The Seibu America MEX15 is a compact wire EDM built for high-precision cutting of small, complex components. It delivers consistent accuracy through a rigid machine structure, precise motion control, and stable thermal performance during extended cutting cycles. As a result, the MEX15 supports reliable machining of tight-tolerance parts while maintaining efficient use of floor space in production and toolroom environments.
The Seibu MEX15 is a high-precision wire EDM built for demanding applications that require both flexibility and performance. Designed for ultra-precision machining, this CNC wire EDM system supports operations using both water and oil dielectric configurations. The MEX15 runs as a water wire EDM machine for general-purpose cutting. It also switches to oil dielectric wire EDM for superior surface finishes and tight tolerances, delivering consistent results across a variety of conductive materials.
This ultra-precision oil wire EDM setup enhances accuracy for micro-featured parts, medical components, and fine-detail tools. By reducing electrode wear and minimizing discharge gaps, the oil wire EDM machine configuration enables extremely fine cuts with minimal thermal impact. The water wire EDM machine mode delivers efficient material removal for standard high‑precision EDM applications. The MEX15 seamlessly supports both modes, giving manufacturers unmatched versatility without needing two separate systems.
With its rigid structure, thermal-stable design, and Seibu’s advanced CNC wire EDM system, the MEX15 ensures consistency over long jobs. The machine includes Seibu’s Smart NC control for simplified programming and real-time optimization of cutting conditions. Whether in water or oil mode, the MEX15 high precision wire EDM maintains clean finishes, sharp corners, and dimensional control. For shops requiring ultra-precision oil wire EDM or a high-performance water wire EDM machine in a single, compact platform, the MEX15 stands out as a flexible, capable solution.
