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 AG35L is a small linear-motor sinker EDM listed with 350 mm (13.8 in) of X and 250 mm (9.8 in) each of Y and Z. Its table allows a workpiece of 750 x 550 x 350 mm (29.5 x 21.7 x 13.8 in) weighing up to 600 kg (1,323 lb), on a machine of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). The AG35L is not in Sodick's current lineup and the table has not been checked against Sodick, so use it as a starting point for inspecting a used machine.

The nearest current comparison is the AD35L, with the same 13.78 in (350 mm) of X and 9.84 in (250 mm) of Y but 10.63 in (270 mm) of Z, a 23.62 in × 15.74 in (600 × 400 mm) table, a 1,212 lb (550 kg) workpiece limit and a 180 L dielectric system. The AG35L listing gives a tank capacity of 400 L (106 gal), more than twice that fill.

The listed table goes further than most into the machine's equipment: a Sodick ACTIVE3 generator with Intelligent Power Management at 40 A maximum current, 3D orbiting cycles, an automatic Z-axis jump, an LP3 ceramic composite base, petroleum-based EDM oil and a Sodick GENESIS LN CNC on a 200/220 VAC 3-phase supply. It also quotes ±0.001 mm positioning, ±0.0005 mm repeatability and Ra 0.10 µm in fine-finish mode. None of this is confirmed by the manufacturer, so see the orbiting and jump functions run on the control and measure accuracy on a test part before buying.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed workpiece size of 750 x 550 x 350 mm (29.5 x 21.7 x 13.8 in), large for a machine with 350 mm of X
600 kg (1,323 lb) listed workpiece limit
Linear motor drive on all axes, with no ballscrew
3D orbiting cycles and an automatic Z-axis jump listed in the table

Limitations

Not in Sodick's current lineup, and the table has not been checked against the manufacturer
250 mm (9.8 in) of Z limits the combined length of electrode and depth of burn
Y travel of 250 mm (9.8 in) restricts multi-cavity layouts
Accuracy and finish figures of ±0.001 mm and Ra 0.10 µm are unconfirmed and need a test part

Best For

Buyers inspecting a used AG35L against its listed figures Small inserts and cavities within 350 x 250 mm of X/Y travel Workpieces up to 600 kg, once the limit is confirmed Jobs that use orbiting cycles to finish cavity walls

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the Sodick AG35L still made?

It does not appear in Sodick's current lineup. The current AD35L covers the same 13.78 in (350 mm) of X and 9.84 in (250 mm) of Y, with 10.63 in (270 mm) of Z and a 1,212 lb (550 kg) workpiece limit.

02 What size of part fits the AG35L?

The listed maximum workpiece is 750 x 550 x 350 mm (29.5 x 21.7 x 13.8 in) and 600 kg (1,323 lb). Only the area within 350 mm of X and 250 mm of Y can be reached in one setup, so a part of full size may need repositioning to reach every feature.

03 How much dielectric does the AG35L hold?

The listed tank capacity is 400 L (106 gal) of petroleum-based EDM oil. Budget for a full fill and new filters when recommissioning a used machine, and confirm the capacity on the machine, as this row has not been checked against Sodick.

04 What does the AG35L control offer?

The listed control is a Sodick GENESIS LN CNC, with 3D orbiting cycles, an automatic Z-axis jump and an ACTIVE3 generator at 40 A maximum current. Run each function on the machine before buying, because these rows have not been checked against Sodick.
