Our best estimate for the Sodick AQ900L is $300,000 - $420,000. 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-aq900l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
The AQ1200L moves up to 47.24 in (1,200 mm) of X and 31.50 in (800 mm) of Y on the same 15.75 in (400 mm) of Z, and weighs 24,251 lb (11,000 kg) against 17,637 lb (8,000 kg) for the AQ900L. If parts fit within 35.43 in × 23.62 in (900 × 600 mm), the AQ900L is the smaller and lighter install.
It depends on the shape of the work. The ALN800G has 31.50 in (800 mm) of X, 23.62 in (600 mm) of Y and 19.69 in (500 mm) of Z and weighs 12,125 lb (5,550 kg). The AQ900L trades Z for X, with 35.43 in (900 mm) of X and 15.75 in (400 mm) of Z.
Sodick lists U/V travel of 36.22 in × 24.41 in (920 × 620 mm) for this model but no taper angle. Because the U/V figure is larger than the X/Y travel, it does not tell you the taper limit directly; ask Sodick for the maximum angle at your plate thickness.
The machine is 93.70 in × 124.02 in × 94.29 in (2,380 × 3,150 × 2,395 mm) and weighs 17,637 lb (8,000 kg). The table is 41.34 in (1,050 mm) above the floor. With no power rating in the table, the electrical requirement has to come from Sodick.
