How much does the Sodick AG200L cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class — not a quote from Sodick. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Sodick AG200L is a very large sinker EDM built around a 2,500 × 1,550 mm (98.4 × 61 in) table and a 3,000 × 1,800 × 1,150 mm (118.1 × 70.9 × 45.3 in) work tank. It carries workpieces up to 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) and electrodes up to 100 kg (220 lb), and the machine itself weighs 19,000 kg (41,888 lb). It is the machine for moulds and dies that will not fit any smaller sinker in the range.
The next size down is the AL100G, with a 63.0 in × 39.37 in (1,600 × 1,000 mm) table, an 11,023 lb (5,000 kg) workpiece limit and a machine weight of 27,557.78 lb (12,500 kg). The AG200L doubles that workpiece rating but keeps the same 100 kg electrode limit, so the extra capacity goes into the part rather than into heavier electrodes. Both list 0.65 MPa air, 0.0001 mm step resolution and 4 controlled axes.
The fluid level adjusts from 520 mm (20.5 in) to 950 mm (37.4 in). Even the lowest setting is deep, so every job needs a large volume of dielectric; Sodick's table gives no capacity figure, so ask for it when sizing filtration and the oil supply.
The table sits 1,440 mm (56.7 in) above the floor, too high to load from the shop floor, so parts go in by crane and operators need a platform. The machine occupies 4,770 × 5,220 × 4,605 mm (187.8 × 205.5 × 181.3 in), and at 4,605 mm tall it needs crane hook height above that. Sodick's table also gives no X, Y or Z travel, so ask for the strokes before planning a large die: table size alone does not say how much of it the electrode can reach.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,500 × 1,550 mm (98.4 × 61 in) table for very large moulds and dies
- Workpieces up to 10,000 kg (22,046 lb), twice the 5,000 kg rating of the AL100G
- 3,000 × 1,800 × 1,150 mm (118.1 × 70.9 × 45.3 in) work tank with a fluid level of 520 mm (20.5 in) to 950 mm (37.4 in)
- 0.0001 mm step resolution and 4 controlled axes
Limitations
- The spec table gives no X, Y or Z travel, so reach over the table has to be confirmed with Sodick
- Electrode limit is 100 kg (220 lb), the same as on the much smaller AL100G
- At 19,000 kg (41,888 lb) and 4,605 mm (181.3 in) tall it needs a prepared foundation and high crane clearance
- A 1,440 mm (56.7 in) floor-to-table height means loading by crane and an operator platform

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The AG200L has a 2,500 × 1,550 mm (98.4 × 61 in) table against 1,600 × 1,000 mm on the AL100G, and carries 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) of workpiece against 5,000 kg. Both take electrodes up to 100 kg. The AG200L weighs 19,000 kg (41,888 lb), the AL100G 12,500 kg.
02
Sodick's table for the AG200L gives no X, Y or Z travel. It lists a 2,500 × 1,550 mm table, a 3,000 × 1,800 × 1,150 mm tank and 4 controlled axes, so ask Sodick for the strokes before committing a large die to the machine.
03
The fluid level adjusts from 520 mm (20.5 in) to 950 mm (37.4 in) inside a tank 1,150 mm (45.3 in) deep. The upper figure sets the tallest part that can be machined fully submerged.
04
Floor space for a 4,770 × 5,220 × 4,605 mm (187.8 × 205.5 × 181.3 in) machine weighing 19,000 kg (41,888 lb), compressed air at 0.65 MPa, and a crane able to place parts on a table 1,440 mm (56.7 in) above the floor.
