SODICK A320D WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The SODICK A320D is a precision wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) designed for high-accuracy cutting applications. This CNC-controlled system features X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 12.5, 7.8, and 6.8 inches respectively, enabling versatile workpiece positioning and complex taper cutting up to ±10 degrees. The machine accommodates maximum workpiece dimensions of 21.2 x 14.1 x 6.8 inches with a load capacity of 770 pounds, making it suitable for medium-sized precision components. Equipped with the SODICK MARK EX-21 CNC control system featuring a color CRT display, this machine delivers intuitive operation and precise machining control. The submerged cutting capability ensures optimal dielectric fluid contact for superior surface finish and extended wire life. Wire diameter compatibility ranges from 0.004 to 0.012 inches, accommodating various cutting requirements. The integrated dielectric fluid cooling and filtration unit maintains optimal working conditions for consistent performance and longer wire electrode life. The submersible flushing system enhances debris removal and cutting efficiency. Operating on a 40-amp power supply with 200/220V, three-phase electrical requirements, this machine delivers a performance rating of approximately 18 square inches per minute. The total machine weight of approximately 2,420-2,820 pounds ensures stability during operation. While featuring automatic wire threading on some variants, this configuration emphasizes manual threading capability. The compact footprint of 46.7 x 44.5 x 70 inches facilitates integration into standard shop environments, making it an efficient solution for precision wire-cut EDM applications.
