Makino UPN-01

The UPN-01 represents the next leap forward in technology for ultra-precision machining and surface finish capability of small/fine wire operations. The machine features a unique horizontal wire drive system layout that enhances wire threading performance, and is capable of reliably threading start holes as small as 30µm (0.001”) diameter, and can operate with wire sizes ranging from 0.100mm (0.004”) down to 15µm (0.0006”) in diameter. The UPN-01 is capable of achieving sub-micron level accuracy with ultra-fine surface finishes down to as 0.02µmRa (1µinRa) using its oil-based di-electric system, and accuracy repeatability is further supported using the machines Pneumatic Static Pressure Guideways and Linear Motor motion technologies that minimize mechanical friction and mechanical inertia to ensure consistent ultra-precision movement. The UPN-01 features Makino’s universal Hyper i control system that provides the same streamlined and efficient user interface for both Wire and Sinker EDM machines using a large high definition 24” wide touch screen display.
