Our best estimate for the Makino U6 Wire EDM is $350,000 – $500,000. 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-u6-wire-edm#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Not on the listed figures. This page lists 600 x 400 x 220 mm of travel. The current UX6 lists 650 x 450 x 420 mm (25.6 x 17.7 x 16.5 in) and a 3-Sided 910 x 710 mm table, and the U6 H.E.A.T. Extreme shares those travels. Treat this page as an older machine and confirm which build a seller is offering.
The listed figures were not checked against a Makino source, so measure the strokes against the 600 x 400 x 220 mm listed, confirm the control is a Makino Hyper-i, and run a test cut in your own material with the wire size you plan to use from the listed 0.1 – 0.3 mm range.
