Sodick to Demonstrate Complete Solutions at MACH
Returning to MACH, Sodick Europe, in partnership with sole UK distributor Sodi-Tech EDM, will be located at Stand 350 in Hall 20. The industry leader in EDM will showcase some of its latest die sink EDM, wire EDM, and advanced machining centre technology at the industry’s flagship event at Birmingham NEC from 20th to 24th April.
With a total of six machines at MACH that will provide live demonstrations for show visitors, the event will be a perfect opportunity for UK manufacturers to witness the latest innovations in action. From the die-sinking EDM portfolio, Sodick will introduce the AD55L, a linear motor machine that delivers premium technology in an entry-level platform. The machine combines dynamic linear motor performance with comprehensive features to establish new benchmarks in precision erosion.
At the core of the AD55L is Sodick's proven linear motor technology across all three axes that have travel of 600 by 400 by 400mm in the X, Y, and Z axes with a 0.0001mm step resolution. This advanced drive system, combined with linear scales and the Sodick Motion controller, ensures exceptional accuracy, supported by Sodick's industry-leading 10-year warranty on positional accuracy. The machine's ceramic work zone maintains thermal stability for consistent accuracy, while the comprehensive specifications include a 750 by 550mm ceramic table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,000kg. The work tank features inner dimensions of 1200 by 800 by 500mm, with an 800-litre tank capacity filtered through two replaceable paper elements.
Operational efficiency is improved by the shuttle ATC system featuring six stations for automated electrode changing, C-axis (SEC10) for rotary positioning, and the advanced SGF Plus Circuit for optimised discharge control. The LN Professional control system operates via an intuitive 15-inch TFT touchscreen, while integrated dielectric cooling and automatic voltage regulation maintain consistent processing conditions. Representing the premium line of die sink technology at MACH will be the Sodick AL60G. This exceptional linear motor machine incorporates the advanced SP controller with Smart Pulse generator, Sodick's renowned linear motor technology on the X, Y and Z-axes is complemented by absolute linear scales for superior positioning accuracy backed by Sodick's industry-leading 10-year warranty. Thermal stability is assured, whilst the Sodick Motion Controller with the integrated linear motor cooling unit maintains consistent performance throughout extended production cycles.
The machine's comprehensive specification includes a 750 by 550mm ceramic table capable of handling workpieces up to 1,500kg, with a three-sided rise and fall work tank providing flexible access for component loading and compatible with automation. Machining performance is optimised through the advanced SGF4 Nano-Wear Discharge Unit, complemented by TMM4 and BSN4 finishing circuits for superior surface quality. The intelligent Q³vic EDM system with LN Professional AI software automatically determines optimum machining conditions, whilst the SP controller operates via an intuitive 19-inch TFT colour screen. Optional equipment includes ATC units with up to 32 stations, C-axis (SEC10) for rotary applications, and the SCF72P high-precision rotary head offering 2,000 rpm capability for complex geometries.
Certain to stop MACH visitors in the aisles will be the impressive UX450L high-end machining centre. This ultra-rigid gantry structure machine utilises Sodick’s linear drive technology and proprietary cooling system that minimises thermal displacement and guarantees unprecedented levels of precision and stability for exceptional machining results. Powered by the LNX4 CNC system that is displayed on an intuitive 19-inch touch panel, ease of operation is further enhanced by the SEPTune processing support system that adopts a graphical design platform to optimise programming and machine operation whilst enabling users to make fine adjustments to machining parameters.
