How much does the Sodick AL35G 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 AL35G is a small oil-dielectric sinker EDM with 350 mm of X, 250 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z travel over a 600 mm × 400 mm table, rated for workpieces up to 400 kg. It is not in Sodick's current lineup and may be an older model. Nobody has been able to check its table against Sodick's own documents, so the listed figures here are a starting point for inspecting a used machine, not a specification to sign against.
The proportions say what the machine is for. Z travel is longer than Y, which leaves room for a tall electrode above a thick insert or for deep ribs and slots. The table is far larger than the X/Y stroke, so a vice or fixture plate can sit beside the burn, but the electrode only reaches the central 350 × 250 mm. The AL40G+ lists the same 600 × 400 mm table with 400 × 300 × 270 mm of travel and 4,100 kg of machine weight, so it reaches further in X and Y while the AL35G goes deeper in Z.
The remaining rows describe the burn itself: an SP digital generator rated 50 A peak, Ra 0.1 µm under fine-finish conditions, dielectric oil, and a Sodick LN2W CNC with K-SMC adaptive control. A 50 A peak rating suits insert and detail work better than heavy roughing of large cavities. The machine is listed at approx. 3,500 kg, which is what the floor and the rigging have to handle.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 300 mm of Z travel on a 350 × 250 mm X/Y stroke leaves room for tall electrodes and deep ribs
- 600 mm × 400 mm table, the same size as the AL40G+, with space for a vice or fixture plate beside the burn area
- Listed finish of Ra 0.1 µm under fine-finish conditions
- At approx. 3,500 kg it is lighter to move and install than the 4,100 kg AL40G+
Limitations
- Not in Sodick's current lineup, and the listed figures have not been checked against Sodick's documents
- X/Y travel of 350 × 250 mm is shorter than the 400 × 300 mm of the AL40G+
- A 50 A peak generator limits how fast large cavities can be roughed
- Workpieces are limited to 400 kg, which rules out heavy mould plates

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. The AL35G is not in Sodick's current lineup and may be an older model. Its table could not be checked against Sodick's documents, so confirm the listed figures (350 × 250 × 300 mm of travel, a 600 mm × 400 mm table and a 400 kg workpiece limit) on the machine itself before buying.
02
Both list a 600 × 400 mm table. The AL40G+ travels 15.75 in (400 mm) in X, 11.81 in (300 mm) in Y and 10.63 in (270 mm) in Z and weighs 9,039 lb (4,100 kg). The AL35G lists 350 × 250 × 300 mm and approx. 3,500 kg, so it is shorter in X and Y but has more Z stroke.
03
The listed table gives an SP digital generator rated 50 A peak, a Sodick LN2W CNC with K-SMC adaptive control, and dielectric oil. On a used machine, check that the control and generator fitted match these rows and that the oil system and filters are in working order.
04
The listed table gives Ra 0.1 µm under fine-finish conditions. A figure like this depends on the electrode material, the area being finished and the finishing schedule, so ask for a sample burn on your own material before relying on it.
