How much does the Sodick AL60G 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 AL60G is a mid-size sinker EDM with 23.62 in (600 mm) of X, 16.54 in (420 mm) of Y and 14.57 in (370 mm) of Z over a 29.53 in × 21.65 in (750 × 550 mm) table, rated for workpieces up to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg). The work tank is 37.40 in × 29.13 in × 17.72 in (950 × 740 × 450 mm).
Its closest neighbour is the AD55L, on the same 750 × 550 mm table with the same 23.62 in (600 mm) of X. The two split the other axes differently: the AD55L has 15.75 in (400 mm) of both Y and Z and a 2,204 lb (1,000 kg) workpiece limit. The AL60G has more Y and less Z, and takes half as much workpiece weight again, which makes it the better fit for heavy, wide mould plates and the AD55L the better fit for deep burns.
The AL60G also repeats the AG60L figures on the AGL Series Sinker EDM page for travel, table, tank and workpiece weight, so it is the like-for-like replacement for that machine. Above it, the AL80G+ moves to 33.46 in (850 mm) of X and a 43.31 in × 27.56 in (1,100 × 700 mm) table at 21,605 lb (9,800 kg), against 11,794.73 lb (5,350 kg) for the AL60G.
The footprint is 73.82 in × 115.35 in × 101.18 in (1,875 × 2,930 × 2,570 mm), and the supply is 3-phase, 50/60 Hz, 17 kVA.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Workpieces up to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg), against 2,204 lb (1,000 kg) on the AD55L with the same table
- 16.54 in (420 mm) of Y travel on a 750 × 550 mm table
- 37.40 in × 29.13 in × 17.72 in (950 × 740 × 450 mm) work tank
- Same 17 kVA, 3-phase supply rating as the smaller AL40G+
Limitations
- 14.57 in (370 mm) of Z is less than the 15.75 in (400 mm) of the AD55L
- No electrode weight, fluid level or dielectric volume in the spec table
- A footprint of 73.82 in × 115.35 in (1,875 × 2,930 mm) is long in one direction, so check the room layout

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Both have a 750 × 550 mm table and 23.62 in (600 mm) of X. The AL60G has 16.54 in (420 mm) of Y and 14.57 in (370 mm) of Z and takes 3,307 lb (1,500 kg); the AD55L has 15.75 in (400 mm) of Y and Z and takes 2,204 lb (1,000 kg).
02
Parts up to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) on a 29.53 in × 21.65 in (750 × 550 mm) table, inside a 37.40 in × 29.13 in × 17.72 in (950 × 740 × 450 mm) tank. The 450 mm tank depth limits the height of parts machined fully submerged.
03
Space for a 73.82 in × 115.35 in × 101.18 in (1,875 × 2,930 × 2,570 mm) machine weighing 11,794.73 lb (5,350 kg), and a 3-phase, 50/60 Hz supply rated at 17 kVA.
