Summary

The Sodick AL800P is a 4-axis linear motor-driven wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) designed for high-precision and high-speed machining of large parts and molds. Its core function is precision material removal using wire EDM technology, achieved with a backlash-free linear motor system and advanced thermal compensation features. The AL800P supports large workpiece dimensions and incorporates a range of process technologies for stable, efficient multi-axis machining with minimized thermal displacement.
