MICROMACHINING


Introducing the DUO43 and DUO64, the first wire EDM to offer a dual wire guide option. Plus they cut 30% faster and use up to 60% less wire.

With a choice of Split or PICO precision guides, you’ll realize added performance in nearly every EDM application—all while reducing wire consumption. Makino’s patented generator creates a waveform that cuts up to 30% faster while improving part accuracy and finish. With our new 0.012-in (0.3mm) wire technology, tests have shown that Makino's new DUO consumes 62.5% less wire than comparable machines. At an average 2500 hour run rate per year, that's over $12,000 per year in wire savings. Add the patented generator that creates a trapezoidal waveform that cuts 30% faster, and it's easy to see why the DUO-series is better.
