SODICK SL400Q WIRE EDM MACHINE

The Sodick SL400Q Wire EDM machine is a high-precision CNC-controlled wire electrical discharge machine designed for advanced metal machining tasks. It features a robust structure with dimensions of 81.50" x 94.09" x 83.70" and weighs 7,385 lbs, supporting precision machining with X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 15.75", 11.81", and 9.84" respectively. The machine utilizes proprietary flat rigid linear motor drives on the X, Y, U, and V axes, ensuring backlash-free motion and exceptional positioning accuracy, enhanced by absolute linear scales for precise feedback. This direct-drive system eliminates ball screws, enabling high-speed, highly responsive axis control essential for fine electrode wear minimization and superior surface finishes. The SL400Q integrates advanced EDM technologies such as energy-efficient power supplies and sophisticated servo controls for wire tension and discharge stability, promoting smooth cutting with minimal electrode wear. Its work zone includes a ceramic table and slider with low thermal expansion, maintaining dimensional stability over long machining cycles. The CNC control system provides user-friendly programming and interfaces with modern connectivity options (USB/LAN) for programming file management. Optional features include automatic wire threading, filtration, and dielectric fluid level control for optimal operation. Overall, the SL400Q is engineered to deliver high-quality, precise wire EDM machining suitable for complex shapes and fine-feature manufacturing, balancing productivity with energy-saving innovations and operational reliability.
