Our best estimate for the Sodick AQ1500L is $600,000 - $850,000. 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-aq1500l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
The AQ1200L has 47.24 in (1,200 mm) of X, 31.50 in (800 mm) of Y and 15.75 in (400 mm) of Z and weighs 24,251 lb (11,000 kg). The AQ1500L extends all three, to 59.05 in (1,500 mm), 39.37 in (1,000 mm) and 23.62 in (600 mm), and weighs 33,069 lb (15,000 kg).
Sodick's table gives 17,760 lb (8,000 kg). Those two numbers do not match exactly when converted, so confirm with Sodick which is the rated figure before planning a job near the limit.
Floor space of 220.47 in × 174.60 in (5,600 × 4,435 mm), headroom for a machine 115.35 in (2,930 mm) tall plus crane clearance for loading, and a foundation for 33,069 lb (15,000 kg). The table does not list a power requirement.
U/V travel is listed as 59.84 in × 40.16 in (1,520 × 1,020 mm), but no maximum taper angle is given. Ask Sodick for the angle that can be held at the plate thickness you plan to cut, especially on tall work near the 23.62 in (600 mm) Z limit.
