Linear Motor Driven Z-Axis

Sodick’s Linear Motor Drive is on the Z-Axis of the K1BL Hole Popper. It is ideal to make microscopic holes that have been impossible to make with conventional machines. In addition, the highly responsive servo system boosts machining speed and reduces electrode wear.

Highly Rigid – Gantry Style Structure

The K1BL achieves microscopic holes. The gantry style structure has a main column that is supported by two columns that feature high rigidity and stable machining at all times. Thermal distortion is eliminated due to the structure of the machine. This allows for constant accuracy

Eco-Friendly

The K Series features energy-saving designs and technologies. Compared to conventional EDMs, the Sodick Small Hole EDM Range can reduce average energy consumption by up to 60%.

ATC (Automatic Tool Changer)

The ATC automatically changes pipe electrodes to support continuous automatic operations and multi-hole machining.
