MAKINO UP6 H.E.A.T WIRE EDM MACHINE

The Makino UP6 H.E.A.T Wire EDM is an advanced Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine designed for ultra-precision wire electrical discharge machining applications. This system features the proprietary Hyper-i control interface, enabling operators to execute complex cutting operations with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. The machine accommodates X-axis travel of 25.6 inches, Y-axis travel of 18.5 inches, and Z-axis travel of 12.6 inches, providing substantial workspace for diverse workpiece geometries and sizes. The UP6 H.E.A.T employs active thermal cooling of the entire structure, with chilled dielectric fluid circulated throughout to maintain long-term thermal stability and achieve workpiece positional accuracies of 1 micron (0.00004"). This precision capability makes it ideal for ultra-high-tolerance components in aerospace, medical, and precision tooling industries. The machine utilizes 0.016" (0.400mm) coated wire technology optimized for maximum feedrates—approximately twice as fast as traditional 0.010" brass wire—while maintaining superior cutting quality. Available wire sizes range from 0.100mm to 0.400mm diameter, allowing operators to balance speed with precision based on specific application requirements. The robust CNC architecture combined with integrated water dielectric systems ensures consistent performance and simplified machine operation. Environmental considerations include requirements for stable temperatures, controlled humidity (75% or less), and minimal vibration exposure, with 3-phase electrical power supply specifications of 200-480 volts at ±10%.
