{"id":"makino-upv-5","model_id":"UPV-5","name":"Makino UPV-5","summary":"The Makino UPV-5 is a wire EDM machine built on the Uj-Series stationary-table platform, intended for large, high-precision parts such as fine-blanking and stamping die components. It uses an oil-based dielectric instead of deionized water, which allows machining at lower discharge power and produces surface finishes down to 0.02 µmRa. It is controlled by the Hyper i control with a 24-inch class touch screen and includes an integrated fire suppression system.","study_notes":["Oil dielectric is chemically neutral, so steel workpieces do not rust in the machine and carbide binder (cobalt) depletion is avoided.","Surface finish capability stated as 0.02 µmRa (1 µinRa).","Stationary table design with a 3-sided rise and fall work tank for work zone access.","Control is the Hyper i, with a 24-inch class high-definition touch screen, Handbox, on-board electronic manuals, E-Tech Doctor function and video tutorials; it is not in the available controller list.","U-axis and V-axis travel are each ±1.97 in (±50 mm).","Maximum workpiece size is 960 mm x 690 mm x 100 mm; tank size is 810 mm x 550 mm.","Optional integrated 3D Setup Probe and Rotary Table are offered for cutting tool insert manufacturing.","The document also references the smaller UPV-3 machine on the same Uj-Series platform."],"safety_notes":["Integrated Fire Suppression system is standard equipment, intended for reliable extended unattended operation."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.makino.com/en-us/machine-technology/machines/wire-edm/upv-5","title":"Related Content","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":7,"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":550,"table_load_kg":550,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/makino-upv-5","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
