Standard Features - Ensure
Continuous and Unattended
Production
The design of the machine compliments the linear motor drives and
is ideal for automation.
Jumbo Feeder
The wire supply device can fit up
to a 20 kg wire bobbin. This enables
long periods of uninterrupted
machining.
High Speed, Large Capacity, Linear Motor Driven Wire Cut EDM
High Speed Generator
The LN2W high speed generator is standard
on the Sodick AQ Series. Both brass and
coated wire are compatible with this advanced
generator.
Low Maintenance Tank Seal
The tank seal flushing function enables the
machines capability for high precision stable
machining. This function also makes for easier
maintenance and extends the life of the seal.
In response to the growing demands for large dies for items; such as, large flat screen TV's, this series is designed specifically for
machining large size dies for display panel components, as well as, those for aerospace, power generation and automotive parts such
as, turbine hubs, aerofoil vanes, instrument panels and bumpers.
The AQ750L/AQ750LH/AQ900L/AQ1200L use linear motors on all four axes for smooth and accurate motion along all axes. Linear
motors are developed and manufactured by Sodick. Incorporating the linear motor drive system, Sodick wire-cut EDMs have
enabled difficult machining operations that were not possible with conventional ball screw-type EDMs.
The linear motor-driven EDMs, eliminate the need for ball screws by incorporating non-contact drive technology. Use of the Linear
Motor removes the deterioration in machining accuracy caused by worn ball screws. Sodick is so confident of the durability and
accuracy of their machines, that a 10 year positioning accuracy guarantee if offered. Sodick is the only Manufacturer to offer a 10
year positioning accuracy guarantee.
Lower ecological impact
due to energy saving
technologies is incorporated
in all Sodick products.
Super Jet AWT
The automatic wire threader (Super
Jet AWT) with thermal cutting
device is specifically designed for
automated, unattended, multicavity runs.
Flexible Work Holding
Multiple workpieces can be set up at the same time
by using the standard moveable rail on the AQ750L/
AQ750LH/AQ900L. This is an option on the AQ1200L.
L-Cut
(Wire Chopper)
Using the Wire Chopper, the
ejected wire is chopped into
small pieces for easy disposal.
Multi-Filtration System
Vertical Sliding Tank Door
An automatic and ergonomic
vertical drop down tank door
increases work space; making
access for work set-up even easier.
An extensive improvement in filtration capability
makes high speed and accurate machining easier
to achieve.
Core Technologies
Developed by Sodick for the Highest Level of Manufacturing
Starting with the development of electrical discharge circuits, Sodick has continued to pursue the highest possible level of
accuracy, speed and versatility in machining. As a result, the technology for CNC units, fine ceramics, linear motors, motion
controllers and the electrical discharge power supply have been established as core technologies for Sodick.
CNC Unit + Discharge Unit
The AQ Series features Sodick’s latest LN power supply unit capable of high speed,
high precision and high efficiency machining. A CNC system based on the modern
control theory is used in conjunction with the LN Series and achieves outstanding
results. Performance of the electrical discharge unit is achieved by controlling the
method and duration of the energy pulses.
Linear Motor Drive + Motion Controller
Sodick's linear motors are a direct-drive, vibration-free device which features unrivalled acceleration, positioning accuracy
and no backlash. The linear motors high dynamic responsive stability for precision machining and performance will not
diminish over time and remain maintenance-free. Linear motors achieve even greater performance thanks to the Sodick
motion controller which has been perfected over the years.

Sodick Motion Controller
With a linear motor drive system, there is no mechanical
connection between the linear motor drives and the table;
unlike ball-screw drives, which can incur costly repairs in the
event of a collision.
Automatic Machining Condition
Selection
A database within the machine contains details on the
best conditions for a particular wire diameter, workpiece
material or workpiece thickness and ensures the best possible
machining results. The operator can make use of the extensive
conditions provided by Sodick or add their own conditions to
suit unusual applications.
Your Sodick Control: For Every Day
All Day Support
Designing cutting form tools using 2D Form Design is made possible
by the LN Series Control. Varying top and bottom contours, involute
gears, coreless forms (pocket machining) and free-form curves can be
designed easily. Furthermore, data created in DXF format can easily
be imported and converted into a machining program.
Linear Scale
Linear Motor
Sodick's anti-collision circuit protects the machine from
accidental collisions. The circuit constantly monitors voltage in
the axes drives. When voltage exceeds a pre-determined load,
the machine will stop and give the operator an error message.

Ceramic Components
The AQ Series is constructed using ceramic components for the work-stand
table and other critical parts, all of which are built to ensure high precision
machining with better electrical insulation, abrasion resistance and rigidity.
Ceramics are ideal for high precision machining due to their low thermal
expansion coefficient (less than one third than that of cast iron), high rigidity
and resistance to ageing.
No need to return at night or on weekends to check the status of the
machine. A standard LAN interface allows operators to monitor the
main functions of the machine by accessing the control remotely.
