How much does the Sodick ALC800G cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a wire edm in this class — not a quote from Sodick. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Sodick ALC800G is a large wire EDM listed with 800 mm (31.50 in) of X, 600 mm (23.62 in) of Y and 350 mm (13.78 in) of Z. It does not appear in Sodick's current lineup and may be an older model, so the listed figures could not be checked against a manufacturer page.
On those figures it extends the ALC600G's frame in X and Y while keeping the same 350 mm of Z, and doubles the part weight to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). The U and V axes are listed at +/-100 mm (+/-3.94 in) each, with a taper of +/-25° at 130 mm height, and the wire range is 0.10 - 0.30 mm (0.004 - 0.012 in). The work tank is described as 3-sided rise/fall with automatic fluid level adjustment, which makes loading large plates easier.
For a buyer the main comparison is the current AL800G, which has the same 800 x 600 mm of X/Y but 500 mm of Z and a flushed part limit of 3,000 kg. If a job needs height or more than 2,000 kg, the AL800G is the better fit; if not, confirm the ALC800G's travels, taper and the wire sizes fitted on the actual machine before buying.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed X/Y travel of 800 mm (31.50 in) by 600 mm (23.62 in)
- Listed part weight of 2,000 kg (4,409 lb)
- U/V travel of +/-100 mm (+/-3.94 in) with a +/-25° taper at 130 mm height
- 3-sided rise/fall work tank with automatic fluid level adjustment
Limitations
- Z travel of 350 mm (13.78 in) is well short of the 500 mm on the AL800G
- Not in Sodick's current lineup, so availability and support should be checked
- The listed figures could not be checked against a manufacturer page
- The minimum wire diameter listed is 0.10 mm, so very fine wire is not covered

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It is not in Sodick's current lineup and may be an older model. The listed figures could not be checked against a manufacturer page, so confirm them on any machine on offer.
02
The ALC600G moves 600 mm in X, 400 mm in Y and 350 mm in Z and takes 1,000 kg. The ALC800G is listed at 800 mm, 600 mm and 350 mm with a 2,000 kg part limit, so it adds area and capacity but no height.
03
The listed figure is +/-25° at 130 mm height, with +/-100 mm (+/-3.94 in) of travel on each of U and V. Check the taper range on the actual machine before quoting steep tapered work.
04
If parts are taller than 350 mm or heavier than 2,000 kg, yes. The AL800G has 800 x 600 x 500 mm of travel and a flushed part limit of 3,000 kg, and it is in Sodick's current lineup.
