Summary

The Sodick AQ900L is a large-format wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) system designed for precision cutting of large dies and complex components using linear motor drives. It achieves highly accurate straight and taper cuts through direct glass scale feedback on all axes and submerged machining capability, making it suitable for demanding die and mold applications. Key differentiators include backlash-free linear motor movement, automatic wire tension servo control, and a user-friendly LN Series network-capable control.

Key Capabilities

• Linear motor drives on X, Y, U, and V axes for vibration-free, backlash-free movement
• Glass scale feedback and direct positional measurement on all axes
• Submerged machining for improved thermal stability and taper accuracy
• Automatic wire tension servo control with adjustment at entry to the cutting zone
• High-speed, electrolysis-free power supply
• LN Series Control with automatic cutting condition generation and remote monitoring option
• Large work envelope, suitable for workpieces up to 2,000 kg
• Energy-saving design with up to 60% reduced average energy consumption compared to conventional EDMs
• 10-year positioning accuracy guarantee on linear motor drive system
• Optional rotary table support (WS4P or WS5P)
