Our best estimate for the Makino UPV-5 is $250,000 - $340,000. 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-upv-5#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Size. The UPV-5 has 550 x 370 x 220 mm (21.65 x 14.56 x 8.7 in) of travel, an 810 x 550 mm (31.89 x 21.65 in) table and a 550 kg (1212 lb) workpiece limit. The UPV-3 has 370 x 270 x 220 mm (14.56 x 10.63 x 8.7 in), a 630 x 450 mm (24.8 x 17.71 in) table and 350 kg (771 lb). Both sit on the stationary-table Uj-series platform and cut in oil.
Yes. Makino lists an integrated Fire Suppression system as standard safety equipment on the UPV-5, for reliable extended unattended operation. On a machine running an oil dielectric, that is an item to have in the base specification rather than to add later.
Makino offers an optional integrated 3D Setup Probe and Rotary Table to configure the machine for the cutting tool insert industry. Combined with the oil dielectric, which protects carbide and PCD from binder corrosion such as cobalt depletion, that is the configuration for insert work.
The maximum workpiece is 960 mm x 690 mm x 100 mm (37.79 in x 27.17 in x 3.94 in), so parts are limited to 100 mm (3.94 in) of height even though Z travel is 220 mm (8.7 in). It suits die plates and inserts rather than tall blocks.
