Sodick’s Creativity
In-house Development of Core Technologies
for the World Best Manufacturing
“If it does not exit in this world, we will create it” – This is our development philosophy at Sodick. In the world of “Manufacturing”,
every day is the constant challenge of problem solving. However, when trying to solve the problem, we often face the challenge that
cannot be overcome with existing technologies and products. And when we try to overcome such challenge, only solution to the
problem is “creating the new techologies by ourselves”. All of our technologies that are now everywhere in the “Manufacturing” world
such as “NC EDM” and “Linear Motor Drive EDM” have been developed with our passion to “create the best product for fulfilling
society” of all of our customers. As well-described our mission “Total Manufacturing Solution”, the direction of the technical innovation
in today’s world is heading to total support for all process in “Manufacturing”, from design to final production. Sodick will continue to
listen to our customers, always challenge to our best, and contribute to “Fulfilling future creation” and “Manufacturing” in the world.

Creativity
Always committing to “Manufacturing /
Future Creation” from Customers’ Standpoint
From our customers’ standpoint, Sodick Group is implementing “Manufacturing / Future Creation” in which our production and
development takes place in the best location with the best method. By integrating our in-house developed original technologies such
as mechanical structure ferrous casting, ceramic components, CNC and linear motor, we will never compromise in our quality and
bring the best performance machines to our customer at the right price through our outstanding quality control management.

Sodick enhance its linear motor high speed machining
along with its high accuracy and efficient performance
based on three dimensional machining. By controlling
electrical discharge pulse, the desired EDM performance
can be achieved.
SMC (Sodick Motion Controller)
SMC enhances high responsiveness, stability,
maintainability, and credibility with in-house developed
linear motor drive. The performance of our linear motor
achieve its highest potential combined with our motion
controller (SMC) developed by Sodick over the years.
CNC stands for Computerized Numerical Control which
controls the movement of machine tools and robots
through numerical information and servo mechanism.
Outstanding performance of “LQ Power Supplies” is
generated from our CNC developed based on the modern
control theory.
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
Based on the control technology of Sodick Motion
Controller (SMC), we have developed the PLC
(Programmable Logic Control) and its development
software at Sodick America Corporation that can be
applied not only to the sequential control of machine tools
but also to automatic control of wide variety of industrial
machines.
Sodick’s linear motor has direct-drive structure that
abolishes any movement delays and prevents backlash.
Linear motor can achieve high acceleration and
positioning accuracy. Its outstanding dynamic
responsiveness and stable machining accuracy does not
deteriorate nor does it require maintenance, even over a
long operation.
Ceramic Components
Sodick adopts ceramics in the main components such as
workstand table. Those ceramic components are
produced in-house which provides highly accurate
machining with excellent insulation, friction resistance and
rigidity. Since ceramic has low thermal expansion
coefficient, it is superior in its rigidity and stability and it is
an ideal material for high precision machining.
