The SODICK ALN600GH is a rigid linear motor-driven, high-performance wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) engineered for precision cutting and superior positioning accuracy. This CNC-controlled system features Sodick's latest SmartPulse Wire (SPW) control technology, which enhances cutting speed and precision while improving overall productivity. The machine incorporates Sodick's proprietary rigid linear motor drives on the X, Y, U, and V axes, eliminating friction, wear, and backlash for frictionless, non-contact axis movement. Coupled with glass scales on multiple axes, this design ensures exceptional cutting precision and maintains positioning accuracy with Sodick's industry-leading 10-year guarantee. The ALN600GH offers work envelope dimensions of 23.6" (X-axis), 15.75" (Y-axis), and 19.69" (Z-axis) travel, accommodating workpieces up to 2,205 lbs. The machine measures 111.02" × 105.71" × 104.17" and weighs 9,920 lbs, making it a substantial production-floor asset. It features an automatic drop-tank for convenient part setup and includes Sodick's "Intelligent Qvic" programming software for seamless programming from solid models or DXF files. The ALN600GH incorporates energy-saving technologies that reduce average consumption by up to 60% compared to conventional EDMs. Additional capabilities include a fixed-jet automatic wire threader (AWT) system supporting both submerged and non-submerged threading, advanced wire tension control, and a thermally stable ceramic work zone for consistent performance.
