Makino U1310 vs ONA AV60
Makino vs ONA Electroerosion · Wire EDM
Summary
The Makino U1310 and the ONA AV60 are both wire EDMs for mould and die work. The U1310 has the larger X-Y envelope: 1,310 mm (51.57 in) of X travel and 1,010 mm (39.76 in) of Y, against 800 mm (31.5 in) and 600 mm (23.6 in) on the AV60.
The AV60 is offered with Z travel of 500/600/700/800 mm (19.7/23.6/27.5/31.5 in), so its taller versions go beyond the U1310's 520 mm, or 620 mm with the option. Wire ranges overlap: the U1310 takes 0.200, 0.250 and 0.300 mm wire, and the AV60 takes 0.2 – 0.33 mm (0.008 – 0.013 in), slightly thicker at the top end.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Makino U1310 | ONA AV60 |
|---|---|---|
| X-Axis Travel | 1,310 mm (51.57 in) ▲ | 800 mm (31.5 in) |
| Y-Axis Travel | 1,010 mm (39.76 in) ▲ | 600 mm (23.6 in) |
| Z-Axis Travel | 520 mm (optional 620 mm) (20.47 in (optional 24.41 in)) | 500 / 600 / 700 / 800 mm (19.7 / 23.6 / 27.5 / 31.5 in) |
| Wire Diameter Range | 0.200, 0.250, 0.300mm Ø (0.008 in, 0.010 in, 0.012 in Ø ) | 0.20 / 0.33 mm (0.008 – 0.013 in) |
Advantages
Makino U1310
- 1,310 mm (51.57 in) of X travel against 800 mm (31.5 in)
- 1,010 mm (39.76 in) of Y travel against 600 mm (23.6 in)
ONA AV60
- Z travel offered at 500/600/700/800 mm, reaching 800 mm against the U1310's 620 mm optional maximum
- Wire up to 0.33 mm (0.013 in) against 0.300 mm on the U1310
Verdict
Choose the Makino U1310 for the largest mould bases, die sets and long parts, which need its 1,310 x 1,010 mm X-Y travel. Choose the ONA AV60 for medium-sized progressive die components, mould inserts and extrusion dies, especially thick parts that need more than 620 mm of Z height, since the AV60 is offered with up to 800 mm. If parts fit within 800 x 600 mm, the AV60's travel is enough.
