Wire EDM Built for Rigidity
The AQ400L wire EDM from Sodick features X-, Y- and Z-axis travel of 15.75” x 11.81” x 9.84” and ceramic components that increase machine rigidity.
The AQ400L wire EDM from Sodick features X-, Y- and Z-axis travel of 15.75” x 11.81” x 9.84” and ceramic components that increase machine rigidity. According to the company, the machine features a 10-year positioning accuracy guarantee on its linear motor drives. In addition, the wire EDM features the FJ (fixed-jet) AWT, which is said to feature a reliable threading rate for both submerged and non-submerged threading. A tension servo function controls and stabilizes the wire tension during machining to increase accuracy.
