Core Technology
Five Core Technologies Developed In-House For Achieving The World's
Highest Quality Machining
Starting with the development of electrical discharge circuits, Sodick has continued to make untiring efforts in the research and
development of advanced EDMs. Sodick’s philosophy has been the pursuit of the highest level of accuracy, speed and versatility of
machining in order to provide the highest quality products to its customers.
Sodick's: Power Supply Units, Discharge Units, Linear Motors, Motion Controllers and Fine Ceramic Components have evolved as its
five core technologies. These developments have positioned Sodick at the pinnacle of EDM technologies.

Tech 1&2
NC Power Supply Unit + Discharge Unit
The Sodick Die Sinker EDM Series features Sodick's latest ”LN2 series” power supply unit, which is capable of
high-speed, high-precision and high-efficiency machining. The outstanding performance of the LN2 series
power supply is controlled by a modern in-house designed NC system running on a Windows Operating
System. The user interface benefits from a 15” colour touch screen for ease of use and operation.

Tech 3
Linear Motor
The most outstanding features of the Sodick in-house developed and manufactured Linear
Motors are high-speed axis motion and quick response, which result from wear-free motion
and without the need for old-fashioned ball screws. Conventional drive systems use ball screws
to convert the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the axis stroke, leading
to the unavoidable deterioration in response of high speed servo motors due to back-lash and
mechanical lost motion. However linear motors directly provide motion to each axis without
converting rotational movements of motor to linear motion.

Tech 4 NC Unit NC Unit

Motion Controller
Sodick Motor
Gap Detection

In order to achieve maximum performance with a linear motor, the Motion Driver
Controller
K-SMC motor controller is also developed in-house and incorporates
Gap Detection

Sodick control know-how accumulated over the years.

The feedback from the spark gap is directly input in to the K-SMC board Encoder
allowing for instantaneous adaptation of the sparking conditions.

Absolute Linear Scales Electrode Ball screw

With the introduction of new advanced absolute linear glass scales

Workpiece Electrode
the need for referencing has been removed. Therefore, ensuring total Workpiece
positional control at all times and reduced setting up time.
Linear Motor Drive Conventional Ball Screw

Tech 5
Ceramic Components
In major components, such as the quill, the Sodick Die Sinker EDM series
is equipped with in-house manufactured ceramic material, which has
been carefully researched and is considered as the best material for use
in high-end EDM machines.
Innovative Machine Design
The machine construction is designed with heavily
ribbed sections to provide superior long term rigidity
and stability. The surfaces on which the THK Ball-Type
Linear Guide-ways are mounted are hand-scraped
to ensure a perfectly flat surface and outstanding
machine geometry.
Since the work-tank of AG80L LST, AG100L and
AG200L is a separate unit of the machine tool,
weight of work-piece does not adversely affect
the precision and speed of the axis movements.
Furthermore, the advanced machine design
allows the flexibility to customize work-tank on
request as required by the customers’ application.

Dielectric Cooling Unit

The dielectric cooling unit comes with Sodick Linear EDM series as standard,
equipped for efficient and stable machining.

ATC Unit (Optional)

Different sizes of Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) are available on AG large
EDM series. With the LN Professional, operators can easily program the
automatic operation with use of ATC.
AG80L LST: 16/ 32-position ATC
AG100L / AG200L: 6-position Shuttle ATC, 16/ 32-position ATC

High Precision Rotary Head, C Axis (Optional)

The Sodick Rotary Head (C axis) “SEC10” offers 1/1,000,000 of standard
resolution. It enables high precision indexing with direct-drive and continuous
rotation (20rpm), expanding the machining capabilities.
