How much does the Sodick AL100G 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 AL100G is a large sinker EDM with 47.24 in (1,200 mm) of X, 25.60 in (650 mm) of Y and 19.69 in (500 mm) of Z over a 63.0 in × 39.37 in (1,600 × 1,000 mm) table. It is rated for workpieces up to 11,023 lb (5,000 kg) and electrodes up to 220.46 lb (100 kg), and weighs 27,557.78 lb (12,500 kg).
The tank is 82.67 in × 49.21 in × 25.59 in (2,100 × 1,250 × 650 mm) and the fluid level adjusts from 325 mm (12.8 in) to 600 mm (23.6 in). The upper end allows tall parts to be machined fully covered. The lower end is already high, so even a small job needs a large fill; the table gives no dielectric volume, so ask Sodick for it when planning oil and filtration.
Below it, the AL80G+ has 33.46 in (850 mm) of X on a 43.31 in × 27.56 in (1,100 × 700 mm) table and takes 6,614 lb (3,000 kg). Above it, the AG200L moves to a 2,500 × 1,550 mm (98.4 × 61 in) table and 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) of workpiece. All three are rated for 100 kg electrodes, so the extra size goes into the part rather than the electrode.
The table sits 37.0 in (940 mm) above the floor, low enough to set up from floor level even on a machine of this size. The machine occupies 150.39 in × 165.35 in × 131.49 in (3,820 × 4,200 × 3,340 mm), needs 0.65 MPa air, controls 4 axes and lists a step resolution of 0.0001 mm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 63.0 in × 39.37 in (1,600 × 1,000 mm) table with 1,200 × 650 × 500 mm of X/Y/Z travel
- Takes workpieces up to 11,023 lb (5,000 kg)
- Fluid level adjustable from 325 mm (12.8 in) to 600 mm (23.6 in) for tall submerged work
- 0.0001 mm step resolution and 4 controlled axes
- 37.0 in (940 mm) floor-to-table height, far lower than the 1,440 mm of the AG200L
Limitations
- Electrode limit of 220.46 lb (100 kg), the same as on the smaller AL80G+
- At 27,557.78 lb (12,500 kg) and 131.49 in (3,340 mm) tall it needs a prepared foundation and high access
- No dielectric volume in the spec table, and the 325 mm minimum fluid level means a large fill
- No generator or accuracy figures in the spec table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The AL100G has 47.24 in (1,200 mm) of X, 25.60 in (650 mm) of Y and 19.69 in (500 mm) of Z on a 1,600 × 1,000 mm table and takes 11,023 lb (5,000 kg). The AL80G+ has 33.46 in (850 mm), 20.47 in (520 mm) and 16.53 in (420 mm) on a 1,100 × 700 mm table and takes 6,614 lb (3,000 kg).
02
The AG200L is the larger machine, with a 2,500 × 1,550 mm table, 10,000 kg of workpiece and a weight of 19,000 kg. The AG200L table sits 1,440 mm above the floor, against 940 mm on the AL100G. Both take electrodes up to 100 kg and need 0.65 MPa air.
03
The level adjusts from 325 mm (12.8 in) to 600 mm (23.6 in) in a tank 25.59 in (650 mm) deep. The 600 mm maximum sets the tallest part that can be machined fully submerged.
04
Floor space for a 150.39 in × 165.35 in × 131.49 in (3,820 × 4,200 × 3,340 mm) machine weighing 27,557.78 lb (12,500 kg), compressed air at 0.65 MPa, and crane access for loading parts of up to 5,000 kg.
