MAKINO U86 WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The Makino U86 Wire EDM is a precision CNC-controlled wire electrical discharge machining system engineered for large-scale industrial applications. This machine accommodates workpieces up to 1,400mm x 987mm (55.1" x 38.8") with maximum weights reaching 3,000kg (6,614 lbs.), making it ideal for processing substantial components while maintaining exceptional accuracy. The machine features a stationary worktable design that eliminates variables such as workpiece and dielectric weight shifting, ensuring repeatable precision regardless of part size. With X-axis travel of 31.5 inches, Y-axis travel of 23.6 inches, and Z-axis travel of 12.6 inches, the U86 delivers substantial machining envelope capacity. The standard Z-stroke configuration measures 520mm (20.47"), with an optional extended 620mm (24.41") version available, and features zero dead zones allowing full positioning range. The machine incorporates Makino's evolutionary Hyper i control system paired with a high-definition 24-inch touchscreen interface utilizing intuitive smartphone-like navigation. The Split-V Wire Guide system requires minimal maintenance while lasting 34 times longer than traditional round guides, featuring reliable automatic wire threading at full Z-stroke height. Standard equipment includes high-capacity 4-filter filtration, dual digitally controlled flush pumps, and a 66-pound wire spool system. Submerged operations accommodate workpieces up to 20.4 inches thick, while optimized machining condition settings deliver peak performance balancing speed, accuracy, surface finish, and minimal wire consumption.
