Our best estimate for the Sodick VLP600Q is $320,000 - $430,000. 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-vlp600q#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
It does not appear in Sodick's current lineup and may be an older model. The listed figures could not be checked against a manufacturer source, so confirm travels, generator and control on the machine itself before buying.
The listed limits are 800 kg and 275 mm in height, on an 800 x 600 mm table with 600 mm of X, 400 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z travel. Allow room for clamps and the guide heads when sizing a part against those figures.
The listed table gives Ra 0.05 µm, with a VLP digital ultra-low-power generator at 4A peak in fine-finish mode. On a used machine the finish depends on the generator, condition library and wire path being in order, so ask for a sample cut in your own material.
Both list 600 mm of X and 400 mm of Y. The AL600G lists 350 mm of Z and 4,600 kg, against 300 mm and 5,800 kg for the VLP600Q.
