Our best estimate for the Sodick ALN400Q is $80,000 - $120,000. 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-sodick-aln400q#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
It depends on the cutting mode. With flushing, Sodick lists 600 × 470 × 240 mm and 500 kg. Submerged, the limit is 600 × 470 × 230 mm and 350 kg. The work tank is 850 × 745 mm and X/Y/Z travel is 400 × 300 × 250 mm.
The ALN600Q steps up to 600 mm of X, 400 mm of Y and 350 mm of Z and weighs 4,200 kg. The ALN400Q has 400 × 300 × 250 mm of travel at 3,100 kg. The smaller machine is the better fit when parts stay within its 600 × 470 mm flushing limit and 500 kg.
Up to ±25° at a plate thickness of 130 mm, using 150 × 150 mm of U/V travel. Sodick gives the angle at that one thickness only, so check the achievable angle for thicker parts close to the 240 mm flushing height limit.
A 3-phase 50/60Hz supply rated at 13 kVA and an installation area of 3,440 × 3,660 mm. The machine itself is 2,190 × 2,425 × 2,205 mm and weighs 3,100 kg, with the table 995 mm above the floor.
Wire from 0.1 to 0.3 mm in diameter, tension from 3 to 23 N and a maximum wire feed of 420 mm/sec. Wire finer than 0.1 mm is not listed for this model, so fine-detail work that needs thinner wire belongs on another machine.
