Large Linear Motor Wire EDM from Sodick
2008-11-05
Sodick’s large linear motor wire EDM machine, the AQ900L, developed from the very successful AQ750L, utilizes the latest and most advanced wire EDM technology and features optimised 3D design using CAE analysis.
The AQ900L Premium offers the smallest footprint of machines of its class, while providing an ultra-high-rigidity structure due to its unique fixed table design and the integration of both electrical and mechanical equipment in one unit. An optimum rib arrangement, based on the latest design technology, ensures that the machine that can handle even very heavy work-pieces.
The AQ900L also incorporates Q3-vic software, allowing users to directly import 3D solid models with error free data conversion, optimised CNC programming and reduced set up procedure. In addition, the machine incorporates high accuracy linear motors with Sodick motion controllers on X, Y, U and V axis and a "Thermal Multi Fit System" capable of coping with large temperature changes in the work environment.
A wide variety of machining shapes can be achieved due to the AQ900L’s high-thickness machining capability, supported by Sodick’s "Tension Servo Function", providing efficient machining in a minimum number of cuts. Sodick’s revolutionary “Taper Flex” advanced taper compensation software means it is possible to achieve high accuracy on large taper areas and to greatly improve surface finish for wide angles.
