The Sodick AG100L is an industrial-grade CNC Wire & Sinker EDM powered by the Sodick LQ controller. a top spindle speed of 0 RPM, and a 3-axis kinematic layout. It supports standardized digital factory monitoring via MTConnect.
Sodick AG100L, an older model: listed 5,000 kg part weight and 2,100 x 1,250 x 650 mm tank, but conflicting travels and wire/sinker rows to confirm.

Our best estimate for the Sodick AG100L is $280,000 - $380,000. This is an estimate for a wire 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-ag100l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
The listed figures do not settle it. Wire diameter, taper and wire threading rows point to a wire EDM; an electrode weight of 100 kg (220 lb) and a work-tank fluid level point to a sinker EDM. Check the nameplate and manual of the machine on offer.
The table gives two answers: 1,000 x 800 x 300 mm and 1,200 x 650 x 500 mm. They cannot both be right, so measure the strokes on the machine before quoting work for it.
11,023 lbs (5,000 kg), the one capacity figure that appears consistently. The work tank is listed at 2,100 x 1,250 x 650 mm, and the table top at 37.0" (940 mm) above the floor.
The listed machine size is 150.39" x 165.35" x 131.49" (3,820 x 4,200 x 3,340 mm) and the weight 27,557.78 lbs (12,500 kg). Air is listed at 0.65 MPa. Confirm the electrical supply from the machine's own documentation.
