Summary

The Sodick ALN800GH is a linear motor-driven wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) system designed for high-precision contouring of conductive materials. Its core function is to cut complex shapes via controlled electrical discharge, with a focus on large workpiece capacity and advanced multi-axis motion. Key differentiators include glass scale feedback on all axes, Smart Pulse Generator for reduced finishing passes, and thermal compensation systems.

Key Capabilities

• 5-axis (X, Y, U, V, Z) independent motion with flat rigid linear motor drives and glass scales
• Capable of machining large parts up to 800mm in Z-height
• Smart Pulse Generator minimizes number of required finishing cuts
• Automatic Wire Threading (AWT) with submerged and non-submerged threading options
• Intelligent Q³vic automatic CAD/CAM programming for 3D file imports
• Thermal displacement compensation and diagnostics
• Precision taper angle machining (up to 22° and 45° with options)
• Closed-guide wire system for stability and productivity
• On-board Windows-based control with 19" touchscreen and remote access support
• High voltage HTP circuit for improved efficiency with PCD and similar materials
