Our patented wire rotation technology, iGroove+, increases surface quality and accuracy while minimizing wire consumption by up to 30%.

The Sodick Motion Controller (K-SMC), accurately controls the high-speed and precise flat rigid 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.

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.

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 ALN800GH iGE+ in combination with the FJ AWT further increases productivity.

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 EDW technology allows the importation of 3D CAD files and is standard with the ALN iGE+ 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.

The ALN iGE+ 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%.

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. The interior of the tank is made from stainless steel for quick maintenance (unpainted).

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.

STEPCUT2 permits machining at the same speed as under standard conditions while significantly improving the accuracy and range of applications when machining shapes with rapidly changing material thickness, such as stepped shapes.

Sample

Due to the higher speeds and accuracy associated with flat rigid 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.
