Our best estimate for the Sodick AP30L is $120,000 - $200,000. 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-ap30l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
The table is 19.69 in × 13.78 in (500 × 350 mm) and the workpiece limit is 440.9 lb (200 kg). The electrode reaches 11.81 in × 9.84 in (300 × 250 mm) of it, and the tank is 27.95 in × 21.26 in × 12.99 in (710 × 540 × 330 mm) inside, so a fixture can be wider than the stroke but must stay inside the tank.
The fluid level is adjustable from 5.12 in to 10.24 in (130 - 260 mm). For submerged burning the feature being cut must sit below the chosen level, so check the height of the cut above the table, not just the overall part height. The reservoir holds 31.70 gal (120 L).
The AD35L travels 13.78 in (350 mm) in X, 9.84 in (250 mm) in Y and 10.63 in (270 mm) in Z on a 23.62 in × 15.74 in (600 × 400 mm) table and weighs 7,054 lb (3,200 kg). The AP30L has 11.81 × 9.84 × 7.87 in (300 × 250 × 200 mm) of travel on a 19.69 in × 13.78 in (500 × 350 mm) table and weighs 7,981 lb (3,620 kg).
The footprint is 44.88 in × 66.14 in × 76.77 in (1,140 × 1,680 × 1,950 mm) and the machine weighs 7,981 lb (3,620 kg). Allow extra space around it for opening the tank, changing filters and reaching the control.
