The Makino U6 high precision wire EDM has such robustness and dependability in non-stop working operations that the operator can simply set it and forget it while it does its job, made possible with the key technologies such as High Energy Applied Technology or HEAT and Hyper Cut to assure hours and hours of unhindered manual machining. Some more notable features include little or nil wire breaking, low wire consumption and quick machining times. The Makino U6, which is successor to the popular DUO series and the big brother of the U3 launched the previous year, has been made for extremely productive and precise machining of stamping dies, plastic moulds, or parts whereas the machine's new wire extraction, guide head, and cleaning system reduce the maintenance time for the operator to spend majority of the time in cutting.
