The Sodick VZ500L is a high-precision CNC wire EDM machine featuring Sodick's LN2W control system. It offers an X-axis travel of 19.7 inches, Y-axis travel of 13.8 inches, and Z-axis travel of 9.8 inches, with additional U and V axis travels of ±3.15 inches, enabling complex tapering with a maximum angle of ±15 degrees. The machine supports workpieces up to 38" x 26" x 10" with a maximum weight capacity of 1,874 lbs. It utilizes fine wire diameters ranging from 0.005" to 0.011" for precision cutting. The VZ500L is equipped with direct-drive linear motors and linear glass scale feedback on the X, Y, U, and V axes, ensuring superior positioning accuracy and repeatability. The Super Jet Automatic Wire Threader (AWT) enhances wire threading performance, even in submerged conditions or on thick workpieces. Additional features include a high-speed electrolysis-free circuit, ceramic components for improved durability, dielectric cooling unit, and Sodick’s Fine Corner Control for sharp corner machining. Its construction includes a sizeable 39" x 30" tank, a linear motor cooling unit, remote controller, and wire end remover for operational convenience and maintenance reduction. The machine's dimensions measure approximately 91" x 102" x 80" and it weighs 6,490 lbs, making it a robust solution ideal for precise, complex wire EDM machining tasks in mold making, tool and die, and high-accuracy manufacturing applications.
