Sodick AP3L

Linear Motors are standard on the AP3L Sinker EDM. Linear motors provide smooth, vibration-free table movement, which results in unsurpassed positioning and machining accuracy. Since there are no ball-screws or couplings, backlash and lost motions is completely eliminated. With the use of linear glass scales on the X, Y and Z axes, precise positioning accuracy with direct feedback is accomplished. The Linear Motors come withSodick’s 10-Year Positioning Guarantee. The New LN Series power supply unit incorporates all functions necessary for high-speed, high-precision and high-efficiency RAM EDMing. It incorporates a CF card for data storage to enhance reliability and to save energy. The ease of operation has been further enhanced with the newly designed operation and control panel, which provides touch-screen operation and LAN function. The LN professional automatic programming system offers a wide variety of machining shape patterns that can be used in various kinds of machining. The AP Series features energy-saving designs and technologies. Compared to conventional EDMs, the Sodick Sinker EDM Range can reduce average energy consumption by up to 60%. The SVC Circuit is standard on the AP Series Sinker Electrical Discharge Machine. It enhances the cutting speed (finishes) by 2-4 times, provides a uniform discharge pulse to the polarity. The surface roughness has largely improved as well as boosted the machining speed.
