and fall work tank design, which provides excellent access to the work zone and simplifies workpiece loading and setup while maintaining full machining capability. The machine operates with a worktank length of 790 mm and table dimensions of 810 mm x 550 mm, offering adequate workspace for complex geometries. The UPV-5 is specifically positioned in Makino's lineup as an ideal solution for ultra-high accuracy applications demanding the best possible surface finish, making it particularly suitable for precision tooling, aerospace components, and medical device manufacturing where tolerances and surface quality are critical.
