The Seibu America MEX15 Oil is an ultra-precision oil-dielectric wire EDM for small tooling, carbide components, and micro-features. It supports wire diameters down to 0.0012 in. (0.03 mm), ±1 µm pitch accuracy, and controlled finishing without direct cutting pressure.
The Seibu MEX15 Oil is an ultra-precision oil wire EDM developed for small parts with narrow slots, fine internal radii, closely spaced profiles, and demanding surface requirements. Its oil dielectric supports stable micro-wire cutting where feature integrity, corrosion control, and finish are more important than maximum material-removal speed.
The machine accepts wire from 0.0012 to 0.006 in. (0.03 to 0.15 mm) and provides 5.90 × 5.90 × 4.72 in. of X-Y-Z travel. A 26.46 lb workpiece limit and ±10-degree taper capacity at 2.36 in. thickness define the practical setup envelope for miniature tooling, carbide details, precision inserts, and other conductive components.
Smart NC control, 0.01 µm command increments, and Seibu’s ultra-precision construction support repeatable feature location and controlled skim-cut strategies. Shops evaluating the MEX15 Oil should match dielectric choice, wire size, threading access, finish target, inspection capability, and production rate to the complete part family.
