SODICK ALN400G WIRE EDM MACHINES

Technical Description

The Sodick ALN400G is a high-performance Wire EDM machine featuring rigid linear motor drives for enhanced cutting speed and precision. It incorporates Sodick's advanced Smart Pulse Wire (SPW) CNC control with the Smart Pulse Generator, which optimizes cutting efficiency by reducing the number of cuts while maintaining accuracy and surface finish quality. The machine offers an X-axis travel of 15.75 inches, a Y-axis travel of 11.81 inches, and a Z-axis travel of 9.84 inches, enabling versatile machining within a compact footprint measuring 83.27” x 91.93” x 86.02”. Weighing 7,385 lbs, the ALN400G supports wire diameters ranging from 0.002” to 0.012” and is capable of high-precision cutting with positional accuracy in the micron range and surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.24 μm using specialized wire options like HAYABUSA WIRE®. The control interface integrates the best features of both tablet and classic modes to improve user responsiveness and machining productivity. The built-in 20 kg wire feeder ensures safe and efficient wire handling. This model is ideal for machining complex shapes with tight tolerance requirements, delivering reduced cycle times and lower operational costs in machining hardened materials such as SKD11 steel with cutting accuracies up to ±0.00012” and surface roughness around 8 RMS. The ALN400G is recognized as a market-leading Wire EDM solution for precision manufacturing environments requiring a balance of speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency.
