# Makino U53j

Hardware · `U53j` · verification: source checked

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.
