{"id":"makino-u53j","model_id":"U53j","name":"Makino U53j","summary":"The Makino U53j is a wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) system with a stationary work table and travels of 550 mm in X, 370 mm in Y, and 220 mm in Z. It uses the Hyper i control with a 24-inch class HD touchscreen and a three-step Program/Setup/Run workflow. The machine is intended for high-precision molds, stamping tools, and medical components, with surface finishes down to 0.08 µmRa using the Crystal Circuit.","study_notes":["Work table: 810 x 560 mm. Work tank: 970 x 710 mm.","Available wire diameters: 0.08, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3 mm; optional wire sizes down to 50 µm (0.002 in).","U-axis and V-axis travel: ±1.97 in each.","Maximum workpiece size: 37.8 x 27.2 x 8.7 in.","Maximum workpiece weight: 3,307 lbs.","Axis accuracy: 3 µm (0.0001 in) straightness; 4 µm (0.00015 in) squareness and parallelism.","Surface finish down to 0.08 µmRa (34 µinRa) with the Crystal Circuit.","Hyper i control: 24-inch class HD touchscreen, pinch/swipe/drag interface, and 3-step Program/Setup/Run operation.","Standard equipment includes a full-function advanced Handbox, digital onboard electronic manuals, instructional training videos, and E-Tech Doctor help functions.","Stationary work table construction eliminates dielectric weight shifting that occurs with moving-table designs.","Dielectric reservoir is integrated into the base casting; chilled air circulates throughout internal machine covers to mitigate thermal growth.","Optional 3D Probe system and H.E.A.T. technology for poor-flush applications."],"safety_notes":["Maximum workpiece weight: 3,307 lbs.","Maximum workpiece size: 37.8 x 27.2 x 8.7 in."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.makino.com/en-us/machine-technology/machines/wire-edm/u53j","title":"Related Content","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":6,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_edm","manufacturer":"makino","controllers":[],"travel_x_mm":550,"travel_y_mm":370,"travel_z_mm":220,"table_length_mm":810,"table_width_mm":560,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/makino-u53j","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
