MAKINO DUO43 WIRE EDM MACHINES

Technical Description

The Makino DUO43 is a precision wire EDM machine designed for high-accuracy cutting operations on complex workpieces. This compact model features a robust 5-axis CNC control system with the Makino MGW S-6 controller, enabling simultaneous operation of four axes (X, Y, U, V) for advanced taper cutting and precision machining. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 28 inches by 22 inches by 11.8 inches, weighing up to 1,764 lbs., providing substantial capacity within a reduced footprint. With axis travels of 17.7 inches (X), 12 inches (Y), 12.6 inches (Z), and ±3.97 inches (U/V), the DUO43 delivers flexibility for intricate part geometries. Equipped with automatic wire threading and submerged machining capabilities, the machine streamlines production workflows while enhancing operational efficiency. The dielectric system includes a temperature controller synchronized with machine casting temperature and a 7.5 HP chiller providing 19,125 BTU/Hr cooling capacity. Dual high-pressure flush pumps operate at 290 psi to optimize roughing speeds and surface finish quality. The 14-inch color TFT touch screen display, integrated keyboard, USB, and Ethernet connectivity facilitate intuitive programming and monitoring. Wire feed rates range from 0.02 to 14.17 inches per second, with programmable tension control from 1.475 to 22.12 lbs/F. The machine's dual-anchored ballscrews ensure long-term sustained accuracy and precision, backed by a 10-year guarantee, making it ideal for demanding production environments requiring consistent repeatability.
