Makino offers its UP6 HEAT Wire EDM machine, capable of achieving workpiece positional accuracies of 1 micron (0.00004”) while providing X/Y/Z travels respectively of 650 x 470 x 320 mm (25.59” x 18.50” x 12.68”). The UP6 HEAT machine is designed for high precision stamping and fine blanking applications, and is suited for electric motor stator die tooling.
The machine features a stationary work table design that helps improve positional accuracy, as the machine is moving the same mass regardless of workpiece weight. The machine uses a programmable rise and fall 3-sided work tank that provides ergonomic access to the work zone, and this configuration also simplifies requirements for automation.
The UP6 HEAT contains several features that are designed to provide a high level of longterm thermal stability, such as integrating the water di-electric reservoir into the base casting of the machine, which also minimizes floor space requirements. The machine employs active thermal cooling of the entire structure where chilled di-electric fluid is circulated through the casting to maintain a constant machine temperature.
The UP6 HEAT uses the intuitive Hyperi control that features a large 24” class HD touchscreen that operates like a common smartphone or tablet. “The Hyper-i control delivers a common interface that is used on both Makino wire and sinker EDM machines, and contains many helpful advanced functions that support every need of the operator to boost productivity,” said a company spokesperson. The machine also comes standard with the HyperConnect IIoT network connectivity function for remote machine monitoring and interconnectivity.
The UP6 HEAT also features a new Wire Drive and Wire Threading system, called HyperDrive Extreme, that improves the performance capabilities of the machine. The new Wire Drive system uses a new AC motor tensioning system that expands the range and stability of wire tension, and also reduces the maintenance requirements. The new Wire Threading system provides both Jet and Jet-less threading modes, and can rethread the wire in the gap at a break point.
