MAKINO U1310 WIRE EDM MACHINES

Technical Description

The Makino U1310 Wire EDM Machine is a high-precision, large-format CNC wire electrical discharge machine engineered for demanding industrial applications. Featuring a stationary worktable design, the U1310 delivers exceptional rigidity and support for workpieces weighing up to 13,228 lbs., ensuring consistent accuracy regardless of part size or weight. The machine offers X-axis travel of 51.5 inches, Y-axis travel of 39.7 inches, and Z-axis travel of 20.5 inches, with an optional extended Z-axis stroke of 24.4 inches for increased versatility. Its programmable 3-sided rise and fall work tank enables submerged operations up to 24.4 inches thick, while the integrated dielectric reservoir within the base casting enhances thermal stability and minimizes floor space requirements. The U1310 is equipped with Makino’s Hyper-i CNC control system, providing an intuitive, user-friendly interface with advanced productivity-boosting functions and a large high-definition touchscreen display. Industry-leading technologies such as Makino’s H.E.A.T. (High-Energy Applied Technology) significantly reduce cutting times by 18 to 44 percent compared to conventional wire EDM methods, while maintaining outstanding part straightness and surface finish. The machine incorporates a split V-guide wire guide system for reliable automatic wire threading at full stroke height and extended guide life. Standard features include a high-capacity four-filter dielectric filtration system, dual digitally controlled flush pumps, and a 66 lb. wire spool system. Positioning accuracy is maintained at ±3µm (±0.0001”) over the full stroke, ensuring repeatable, high-precision results for even the most complex geometries. The U1310 is ideal for high-speed, high-accuracy machining of large, heavy, or intricate parts in aerospace, mold and die, and advanced manufacturing environments.
