Our best estimate for the Sodick AQ15L is $450,000 - $600,000. 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-aq15l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
Sodick lists the Y travel as 1,500(+500) mm: 1,500 mm with a further 500 mm shown in brackets. The table does not say how the extra 500 mm is obtained, so ask Sodick whether it is standard or an option and whether it covers the full Z range.
The AQ20L lists 1,200 mm of X and 2,000 mm of Y with 600 mm of Z. The AQ15L has 900 mm of X, Y of 1,500(+500) mm and the same 600 mm of Z, with a 10,000 kg workpiece and 100 kg electrode limit.
The footprint is 3,050 × 5,295 × 4,220 mm. Beyond the floor area, check ceiling height over the 4,220 mm machine, crane capacity for loading workpieces up to 10,000 kg, and a foundation suitable for the machine plus a full load.
