The ALN400G iGE+ is a state-of-the-art Wire EDM machine that integrates Sodick’s most advanced technologies for exceptional efficiency and accuracy. Its foundation is the use of flat rigid linear motor drives on the X, Y, U, and V axes, which work in conjunction with Absolute Linear Scales to ensure precision motion without backlash. This drive system is so reliable that it is supported by Sodick’s industry-leading 10-Year Positioning Accuracy Guarantee.

Cutting performance is optimized by the Smart Pulse Generator and the Smart Pulse Wire (SPW) Control, a next-generation system that reduces necessary cutting passes and provides significant time and financial advantages. The machine’s user experience is streamlined through a tablet-style control featuring a 19-inch LCD touch panel screen. Key features that boost productivity include the patented iGroove+ technology, which rotates the wire during machining to improve surface finish and reduce wire consumption by up to 39 percent, and the high-speed Fixed Jet AWT (Automatic Wire Threader). Furthermore, the Intelligent Q³vic EDW system is a standard feature, allowing for automatic programming by importing 3D CAD files. The machine also promotes an eco-friendly operation with an Energy Saving Circuit that can reduce average energy consumption by up to 60 percent compared to conventional EDM models.
