Ultra-precise machining and surface finish for small/fine wire operations.
The UPN-01 represents the next leap forward in technology for ultra-precision machining and surface finish capability of small/fine wire operations.
 

This micro component was machined by using a combination of micro hole machining technologies of the EDFH1, fine hole sinker, and ultra fine wire technologies of the UPJ-2 horizontal wire EDM. The first operation of the EDFH1 machine, required the use of a 60 micron tungsten electrode, to produce (4)...

In Aerospace manufacturing—where behemoth machines produce monolithic structural parts—change comes slowly. In fact, over the last 80 years, Aerospace manufacturing has been comfortably tethered to gantry-style vertical mills for large part production. However, there is a major paradigm...

To be competitive today, manufacturers must leverage the most advanced technology while keeping a pulse on maximizing long-term reliability, accuracy, and ROI. With many low-cost solutions available, it’s important to calculate a machine’s true ROI before making a purchase. While low-cost...

The Makino U6 H.E.A.T. Extreme Wire Electrical Discharge Machine (Wire EDM) is the fastest in the industry. Its innovative EDM technology uses a 0.016” (0.400mm) coated wire to achieve the fastest feedrates possible— twice as fast as traditional 0.010" brass wire.  The...

The A99 horizontal machining center is the latest addition to Makino's highly advanced line of A-Series machining centers. With x, y and z axis travels of 39.4 x 39.4 x 37.4" (1,000 x 1,000 x 950mm) and a spindle speed range from 0 to 12,000 rpm, it is the largest and fastest of the line, which...
