{"id":"makino-ux6i","model_id":"UX6i","name":"Makino UX6i","summary":"The Makino UX6i is a wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) machine in the UXi series. It uses an HFG generator and a Hyper Drive Extreme wire guide system with AC servo wire tensioning. Its worktable measures 910 x 710 mm, with X, Y, and Z travels of 650 mm, 450 mm, and 420 mm.","study_notes":["The UXi series uses an internal radiator cooling system and a chiller that maintains temperature within ±0.1 °C.","The Hyper Drive Extreme wire guide system is driven by an AC servo motor tensioning system.","The HFG Generator uses higher frequency and lower current to improve surface finish.","In the document's example, a 50 mm thick H13 tool steel punch was machined to 0.20 µm Ra in four passes with a 5% reduction in machining time versus a 0.25 µm Ra target.","Jet-less threading is intended for interrupted or hollow parts and extremely small start holes.","The auto-wire-threading system uses an annealing process to straighten the wire.","After a wire break, the auto-wire-threading system can thread in the gap for specific applications.","U-axis and V-axis travel are each ±75 mm.","Available wire diameters are 0.100 mm, 0.150 mm, 0.200 mm, 0.250 mm, and 0.300 mm.","Tank size is 1,070 mm x 880 mm (42.12 in x 34.64 in)."],"safety_notes":["Maximum workpiece size is 1000 x 800 x 400 mm tall."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.makino.com/en-us/machine-technology/machines/wire-edm/ux6i","title":"High Precision Wire EDM","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":650,"travel_y_mm":450,"travel_z_mm":420,"table_length_mm":910,"table_width_mm":710,"table_load_kg":1500,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/makino-ux6i","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
