Our best estimate for the Makino UX3 is $140,000 - $195,000. 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-ux3#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Up to 770 x 590 x 220 mm Tall (30.3 in x 23.2 in x 8.7 in Tall) and 600 kg (1,323 lb). The table is 3-Sided at 630 x 450 mm (24.8 x 17.7 in) inside a 790 mm x 611 mm (31.10 in x 24.05 in) tank, so a part can overhang the table on the open sides.
0.070 mm, 0.100 mm, 0.150 mm, 0.200 mm, 0.250 mm and 0.300 mm. The conditions library covers different materials, wire types and sizes, including 0.300 mm (0.012 in) settings for faster cutting of thick parts.
No. Makino says every cutting condition, including sealed and poor-flush applications, is optimised for low wire consumption from the start, with no special settings or buttons. Since wire is one of the largest expenses of running a wire EDM, that matters most for shops cutting long hours.
On the spec table they are close: both have 370 x 270 x 220 mm (14.6 x 10.6 x 8.7 in) of travel, a 600 kg (1,323 lb) workpiece limit and the same 0.070 to 0.300 mm wire list. The UX3i's 3-Sided table is listed at 630 x 460 mm (24.8 x 18.11 in), against 630 x 450 mm on the UX3.
Makino's Hyper-i, the same interface as on its sinker EDMs, operated by pinch, swipe and drag on a large 24” HD touch screen with a three-step Program/Setup/Run process. A full-function handbox, onboard electronic manuals, E-Tech Doctor help and instructional videos are standard.
