How much does the Sodick AG60L CNC Sinker EDM cost?

Estimated price range

Est.$250,000 – $500,000

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 AG60L CNC Sinker EDM on this page carries a listed table of 600x400x400 mm X/Y/Z travel, a maximum workpiece of 1000x700x400 mm and 800 kg, and an all-axis linear motor drive with no ballscrews. The AG60L is not in Sodick's current lineup, and nobody has been able to check this table against Sodick, so read the figures as listed rather than confirmed.

The row that sets this page apart is the electrode changer: a 16-position AEC is listed as optional. On a sinker that runs roughing, semi-finishing and finishing electrodes in sequence, an automatic changer is what lets a job run unattended. On a used machine, check whether the changer is actually fitted and working, since the table says it was an option rather than standard.

The table is not internally consistent. A 1000x700x400 mm workpiece will not fit a dielectric tank described as a 600x400 mm working area. The travels also differ from the AGL Series Sinker EDM page, which gives the AG60L 600 mm of X, 420 mm of Y and 370 mm of Z, a 1,500 kg workpiece limit and a 950 x 740 x 450 mm tank. Treat the envelope and load figures here as unconfirmed until measured.

The remaining rows list a Sodick SP generator (digital) with K-SMC adaptive control, a Sodick LN2W CNC, Ra 0.1 micron finish under finishing conditions and a 200V, 3-phase supply.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

16-position AEC electrode changer listed as an option, for unattended multi-electrode jobs
All-axis linear motor drive with no ballscrews
Listed workpiece envelope of 1000x700x400 mm and 800 kg
Sodick SP digital generator with K-SMC adaptive control in the listed table

Limitations

Not in Sodick's current lineup, and the table could not be checked against the manufacturer
The electrode changer is optional, so a used machine may not have one
Workpiece size and tank rows contradict each other, so the real envelope must be measured
The listed 800 kg workpiece limit is below the 1,500 kg the AGL Series Sinker EDM page gives for the AG60L

Best For

Buyers checking a used AG60L fitted with the optional 16-position AEC Multi-electrode cavity work run unattended through an electrode changer Parts up to 800 kg, once the envelope has been measured

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the AG60L come with an electrode changer?

The listed table gives a 16-position AEC as optional, not standard. On a used machine, confirm that the changer is fitted, that its positions suit the electrode holders you use, and that the control is set up to run it.

02 Why do the AG60L figures here disagree with the AGL Series page?

This table has not been checked against Sodick. The AGL Series Sinker EDM page lists the AG60L with 600 mm of X, 420 mm of Y, 370 mm of Z and a 1,500 kg workpiece limit; this page lists 600x400x400 mm and 800 kg. Measure the machine before relying on either.

03 What is the largest workpiece the AG60L takes?

The listed maximum is 1000x700x400 mm and 800 kg. The same table describes the dielectric tank as a 600x400 mm working area, which a part of that size could not fit, so check the tank and table dimensions in person.

04 What control and generator does the AG60L use?

The listed table names a Sodick LN2W CNC and a Sodick SP digital generator with K-SMC adaptive control, running on a 200V, 3-phase supply. Its Ra 0.1 micron finish is quoted for finishing conditions only.
