Die-Sinker EDM Series Fits Needs for Enhanced Automation, Speed, Surface Finish
The Sodick ALG EDM series doubles motor response speed for the development of accurate, high-quality molds, and is equipped with automated features for continuous operations.
Combining the power of discharge control technology with rigid linear motor control and the latest artificial intelligence (AI), the Sodick Inc. ALG die-sinker EDM series provides stable machining for every product, every time, the company reports. Improved performance and faster machining speeds are additional features inherent to the product series.
When it comes to making accurate, high-quality molds, the ALG Series uses a newly developed SP Power Supply to double motor response speed, improving the quality and speed across the entire discharge machining range. These machines also incorporate the Arc-less 4 circuit to greatly reduce electrode wear, improving speed and surface finish.
With an ever-growing demand for automation in job shops, Sodick says its ALG sinker series was designed to fit a wide range of automation needs. It is equipped with a three-sided, automatic vertical machining tank controlled automatically and has a high affinity with workpiece/electrode replacement systems using automatic electrode changers or robots, enabling continuous automatic operation with high-precision and high-speed machining.
