Summary

The Sodick AD55L is a 3-axis CNC sinker electrical discharge machine (EDM) designed for precision machining of complex shapes and fine details in electrically conductive materials. It employs rigid linear motor drives and advanced discharge technology to deliver high-speed, high-precision cavity and profile formation with minimized electrode wear. Notable features include a linear motor axis, automatic tool changing, and a fine finishing circuit for achieving no-polish, uniform surfaces.

Key Capabilities

• 3-axis motion driven by flat rigid linear motor drives for rapid acceleration and high accuracy
• Capable of achieving less than 0.06% electrode wear using the SVC discharge circuit
• Supports high-quality surface finishes including no-polish micro and non-form areas
• "Arc-less" discharge circuit reduces machining time and electrode consumption
• Shuttle Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) for automated electrode handling
• Glass scale feedback for position control
• C-Axis and R-Axis capability (rotary axes)
