SODICK AQ537L WIRE EDM MACHINE

Technical Description

The Sodick AQ537L Wire EDM Machine is a high-precision CNC electrical discharge machine designed for intricate metal cutting applications. It features an X-axis travel of 22 inches, Y-axis travel of 15 inches, and Z-axis travel of 14 inches, with U/V travels of 4.72 inches each, enabling accurate multi-axis machining. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 31 inches long, 20 inches wide, and 11 inches high, with a maximum weight capacity of 3,300 lbs. It supports taper cutting up to ±25 degrees at a 3.1-inch workpiece thickness, allowing for complex geometries. The inside tank dimensions measure 41.3 inches by 28.7 inches, providing ample space for submerged cutting operations. Powered by a 208V 3-phase electrical system, the AQ537L is equipped with the advanced Sodick LQ33W control unit, which offers intuitive operation and compatibility with 3D solid models. Standard features include a chiller for dielectric fluid temperature control, automatic wire threading for increased efficiency, a rise/fall tank for easy workpiece loading, submersible flushing for improved cutting performance, a dielectric filtration system for maintaining fluid quality, and a wire chopper for convenient wire disposal. The machine utilizes linear motors and glass scales for superior accuracy and repeatability, making it ideal for demanding manufacturing environments requiring high precision and reliability.
