Makino DUO Series Wire EDM with up to 62% Lower Wire Consumption

Makino's new DUO series wire EDMs provide you with a choice of Split V or PICO precision guides, and improved performance in nearly every EDM application—all while reducing wire consumption. Makinos patented generator creates a waveform that enables up to 30% faster cutting while improving part accuracy and finish. And with the new 0.012-in (0.3mm) wire technology, tests have shown that the DUO series consumes 62% less wire than comparable machines. At an average 2500 hour run rate per year, that's over $12000 per year in wire savings alone. Other features of the DUO series include dual feedback to assure accuracy and repeatability of movement and positioning over a long period of time, dual anchored ball screws for a rigid construction producing long-term sustained accuracy and precision, dual high-pressure flush pumps for improved roughing speeds and superior surface finishes, and dual head protect functions for crash protection capability to help reduce or eliminate damage caused by unexpected collisions.
