Rigid Linear Motor Drives
Sodick’s ALN800GH rigid linear motor driven, high precision Wire EDM machine features new user-friendly EDM technology which further enhances productivity and EDM precision. The machine’s rigid linear motor axes drives are coupled with glass scales on the X, Y, U, and V axes which ensure 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. Sodick currently manufactures and delivers only rigid linear motor driven machines; proving the unrivaled reliability of Sodick’s own rigid linear motor technology. Sodick’s rigid linear motors have the optimum flat design. The machine castings support the linear motor to achieve ideal linear performance, the ultimate design for precision machining.
CNC Smart Control – SPW
The new Sodick Control SPW (Smart Pulse Wire) has many attractive features, from the use of the industry standard Windows 7 operating system, to an enhanced, 19 inch horizontal TFT multi-touch screen. The ALN control design streamlines the former tablet and classic control modes into a single work screen with easy-access functions. The streamlined design also improves control processing speed, for a highly responsive user experience
The NC programs are supported with 2D and 3D graphics. Maintenance screens show the status of the machine and remote access is possible for maintenance and supervision.
Smart Pulse Generator
The Smart Pulse Generator reduces the number of cuts necessary to achieve the required accuracy and surface finish. This reduction in time translates directly into a financial advantage.
Intelligent Q³vic
Intelligent Q³vic EDM technology allows the importation of 3D CAD files and is standard with the ALN-G Series. This automatic programming system detects the profile of a workpiece that can be machined with Wire EDM and extracts the machining contour. Significant savings in programming hours are possible thanks to this advanced software.
Sodick Motion Controller
The Sodick Motion Controller (K-SMC), accurately controls the high-speed and precise linear motor drive movements through commands from the NC unit. The K-SMC was heavily researched and developed to bring about new technical innovations to electrical discharge machining. Developed in Silicon Valley, CA, the K-SMC accurately controls high-speeds, rapid acceleration and precise positioning.
Eco-Friendly
The ALN-G Series features energy-saving designs and technologies. Compared to conventional EDMs, the Sodick Wire EDM Machine Range can reduce average energy consumption by up to 60%.
Fixed Jet High Speed Automatic Wire Threader
This AWT system allows submerged and non-submerged threading. Combining thermal wire cut for a straighter wire and new water-jet function, the reliability of the Sodick AWT system has been further improved. The exclusive use of closed guides on the ALN800G in combination with the FJ AWT further increases productivity.
10 Year Accuracy Positioning Guarantee
At Sodick, we believe in our product. This is why we offer a 10-Year Positioning Accuracy Guarantee on our linear motor driven Wire and Sinker EDMs. We guarantee that you will not lose any accuracy within the linear motor drives.

Thermal Commit (TH COM)
Through sensing, the temperature of each component of the machine is precisely corrected and the Thermal Commit (TH COM) function, which provides various diagnostic functions, minimizes thermal displacement due to temperature changes in the installation environment and during high-speed driving.
Sample
Due to the higher speeds and accuracy associated with linear motors when machining rough cuts, the processing of fitting parts, which previously required three passes, can bow be achieved in just two. This has a 41% cutting time reduction on this sample part.
