Our best estimate for the Sodick AQ20L is $550,000 - $750,000. 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-aq20l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
The AQ15L lists 900 mm of X, Y of 1,500(+500) mm and 600 mm of Z on a 3,050 × 5,295 × 4,220 mm footprint. The AQ20L has 1,200 mm of X, 2,000 mm of Y and the same 600 mm of Z, and needs 3,550 × 5,785 × 4,220 mm.
The electrode reaches 1,200 × 2,000 mm in X and Y with 600 mm of Z, and the workpiece limit is 10,000 kg. Sodick's table does not give the table or tank size, so ask for both before assuming a plate of that size fits between the tank walls.
The machine is 3,550 × 5,785 × 4,220 mm. Check floor loading for the machine plus a 10,000 kg plate, crane capacity and hook height over a 4,220 mm machine, and how 100 kg electrodes will be lifted to the head.
