How much does the Sodick ALN400G 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 ALN400G is the entry size of the ALN wire EDM line: X 15.75 in (400 mm), Y 11.81 in (300 mm), Z 9.84 in (250 mm), with 5.91 in × 5.91 in (150 × 150 mm) of U/V and a part limit of 1,102 lb (500 kg). Above it sit the ALN600G and the ALN800G, the latter reaching 31.50 in (800 mm) by 23.62 in (600 mm) with 19.69 in (500 mm) of Z.
Its footprint is 86.22 in × 95.47 in × 86.81 in (2190 × 2425 × 2205 mm), and it weighs 7,385 lb (3,350 kg). For shops fitting a machine between existing equipment, the depth figure is the one to measure against, and the 2205 mm height should clear most ceilings and overhead runways without trouble.
The 850 × 610 mm work tank is roomy for the travel. Parts larger than the 400 × 300 mm cutting window can be clamped so that the wire reaches the area to be cut, though the table gives no maximum workpiece dimensions, so confirm the largest block the tank takes. Z travel of 250 mm puts a ceiling on stack heights and thick punches.
The published figures are brief. Sodick gives no taper angle and no power requirement, and lists the wire diameter as 0.002 in - 0.012 in (0.05 - 0.30 mm) "With Available Options", which leaves open what the standard configuration covers. These are the three points to settle in writing with the quotation: taper rating, electrical supply and the wire sizes included.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Footprint of 86.22 in × 95.47 in (2190 × 2425 mm) and a height of 86.81 in (2205 mm)
- Machine weight of 7,385 lb (3,350 kg), lighter than the 7,496 lb (3,400 kg) ALC400G of the same size
- Part weight up to 1,102 lb (500 kg) in a 33.45 in × 24.01 in (850 × 610 mm) tank
- 5.91 in × 5.91 in (150 × 150 mm) of U/V stroke for taper cutting
- Same family as the ALN600G and ALN800G, so programs and fixtures can scale with the work
Limitations
- Z travel of 9.84 in (250 mm) limits part and stack height
- No taper angle, workpiece dimensions or power supply in the published table
- The 0.05 - 0.30 mm wire range is listed "With Available Options"
- The 400 × 300 mm cutting window is small for large die plates, which need the ALN600G or ALN800G

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The ALN600G moves 23.62 in (600 mm), 15.75 in (400 mm) and 13.78 in (350 mm) in X, Y and Z, against 15.75 in (400 mm), 11.81 in (300 mm) and 9.84 in (250 mm), and weighs 10,031 lb (4,550 kg) against 7,385 lb (3,350 kg). Both have 5.91 in × 5.91 in (150 × 150 mm) of U/V.
02
The limit is 1,102 lb (500 kg) in a 33.45 in × 24.01 in (850 × 610 mm) work tank, with 9.84 in (250 mm) of Z. The table gives no maximum workpiece dimensions, so confirm the largest block with Sodick.
03
86.22 in × 95.47 in × 86.81 in (2190 × 2425 × 2205 mm), with a machine weight of 7,385 lb (3,350 kg). The table top sits 39.17 in (995 mm) above the floor, which sets the loading height.
04
The table lists 0.002 in - 0.012 in (0.05 - 0.30 mm) and qualifies it with "With Available Options". If the fine end of that range matters for your radii, make sure the options that provide it are on the quotation.
