Our best estimate for the Makino UPN-01 is $180,000 - $250,000. 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-upn-01#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino gives a range from 0.100 mm (0.004 in) down to 15 µm (0.0006 in), and says the horizontal wire drive layout can reliably thread start holes as small as 30 µm (0.001 in). That makes it a machine for micro features rather than general wire EDM work.
The maximum workpiece is 150 mm x 150 mm x 40 mm Tall (5.9 in x 5.9 in x 1.6 in Tall) and 8 kg (17.6 lb). Travel is 160 x 160 x 50 mm, with ±7 mm (±0.28 in) of U and V. The work tank measures 275 mm × 430 mm × 330 mm (10.82 in x 16.92 in x 12.99 in).
Makino describes the UPN-01 as capable of sub-micron accuracy. It uses a 0.01 µm (10 nm) scale feedback system and a minimum programmable increment of 0.1 µm (0.000004 in), and quotes a mechanical movement roundness of 0.2 µm (0.000008 in), achieved with pneumatic static pressure guideways and linear motors.
Makino says the oil dielectric gives greater control of the spark gap, which improves part accuracy, surface finish and metallurgical quality. The quoted finish is down to 0.02 µm Ra (1 µin Ra). The work zone is also enclosed and temperature controlled to limit thermal change during long runs.
The integrated rotary C-axis indexes to ±2 arc seconds (±0.00056 degrees) and also handles automatic exchange of the workpiece. An automatic slug ejection system is available as additional equipment to extend unattended machining further.
