Wire electrical discharge machine UPV-3

wire-cutwire EDMhigh-accuracy

Product Overview
The UPV-3 wire EDM machine is engineered for ultra-precision machining and ultra-fine surface finishes. Based on the Makino Uj-Series Wire EDM platform with a stationary table design, the UPV-3 meets tighter construction accuracy specifications and uses an oil-based dielectric to achieve surface finishes down to 0.02 µm Ra (1 µin Ra).

Key features

• Oil-based dielectric fluid (same dielectric oil used by Sinker EDM) enabling a smaller discharge spark gap versus deionized water.
• Enables finer surface finish and improved metallurgical quality through lower power-level machining.
• Reduced Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and minimal recast layer due to lower discharge power.
• Prevents oxidation on steel workpieces in-machine and protects synthetic materials such as carbide and PCD (avoids binder/cobalt depletion).
• Stationary table design for maximum precision and repeatability.
• Three-sided rise-and-fall work tank design for improved operational access and simplified loading/setup.
• Hyper i control system with high-definition wide 24"-class touch screen supporting pinch/swipe/drag operations.
• Standard advanced Handbox, on-board electronic manuals, E-Tech Doctor diagnostic function, and video training tutorials to increase operator productivity.
• Optional integrated 3D setup probe and optional rotary table (suitable for cutting tool insert manufacturing).
• Standard integrated fire suppression system for reliable extended unattended operation.
• Suited for ultra-precision applications such as precision stamping, fine-blanking components, and cutting tool insert manufacturing.

Additional notes
The oil dielectric enables machining at much lower power levels compared with deionized water dielectric, delivering superior surface finish and metallurgical outcomes while preventing oxidation and preserving material integrity.
