Summary

The Sodick AP250L is a high-precision wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) that performs non-contact contour cutting of conductive materials using linear motor drive technology on all axes. It is designed to produce fine, complex features and surface finishes in difficult-to-machine materials such as carbide, and eliminates cobalt depletion when using oil dielectric. Differentiating features include an oil-based Eco-Cut O system, an annealing high speed automatic wire threader, and a rigid linear motor drive with glass scale feedback for consistent long-term positioning accuracy.

Key Capabilities

• Wire EDM cutting with oil or water dielectric for carbide and other conductive materials
• Eco-Cut O technology to eliminate cobalt depletion during carbide machining
• Linear motor drives on X, Y, U, and V axes for backlash-free motion
• Glass scale feedback system for precision and long-term accuracy
• Automatic annealing wire threader functioning in submerged mode
• Three-sided rise/fall worktank for ergonomic access and setup flexibility
• Advanced corner control and motion controller for complex geometry machining
• 1 Gbit/sec serial communication for synchronized discharge and motion control
