Wire EDMs have X,Y,U,V linear motor drives

Sodi-Tech edm product story

Offering features that are seen on more expensive models, latest wire EDMs have X,Y,U,V linear motor drives with glass scale feedback, automatic dielectric level float switch and LCD monitor.
Once again Sodick has brought new technology to a major exhibition, this time with its new AQ300L and AQ327L wire EDM machines which had their debut in September at IMTS 2004, the biennial trade exhibition held in Chicago.
The new AQ300L offers affordable and submersible wire EDM and is based on the industry-proven Sodick Linear Motor EDM platform.
The machine comes with many features that are seen on more expensive models, including X,Y,U,V linear motor drives with glass scale feedback, automatic dielectric level float switch, electrolysis free circuit and a large LCD monitor.
The AQ327L is the latest in Sodick's completely newly designed wire EDM machines.
The submersible AQ327L has a three-sided rise/fall worktank, which allows more room for the operator during set up.
Standard features include X,Y,U,V linear motor drives with glass scale feedback, automatic dielectric level float switch, electrolysis free circuit, and an automatic wire-threader.
The 3D LQ1W control contains both CAD and CAM software, allowing the operator to input 3D CAD files directly into the control and convert it into NC code thus eliminating any potential programming errors.
Sodick's new LQ Control, the 3D Qvic3 Solution, was also on display.
This new control allows three dimensional production strategy for the overall optimization for both wire and sinker EDMs.
Using Windows XP based controllers; the operator can view the machining process in 3D solid model graphics.
The new LQ control also vastly increases the cutting speed of both wire and sinker EDMs and is standard on all wire and sinker machines.
Sodick's new linear milling machine was also on show; with its compact design, requiring very little floor space, it has a rigid structure resulting in a high-dynamic response with a 1G axis acceleration rate and a 40,000 rev/min spindle speed.
These high-speed centres also feature state-of-the-art control technology based on Windows and the Sodick Motion Control closed regulating system.
