Compact Wire-cut EDM<br />
with LN2W-Controller
The 5th Generation Linear EDM H<strong>as</strong> Arrived<br />
Since the launch of the world’s first linear EDM machines in 1999, <strong>Sodick</strong> h<strong>as</strong> constantly improved and further<br />
developed <strong>this</strong> unique technology. With over 27,000 machines installed around the world, <strong>this</strong> latest series of EDM<br />
machines represents the 5th generation of <strong>Sodick</strong> linear technologies.<br />
10 years of linear EDM experience and know-how at your finger tips.<br />
2
Employing the linear motor drive system, <strong>Sodick</strong> die-sinker EDMs and wire-cut EDMs have enabled difficult<br />
machining operations that were not possible with conventional ball screw-type EDMs.<br />
The linear motor-driven EDMs, eliminate the need for ball screws and the <strong>as</strong>sociated disadvantages. Use of<br />
the Linear Motor removes the deterioration in machining accuracy caused by worn ball screws throughout the<br />
machine life (more than 10 years). <strong>Sodick</strong> is so confident of the performance and accuracy of their machines<br />
over a 10 year period, that they are the only Manufacturer to offer a 10 year positioning accuracy guarantee<br />
on all Linear EDM Machines.<br />

Since the introduction of the AQ360L/AQ560L <strong>this</strong> machine range w<strong>as</strong> developed from the beginning using<br />
<strong>Sodick</strong>'s in-house made technologies such <strong>as</strong> linear motors, ceramics, c<strong>as</strong>t machine structures and own NC control.<br />
Since 2003 <strong>this</strong> compact range h<strong>as</strong> evolved into today's AQ400L/AQ600L range with over 9,000 machines produced<br />
supporting world manufacturing needs.<br />

High Rigidity<br />
Tech 2<br />
Tech 1<br />
<strong>Sodick</strong>’s expertise in EDM innovation using 3D design systems, the latest CAE technologies<br />
and numerous simulations have made it possible to create an improved b<strong>as</strong>ic machine<br />
structure of optimised rib arrangements which incre<strong>as</strong>e rigidity by approximately 70%.<br />
Deformation is minimised, allowing optimum performance of high-speed and rapid<br />
acceleration linear motors. Furthermore the original design of an independent X<br />
and Y-axis plus an efficient machine layout lead to a longer stroke, smaller footprint<br />
and highly accurate machining capability.<br />
Compact<br />
The rigid c<strong>as</strong>t construction is<br />
mounted on a frame-type platform<br />
allowing the complete machine<br />
and all it's peripherals (Generator,<br />
dielectric system* and chiller Unit)<br />
to moved <strong>as</strong> a complete unit<br />
therefore reducing floor space<br />
and facilitating a simplified<br />
machine installation.<br />

Standard Features<br />
Linear Motor Drive<br />
Tech 3<br />
<strong>Sodick</strong>’s linear motor is a direct drive, vibration free device which h<strong>as</strong><br />
unrivalled acceleration and positioning accuracy with no backl<strong>as</strong>h. Its<br />
high dynamic responsiveness, stability for precision machining, and<br />
performance do not diminish over time and remain maintenance free.<br />
The linear motor achieves even better performance thanks to the<br />
Motion Controller (K-SMC) which <strong>Sodick</strong> h<strong>as</strong> perfected over the years.<br />

Tech 4<br />
The AQ400L and AQ600L wire EDMs are constructed using ceramic components for the<br />
work stand table and critical parts, all of which are built in-house to ensure high precision<br />
machining with better electrical insulation, abr<strong>as</strong>ion resistance and rigidity. Ceramics are<br />
ideal for high precision machining due to their very low thermal expansion co-efficient<br />
(less than one third than that of c<strong>as</strong>t iron), high rigidity and resistance to ageing.<br />
<strong>Sodick</strong>’s New Efficient Power Supply Unit<br />
Tech 5<br />
The AQ wire EDM series profits from <strong>Sodick</strong>’s latest generation of power supply unit, which<br />
is capable of high-speed, high precision and high-efficiency machining. An NC control system<br />
b<strong>as</strong>ed on modern operating system used in conjunction with the power supply delivers<br />
outstanding results. The user interface benefits from a 15” colour touch screen for e<strong>as</strong>e<br />
of use and operation.<br />

With the introduction of new advanced absolute linear gl<strong>as</strong>s scales the need for referencing h<strong>as</strong> been removed.<br />
Therefore, ensuring total positional control at all times and reduced setting up time.<br />
Electrolysis Free Machining<br />
<strong>Sodick</strong> created the electrolysis-free circuit to prevent oxidation, deterioration<br />
and pitting corrosion of the workpiece. A high frequency bipolar pulse p<strong>as</strong>ses<br />
between the electrode and workpiece eliminating bi<strong>as</strong> and allowing ultra<br />
high speed machining without electrolysis.<br />

"FJ AWT" Automatic Wire<br />
Threading<br />
Low Maintenance Tank Seal<br />
Tech 7<br />
This new AWT system allows submerged and non-submerged threading.<br />
Combining thermal wire cut for a straighter wire and a new waterjet function<br />
the reliability of the <strong>Sodick</strong> AWT system h<strong>as</strong> been further improved.<br />
The exclusive use of closed guides on the compact AQ range in combination<br />
with "FJ AWT" further incre<strong>as</strong>es productivity.<br />
2D Form Design and Integrated<br />
Cutting Conditions<br />
Tech 8<br />
Heart NC on-board programming software with CAD file (DXF) import capability<br />
is standard on AQ series. Varying top & bottom contours, involute gears, coreless<br />
forms (pocket machining) and free-form curves can be designed e<strong>as</strong>ily.<br />
Furthermore an integrated datab<strong>as</strong>e of cutting conditions allows the geometry<br />
to be automatically integrated with the cutting conditions. This data is available<br />
for many materials allowing <strong>Sodick</strong>'s expertise to be available to all.<br />
Tech 9<br />
The tank seal flushing function h<strong>as</strong> been introduced to support the machines<br />
capability for high precision stable machining. This also provides for e<strong>as</strong>ier<br />
maintenance and extends the life of the seal.<br />
Taper Flex<br />
Taper Flex is available <strong>as</strong> an option for further advanced high angle taper cutting up to<br />
45°. Taper Flex is e<strong>as</strong>y to use and requires no special training. The function consists of three<br />
parts, high angle guides, and compensation jig and specialised software.<br />
L-Cut (Wire Chopper)<br />
Jumbo Feeder<br />
The wire supply device allows up to 50 kg wire bobbin<br />
<strong>as</strong> standard and supports continuous machining.<br />
Part of the ejected wire is chopped into small pieces for e<strong>as</strong>y disposal.<br />
WS-4P/5P<br />
<strong>Sodick</strong>’s own Rotary Table developed In-house is available <strong>as</strong> an<br />
additional A or B axis for indexing or simultaneous contouring.
