Makino will spotlight its U3 wire EDM, which merges all machine components into a single base structure for improved mechanical rigidity and thermal stability. The machine’s stationary table design also ensures sustainable long-term accuracy, the company says.
The U3 is equipped with Makino’s Hyper-I advanced machine control, which features a user-friendly interface similar to that found on tablets and smartphones for intuitive operation. A 24-inch high-definition touchscreen display provides a variety of intelligent functions, including onboard electronic manuals, instructional videos and a diagnosis tool.
The EDM also includes HyperCut technology, a special three-pass process technology developed to produce surface finishes as fine as 3-microns Rz in standard tool steels. This feature provides reduced cycle time and wire consumption over previous technology, the company says.
