Our best estimate for the Sodick K4HL is $120,000 - $170,000. 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-k4hl#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
The table lists a W axis with 400 mm of travel in addition to 500 mm of Z. It does not say how the two combine, so ask Sodick how they set the maximum part height and electrode length before quoting tall parts.
The K3HS has 300 mm of X, 400 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z on a 480 × 790 mm table, for 300 kg. The K4HL has more X and Z, 400 mm and 500 mm, a 750 × 650 mm table and a 500 kg limit, but less Y at 300 mm.
A footprint of 1,500 × 2,300 mm and a height of 3,000 mm. Check ceiling height, crane or hoist access for parts up to 500 kg, and space around the table for loading and setting.
