SODICK AQ327L WIRE EDM MACHINE

The Sodick AQ327L is a precision CNC wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) system designed for high-accuracy cutting of complex geometries in hard materials. This 5-axis machine features X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 15, 11, and 10 inches respectively, with additional U/V-axis capability for taper cutting up to 25 degrees. The machine accommodates wire diameters ranging from 0.006 to 0.012 inches, with optional high-precision capabilities extending to 0.004 inches. Equipped with the advanced Sodick LQ1W CNC control system, the machine incorporates a Windows operating system and 15-inch SVGA LCD monitor for intuitive operation and real-time graphics rendering. The fully submerged wire cutting process utilizes a 158-gallon dielectric tank with a complete filtration system and automatic temperature control chiller, ensuring consistent machining conditions. The machine features automatic high-speed wire threading for reduced setup time and improved productivity. The system includes a robust 40-amp power supply and transformer, requiring 220 volts at 13kVA input. The drop tank design and 3-sided submersible flushing system facilitate efficient debris removal. With a table load capacity of 1,000 pounds and maximum workpiece dimensions of approximately 22.4 x 16.5 x 9.5 inches, this machine is suitable for prototyping, tool making, and small-to-medium production runs. The LQ1W control offers advanced features including pitch error compensation, torque compensation for each axis, and multi-file editing capabilities during machining operations.
