Detailed Product Description

Linear Motor Drives with Absolute Glass Scale Feedback

Sodick’s AG600L linear motor driven, high precision wire EDM features new user-friendly EDMing technology, this technology further enhances productivity and EDMing precision. The machine’s linear motor axes drives are coupled with .4 millionths Heidenhain absolute glass scale feedback on the X, Y, U and V axes which ensures precision cutting and positioning accuracy. Sodick’s X, Y, U and V linear motor drives have no backlash and are backed by Sodick’s 10-Year Positioning Accuracy Guarantee. With the Heidenhain ultra-precision absolute linear glass scales, the true machine position is always known. This reduces set-up time since the operator no longer has to home the machine after is has been powered down.

SMART Control Technology – LN Series

The AG600L Windows XP based, high speed control comes standard with a large 15.1” LCD touch screen which is easy to view and eliminates glare. Standard items; such as, the LAN network connection and a 1GB USB memory stick make it easy to transfer programming files. The 4 GB compact flash card memory eliminates hard drives which can crash resulting in lost data, the UPS system will automatically lock the axis drives. Once power is restored, the machine will automatically power itself up and resume cutting.

The Heart NC on-board, user-friendly programming software is beneficial for shops that are on a tight budget. Heart NC can program both 2 and 4 axes shapes and import CAD files. After programming, the user-friendly Condition Set Screen will automatically select the optimum cutting conditions and offsets from its internal database and add them to the NC program.

Eco-Friendly

The AG Series features energy-saving designs and technologies. Compared to conventional EDMs, the Sodick Wire Electrical Discharge Machine Range can reduce average energy consumption by up to 60%.

High Speed Automatic Wire Threader

The new high speed, automatic, annealing wire threader improves wire straightness which increases the AWT repeatability especially at larger Z heights. During the annealing process, the wire is heated, stretched and cut to a sharp point resulting in a smaller required wire guide clearance improving part accuracy. Since the annealing AWT can thread in the submerged mode, the worktank does not have to be drained when wire threading. The Z axis position will automatically set the dielectric fluid for the operator.

3-Sided Rise/Fall Worktank

The 3-sided rise/fall worktank ensures a large set-up space and ergonomic accessibility. Since 3 sides slide down, the machine requires less operating space. The no-drip feature insures a clean shop floor, maintaining a safe work environment.

The fluid level is automatically adjusted according to the workpiece thickness and the operator can easily check machining progress even on thin workpieces because the slide tank can be stopped in intermediate positions while machining.
