Sodick’s high-precision AG600LH wire EDM incorporates an additional Z height. The high speed CNC machine is equipped with direct-drive linear motors with Heidenhain absolute glass scale feedback, on-board Heart NC cam system and a rise-fall work tank. The motion controller provides simultaneous axis movement, while an energy-saving circuit is said to reduce power consumption.
Sodick will also display its AG60L sinker EDM and VZ300L wire EDM.
