The Makino U86 is an industrial-grade CNC Wire & Sinker EDM powered by the Standard CNC. a top spindle speed of 0 RPM, and a 3-axis kinematic layout. It supports standardized digital factory monitoring via MTConnect.
Makino U86 wire EDM: 800 x 600 mm X and Y, 1220 x 910 mm table, 520 mm or optional 620 mm Z stroke and H.E.A.T. as standard.

Our best estimate for the Makino U86 is $320,000 - $440,000. 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-u86#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino's introduction gives a standard 520mm (20.47”) Z-stroke with an extended 620mm (24.41”) version available, both positioning from Z-zero to full height. The short spec table on the same page shows 500 mm, so confirm the stroke on the quotation. The tank fills to 50mm (1.96”) above the highest Z position.
Yes. Makino lists H.E.A.T. (High Energy Applied Technology) as standard on the U86. It uses two independent CNC-controlled flush pumps to give the flushing pressure and volume needed to cut faster in poor-flush applications, while holding part straightness and accuracy.
The U1310 is the larger machine, with 1,310 mm (51.57 in) of X, 1,010 mm (39.76 in) of Y and an Opposed L-Shape table. The U86 has 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. Both list ±101 mm (±3.98 in) of U and V and the same 0.20 to 0.30 mm wire range.
0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 mm (0.008 in, 0.010 in, 0.012 in). There is no fine-wire option in the table, so the U86 is a machine for large, thick parts rather than small internal radii. The Split-V guides and automatic threading work at full Z height.
The rise and fall work tank opens on 3 sides, giving access to the table for loading and unloading large parts and for maintenance. The 1400 x 910 mm tank surrounds a 1220 x 910 mm (48 in x 35.8 in) table, so plan crane access and fixturing from the open sides.
