Sodick AG200L

The Sodick AG200L is a CNC sinker EDM machine designed for high-precision die and mold work, featuring Sodick's proprietary linear motor drive technology on all axes. Engineered for toolmakers, mold shops, and precision component manufacturers, the AG200L delivers exceptional surface finish, tight tolerances, and consistent repeatability by eliminating the backlash and stick-slip inherent in conventional ball screw drive systems.

At the heart of the AG200L is Sodick's direct linear motor drive system, which provides zero-backlash motion on all X, Y, and Z axes. This enables the machine to execute complex orbit patterns and fine finishing sparks with extreme positioning accuracy, consistently achieving mirror-finish surface qualities (Ra < 0.1 µm) on hardened tool steels and tungsten carbide. The machine's thermal-resistant construction and thermally compensated spindle minimize dimensional drift over long production runs, making it well-suited for unattended overnight EDM operations.

Sodick's LN2W intelligent power supply, incorporated in the AG200L, features adaptive spark energy control that automatically adjusts discharge parameters in real time based on gap conditions. This AI-assisted generator technology improves metal removal rates, reduces electrode wear, and extends the stable machining range across a wide range of electrode and workpiece material combinations. The intuitive touch-panel control interface simplifies programming of complex multi-electrode sequences, automatic electrode change cycles, and C-axis (rotation) operations.

The AG200L occupies a compact footprint suitable for toolroom and mold shop environments while offering sufficient X/Y/Z travel and tank capacity for the majority of injection mold core and cavity applications. It is a benchmark choice for shops that demand the best possible surface finish and accuracy from their sinker EDM operations without stepping up to a full precision machine tool investment.
