The AD35L Sinker EDM stands as a high-performance machine distinguished by Sodick’s proprietary Linear Motor Technology across the X, Y, and Z axes. This flat, rigid linear motor drive system is designed for semi-permanent sustainment of high-speed axes movements without any mechanical contact, resulting in a 10-Year Positioning Accuracy Guarantee.

The machine’s physical structure has been significantly improved using 3D design and CAE technologies, resulting in an approximately 70% increase in rigidity to minimize machine deformation and allow for optimum performance during rapid acceleration. The maximum workpiece weight supported is 1-212 lbs (550 kg) on a 23-62 inch by 15-74 inch (600 mm x 400 mm) work table.

The AD35L maximizes efficiency and finish quality with advanced electrical discharge circuits. The SVC Circuit is standard for achieving *Zero electrode wear (less than 0-06% wear rate) and a uniform no-polish satin surface finish for micro and complex non-forms. Additionally, the new arcless electrical supply discharge circuit enables no arc machining, which dramatically reduces machining time and the number of electrodes required, leading to a significant reduction in overall cost. The machine also features an Eco-Friendly design, reducing average energy consumption by up to 60% compared to conventional EDMs. Operation is simplified by the new LN Controller with LN Assist auto-programming function, making it easy for beginners and experts alike.
