Linear Motor Driven Wire EDM Machines



The most recent line of machines to be included in Sodick's product range is the SL-G Wire EDM Machine range.

The SL-G range features two models, the SL400G and the SL600G. Both models feature the same linear motor driven technology. They also come with a 10-year positioning accuracy guarantee. The SL400G has an X, Y, Z travel of 15.75" x 11.81" x 9.84" (400 x 300 x 250 mm), while the SL600G has an X, Y, Z travel of 23.62" x 15.75" x 13.78" (600 x 400 x 350 mm).

"These machines feature a Smart Pulse Generator. The Smart Pulse Generator reduces the number of cuts necessary to achieve the required accuracy and surface finish. This reduction in machining time translates directly into a financial advantage," said a company spokesperson.

The new control Smart Pulse Wire (SPW) features the use of the industry standard Windows 7 operating system and an enhanced 19 inch multi touch screen, which operates like a tablet. The operation screen can be selected between the traditional screen and the new tablet style screen. Screen layouts can be customized by the operator, to suit their working preferences.

Sodick machines are used for the production of dies and molds as well as other various applications. It has five ISO certified manufacturing facilities worldwide and technical centers located in Illinois, New Jersey and California.
