Our best estimate for the Sodick AD55L is $200,000 - $280,000. This is an estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class, not a quote from Sodick; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/sodick-sodick-ad55l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
Both have a 750 × 550 mm table and 23.62 in (600 mm) of X. The AD55L has 15.75 in (400 mm) of Y and Z; the AL60G has 16.54 in (420 mm) of Y and 14.57 in (370 mm) of Z, takes heavier workpieces at 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) and weighs 11,794.73 lb (5,350 kg) against 10,140 lb (4,600 kg).
Up to 2,204 lb (1,000 kg) on a 29.53 in × 21.65 in (750 × 550 mm) table. The tank is 1,200 × 800 × 500 mm, so a part can overhang the table inside the tank, but anything machined fully submerged must sit below the 17.72 in (450 mm) maximum fluid level.
The dielectric system holds 470 L. The fluid level in the 47.25 in × 31.50 in × 19.69 in (1,200 × 800 × 500 mm) tank adjusts from 6.69 in to 17.72 in (170 - 450 mm), so shallow work does not need the tank filled to the top.
The machine measures 91.93 in × 91.54 in × 107.09 in (2,335 × 2,325 × 2,720 mm) and weighs 10,140 lb (4,600 kg). The table is 35.43 in (900 mm) above the floor, so plan a hoist for heavy plates.
