Frequently Asked Questions: Sodick AGL Series Sinker EDM

How much does the Sodick AGL Series Sinker EDM cost?

Our best estimate for the Sodick AGL Series Sinker EDM is $280,000 - $550,000. 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-ag60l-sinker-edm-v2#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.

What is the difference between the AG40L and the AG60L?

Size and load. The AG40L has 400 x 300 x 270 mm strokes, a 600 x 400 mm table, a 750 x 620 x 350 mm tank and a 550 kg workpiece limit. The AG60L has 600 x 420 x 370 mm, a 750 x 550 mm table, a 950 x 740 x 450 mm tank and 1,500 kg. Both use the TMM3 power supply at 40 A.

What is the AG40LP?

A variant of the AG40L with a lower suspended electrode limit, 20 kg against 50 kg, and a machine depth of 2,407 mm against 2,440 mm. The series table gives it no separate travels, table or tank figures, so confirm those with Sodick if they matter to the job.

What power and air do the AGL Series machines need?

A 200/220 V, 50/60 Hz 3-phase supply with 10 kVA total electric capacity, and compressed air at 0.65 MPa and 100 NL/min. The figures are the same for the AG40L and the AG60L.

What control does the AGL Series Sinker EDM use?

An OS built-in multitasking NC unit using the K-SMC-LINK method, with a 15-inch TFT-LCD touch panel, 100,000 blocks of editing and 30 MB of storage. It controls up to 4 axes simultaneously, with feedback from linear scales in a full closed loop.

How much EDM oil do the AG40L and AG60L need?

The AG40L needs 285 L of electric discharge machining oil, or 330 L with the service tank. The AG60L needs 465 L, or 560 L with the service tank. Both use a replaceable paper filter.
