The AL80G is a state-of-the-art Sinker EDM that leverages Sodick’s core advancements in electrical discharge machining technology. This machine is defined by its use of flat, rigid linear motors on all X, Y, and Z axes, paired with absolute linear scales to ensure high-speed, high-response machining and guaranteed long-term positioning accuracy. Sodick provides a 10-year guarantee on this positioning accuracy, a testament to the machine’s robust design and ceramic components.

At the heart of the AL80G is the newly developed SP controller and SP Power Supply, which significantly improve communication speed and throughput. This power supply incorporates the optimized pulse control TMM4 and the Arc-less 4 circuit to suppress electrode wear and achieve an exceptional range of surface finishes, from fine satin to perfect mirror quality. For operational intelligence, it includes the LN Professional AI software for automatic optimum condition search. Furthermore, the machine features Thermal Commit (TH COM) technology, which precisely corrects for thermal displacement caused by temperature changes in the environment or during high-speed operation, ensuring sustained accuracy across its large working envelope. With travel specifications of 33-46 inch X-travel, 20-47 inch Y-travel, and a generous 6-614 lb (3-000 kg) maximum workpiece weight, the AL80G is ideal for processing large-scale molds and dies.
