Our best estimate for a wire edm in this class — not a quote from Sodick. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Sodick ALC600G is a mid-size wire EDM with 23.62 in (600 mm) of X, 15.75 in (400 mm) of Y and 13.78 in (350 mm) of Z, in a 41.34 in × 27.95 in (1,050 × 710 mm) work tank. It is rated for parts of up to 2,204 lb (1,000 kg), twice the 1,102 lb (500 kg) of the ALC400G.

The extra Z is what most buyers step up for. At 350 mm it clears thick die blocks and stacked plates that the 250 mm Z of the smaller ALC400G cannot, and it is also more than the 12.20 in (310 mm) of the VN600Q, which shares the same X and Y. U and V still travel 5.91 in × 5.91 in (150 × 150 mm), the same as on the 400 class, and the table gives no taper angle. On a tall part, ask what angle the machine holds through the full height before quoting tapered work.

Wire diameter is listed as 0.002 in - 0.012 in (0.05 - 0.30 mm) with the note "With Available Options", so check that the configuration on the quote covers the wire you plan to run. The table also gives no maximum workpiece dimensions and no electrical requirement.

One row needs checking before installation. The footprint reads 98.23 in × 113.98 in × 92.32 in, but the metric figures in brackets are 2,495 × 3,500 × 2,345 mm, and 113.98 in does not match 3,500 mm. Take the depth from Sodick's layout drawing rather than from either figure. The machine weighs 10,141 lb (4,600 kg), and the table top is 39.17 in (995 mm) above the floor.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

13.78 in (350 mm) of Z travel for thick die blocks and stacked plates
Part weight limit of 2,204 lb (1,000 kg), twice that of the ALC400G
23.62 in × 15.75 in (600 × 400 mm) of X/Y in a 41.34 in × 27.95 in (1,050 × 710 mm) tank
U/V travel of 5.91 in × 5.91 in (150 × 150 mm)
Wire range of 0.05 - 0.30 mm with the available options

Limitations

The footprint row is inconsistent: 113.98 in of depth against 3,500 mm in brackets, so confirm floor space from the layout drawing
No taper angle, maximum workpiece size or power supply in the published table
U/V stroke is no larger than on the 400-size machines, which limits steep tapers on tall parts
Machine weight of 10,141 lb (4,600 kg) needs a suitable floor

Best For

Die blocks and mold plates up to 350 mm of Z Workpieces up to 2,204 lb (1,000 kg) Parts that need a 600 × 400 mm cutting window Stacked plate cutting of several thin parts at once

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the ALC600G compare with the ALN600G?

Both move 23.62 in (600 mm), 15.75 in (400 mm) and 13.78 in (350 mm) in X, Y and Z, both use a 41.34 in × 27.95 in (1,050 × 710 mm) tank and both take a 1,000 kg part. The ALN600G is lighter at 10,031 lb (4,550 kg) against 10,141 lb (4,600 kg).

02 What is the largest part the ALC600G can take?

Up to 2,204 lb (1,000 kg). The table gives no maximum dimensions, only the 1,050 × 710 mm tank and 350 mm of Z. The AL600P, with the same travels, lists a part of 800 × 570 × 340 mm, which is a useful figure to confirm against this model.

03 How much floor space does the ALC600G need?

The table lists 98.23 in × 113.98 in × 92.32 in, with 2,495 × 3,500 × 2,345 mm in brackets. The inch and metric depths do not agree, so ask Sodick for the layout drawing. The machine weighs 10,141 lb (4,600 kg).

04 What wire sizes does the ALC600G run?

0.002 in - 0.012 in (0.05 - 0.30 mm), a range the table qualifies with "With Available Options". The fine end may need optional equipment, so confirm it on the quotation if you plan small inside radii.
