Our best estimate for the Makino U1310 is $500,000 - $700,000. 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-u1310#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino states positioning accuracy of ±3 µm (±0.0001 in) over the full stroke. On a machine with 1,310 mm (51.57 in) of X, that figure tells you whether features at opposite ends of a large plate will line up, so ask how it is measured and whether it is checked at installation.
The spec table lists 6,000 kg (13,228 lb.) under maximum workpiece. It gives no maximum workpiece dimensions, so check a large plate against the Opposed L-Shape table of 1720 x 1475mm (67.7 in x 58.1 in) and against the tank before quoting the job.
520 mm (20.47 in) as standard, with 620 mm (24.41 in) available as an option. U and V travel is ±101 mm (±3.98 in), which sets how much taper can be cut on a part that uses the full height of the stroke.
The U86 lists 800 x 600 mm (31.5 x 23.6 in) of X and Y on a 1220 x 910 mm (48 in x 35.8 in) table. The U1310 extends that to 1,310 x 1,010 mm (51.57 x 39.76 in) on an Opposed L-Shape table. Both take 0.200 to 0.300 mm wire and have ±101 mm (±3.98 in) of U and V.
The programmable 3-sided drop tank lowers below the work table height, leaving the table open for crane loading and unloading of heavy parts and making automation simpler to integrate. The dielectric reservoir is built into the base casting, which Makino says improves thermal stability and reduces the machine footprint.
