Entry-Level EDM Sink Machine from Sodick

2008-11-05

The AD3L EDM sink machine from Sodick makes the accuracy, speed and performance of linear motor drive machines such as the AQ Series models available to a far wider range of customers than has ever been possible before.

One of the key advantages of the AD3L is its use of integrated high speed linear motors to maintain optimal discharge frequency and so achieve maximum machining speed. The Sodick linear motor provides high speed and high positioning accuracy without backlash, while responsiveness, stability, and performance are not diminished over time and remain maintenance-free.

At the same time, the design of the machine, including its optimized rib arrangement, dramatically increases rigidity and so provides optimum speed and acceleration.

The AD3L features Sodick's latest "LN" power supply unit, increasing its capabilities for high-speed, high precision and high-efficiency machining. In addition, the machine is equipped with "LN assist", automatic programming function, as standard.

The integrated SVC circuit enables “no-polish” finishing for difficult-to-polish forms, contributing to shorter processes, improved quality, and prolonged stability.
