Our best estimate for the Sodick AQ327L is $150,000 - $200,000. 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-aq327l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
It does not appear in Sodick's current lineup and is probably an older model. A machine bought today will most likely be second-hand, so check its condition, its LQ controller and the availability of parts with Sodick before committing.
The listed limits are 300 kg (661 lb) and 220 mm (8.66 in) of height on a 570 x 420 mm (22.4 x 16.5 in) table. X and Y travel are 327 mm (12.9 in) and 220 mm (8.66 in).
Wire from 0.10 to 0.25 mm in diameter, and a taper range of ±15° over an 80 mm height. Thicker parts may not reach the full angle, so check the taper you need against the actual machine.
The AL400G has 400 mm of X, 300 mm of Y and 250 mm of Z and weighs 3,400 kg. The AQ327L is listed with 327 mm (12.9 in), 220 mm (8.66 in) and 220 mm (8.66 in) of travel at approx. 2,900 kg (6,393 lb), so it suits smaller parts.
