SODICK AQ1200L WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The Sodick AQ1200L Wire EDM machine is a high-precision CNC wire electrical discharge machine designed for large-scale and high-accuracy machining. It features a direct-drive linear motor system on the X, Y, U, and V axes, coupled with glass scale feedback, delivering frictionless, vibration-free motion with unrivaled acceleration, positioning accuracy, and zero backlash. This system ensures consistent precision over time and is backed by a 10-year positioning guarantee. The machine's travels measure 1200 mm in X, 800 mm in Y, with 400 mm Z-axis travel (expandable to 600 mm), and U/V-axis travels of approximately 1220 x 820 mm, accommodating workpieces up to 4000 kg. Its advanced LP2WH power supply unit incorporates “Perfect Active Control” technology, enabling simultaneous high-speed electrical discharge and axis movement managed through 1 Gbit/sec serial communication for optimized machining control. The AQ1200L includes the Super Jet Annealing high-speed automatic wire threader (AWT) with expanded wire connection modes, automatic tension servo control, and a wire tip disposal unit, ensuring operational efficiency and minimal downtime. The machine supports wire diameters ranging from 0.15 to 0.33 mm and wire speeds up to 420 mm/sec. Its integrated structure optimizes the installation space and machining area, with total dimensions approximately 161.42" x 152.36" x 98.03" and a weight around 24,251 lbs. Operator interface enhancements include a user-friendly keyboard, remote control, and Intelligent Q3Vic EDW software, allowing direct import of 3D CAD models to CNC programs, significantly reducing setup time and boosting productivity. Overall, the AQ1200L combines durability, power efficiency, and advanced controls to meet the demands of precision wire EDM machining for large components.
