VZ300L
Sodick's Precision, High Speed, CNC Wire EDM
Sodick’s VZ300L CNC cost-friendly Wire EDM is a precision machining solution for small to medium sized medical device-instruments, aerospace, energy-related parts and production parts that require close tolerances and fine surface finishes. The VZ300L includes many upgrades and replaces the AD325L Wire EDM.
VZ300L Competitive Advantages
- Drive Linear Motors with glass scale feedback; guarantees machining accuracy
- Energy Saving Circuit saves on power consumption
- Motion Controller provides simultaneous axis movement & makes spark gap changes in real time
- On-board, user-friendly Heart NC software programs 2 & 4 axes shapes and can import CAD files
- Since linear motor EDMs will never wear, they come with a 10 Year Positioning Guarantee

VZ300L Wire EDM: Product Description
Linear Motor Drives with Absolute Glass Scale Feedback
Sodick’s VZ300L linear motor driven, precision Wire EDM features new user-friendly EDMing technology which further enhances productivity and EDMing precision. The machine’s linear motor axes drives are coupled with glass scale feedback on the X,Y,U,V axes which ensure precision cutting and positioning accuracy. Sodick’s X,Y,U,V linear motor drives have no backlash and are backed by Sodick’s 10 year positioning accuracy guarantee.
SMART Control Technology
The machine’s 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 makes it easy to transfer programming files. The 4GB compact flash card memory eliminates hard drives which can crash resulting in lost data. In the event of a power loss, the UPS system will automatically lock the axes 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. The VZ300L precision Wire EDM comes with the K-SMC-Link (Sodick Motion Controller) which provides simultaneous axes movement and makes spark gap changes in real time. This results in improved machining speed, workpiece accuracy and fewer required skim passes.
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. With the annealing process, the wire is heated, stretched and cut to a sharp point resulting in a smaller required wire guide clearance resulting in improved part accuracy. Since the annealing AWT can thread in the submerged mode, the worktank does not have to be drained when the wire is threading. The Z axis position will automatically set the dielectric fluid for the operator.
Standard Technology
Standard wire EDM technology includes the high speed electrolysis-free circuit which eliminates workpiece oxidation and improves part straightness, the corner control circuit improves corner accuracy as well as the new energy saving circuit. The energy saving circuit saves on energy cost by recycling unused discharges that were not used in the discharge process. A dielectric chiller and transformer is also included.
About Sodick:
Established in 1976, Sodick is the world’s largest EDM manufacturer with over 50,000 EDMs sold worldwide. Sodick Inc. has three technical centers located in Chicago, New Jersey and Southern California that provide regional customer support. Sodick has 4 ISO certified manufacturing facilities and 3,100 employees that are focused on building high precision CNC Wire Cut EDMs.
All Sodick CNC Wire EDMs go through a final machine inspection. Each Wire EDM’s subcomponent is individually inspected. Test cuts are performed on all Wire EDMs to check for dimensional part accuracy and quality surface finish. Components; such as, machine castings, ceramic components, circuitry boards, linear motor drives, control cabinets, dielectric tanks and motion controllers are all designed and manufactured underneath Sodick’s quality control.
