Our best estimate for the Sodick AG1200L is $450,000 – $750,000. 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-ag1200l-wire-edm#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
No. The AG1200L is not in Sodick's current lineup and may be an older model. Its table could not be checked against Sodick's documents, so confirm the travels, the control and the threading system on the actual machine before buying.
Up to 1750 x 1300 x 500 mm and 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). The wire reaches 1200 x 800 mm (47.2 x 31.5 in) of it in X and Y, with 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z, so a plate can be larger than the cutting area as long as every cut lies within the stroke.
The listed maximum is ±30° over 100 mm height, with ±120 mm (±4.7 in) of U/V travel. On thicker sections the U/V stroke sets the limit, so check the angle you need at your actual plate thickness.
Brass or coated wire from 0.1 to 0.3 mm. The listed cutting speed of 500 mm²/min was given for 50 mm steel with 0.3 mm wire; thinner wire cuts more slowly, and other materials and thicknesses give different rates.
