Makino introduces its latest innovation in wire EDM technology, the\u00a0U1310 wire EDM machine<\/a>. Designed to substantially improve ease of operation, machining speed and accuracy in large workpiece applications, the U1310 delivers unmatched versatility and flexibility for a wide range of industries.
\n\u201cToo often, manufacturers assume that the larger the workpiece, the less precise the performance,\u201d said Brian Pfluger, EDM product line manager at Makino. \u201cThe U1310 debunks this myth by providing superior levels of precision even when compared to smaller travel EDM machines. With features like Makino\u2019s high-energy applied technology (H.E.A.T.) and an innovative fixed table design, operators can expect faster machining speeds on even the most difficult cutting applications and larger workpieces.\u201d
\nThe U1310 offers X-, Y- and Z-axis travels of 1310 mm by 1010 mm by 520 mm, and is optional with a larger full stroke 620mm Z-Axis. The standard machine configuration can accommodate a maximum workpiece size of 2000 mm by 1600 mm by 500 mm and maximum workpiece weight of 6,000 kg. Other features of the U1310 include a programmable 3-sided drop tank system for increased accessibility during workpiece loading and part setups, a fixed table for superior machining accuracy, and Makino\u2019s intuitive Hyper-i control for improved operator efficiency and performance.
\n
\nEase of Operation
\n<\/strong>The U1310 is one of the world\u2019s first large machines to feature a programmable 3-sided drop tank system, enabling excellent accessibility and easy setups for large workpieces and improving ergonomics for machine maintenance and operation. Operators can lower the work tank for unobstructed access from three sides, and can drop the tank below table level for even more accessibility. Additionally, since the work tank height can be adjusted to match the workpiece, the operator can clearly see the machining condition at all times. To reduce the operation interval for wire spool replacement, the machine is standard with a large capacity wire spool unit that accommodates spool size up to 30 kg.
\nEquipped with Makino\u2019s advanced Hyper-i machine control, the U1310 provides a more intuitive operation experience by utilizing a user-friendly interface similar to that found on tablets and Smartphones. A high-definition touch-screen display features Pinch, Swipe and Spread functions and integrates on-board digital manuals, intelligent help functions, and an e-Learning training system for easy, efficient operation. The Hyper-i control can also be customized to individual operators and\/or for certain shifts, and an optional dual display screen can be configured for use with an optional onboard CAD\/CAM system.
\n
\nSuperior Accuracy and Precision
\n<\/strong>The U1310 maintains superior machining accuracy with a fixed work table design that provides excellent machine rigidity, even when the table is loaded with a heavy workpiece. The combination of machine rigidity with machining technology and control software delivers exceptional roundness, and operators can expect shape accuracies within \u00b13 \u03bcm and a best surface finish of 0.3 \u03bcm Ra \/ 2.2 \u03bcm Rz.\u00a0 The machine is also capable of operating wire sizes of 0.200, 0.250, and 0.300mm diameter.
\nAccuracy is also ensured by the U1310\u2019s dielectric fluid cooling unit, which has been integrated into the base machine casting and keeps the temperature inside the machine at the same level as the dielectric fluid temperature. This provides greater thermal stability, reducing distortion and ensuring stable high-machining accuracy even during long hours of machining.
\n
\nH.E.A.T. Configurations<\/strong>
\nThe U1310 is available with H.E.A.T. configuration, featuring Makino\u2019s High Energy Applied Technology. This configuration incorporates a combination of flushing enhancements and special generator upgrades that greatly increase cutting speeds on the most difficult machining applications. H.E.A.T. technology is designed to provide unparalleled wire EDM machining speed and accuracy in parts featuring poor or difficult flushing conditions. This performance enhancement enables up to 43 percent faster machining times and up to 33 percent reduction in wire consumption, compared to previous technology.
