Our best estimate for the Makino U1 Wire EDM is $280,000 – $400,000. This is an estimate for a wire edm in this class, not a quote from Makino; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/makino-u1-wire-edm#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Travels are 200 x 160 x 110 mm in X, Y and Z, and the maximum workpiece weight is 30 kg. That covers small inserts and punches; anything larger belongs on a bigger machine such as the U32j, with 370 x 270 x 220 mm of travel.
The listed range is 0.02 – 0.2 mm. The finest wires allow very small corner radii and narrow kerfs but cut slowly; the listed maximum cutting speed is 80 mm²/min, so check which wire size a quoted speed applies to.
