The precision and surface finish quality of the UPV-3, for larger part details
Achieve the ultimate in precision and surface finish quality on larger part details with the UPV-5 Wire EDM machine. The UPV-5 features an oil-based di-electric system that provides greater control over the machining discharge spark energy, and this enhanced control provides the ability to machine with lower power, enabling the UPV-5 to achieve surface finishes down to 0.02µmRa (1µinRa ). This level of surface finish is unattainable using traditional deionized water di-electric due to the water always remaining slightly conductive, which inhibits the ability to machine with ultra-low discharge power.
Like the smaller UPV-3 machine, the UPV-5 is built on Makino’s proven Uj-Series machine platform that utilizes a stationary table design, and is held to a tighter construction accuracy tolerance. Excellent work zone access is provided by the 3-sided rise and fall work tank design, and this simplifies loading and setup of the work piece while fully supporting automation requirements. Ultra-precision applications such as fine-blanking and precision stamping die components are ideally suited for the UPV-5. The machine can also be configured to address the needs of the Cutting Tool Insert manufacturing industry with the optional integrated 3D Setup Probe and Rotary Table.
