How much does the Sodick AQ750L 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 AQ750L is a wire EDM with 29.53 in (750 mm) of X, 19.68 in (500 mm) of Y and 23.62 in (600 mm) of Z travel, a 1,000 x 720 mm (39.4 x 28.3 in) work table and a workpiece limit of 3,307 lb (1,500 kg). Treat the listed figures as a starting point and confirm each one with Sodick before ordering.
Height needs the most care. Z travel is listed at 23.62 in (600 mm), but the maximum workpiece height is 300 mm (11.8 in), so plan parts around the 300 mm figure. The AQ750LH is listed with a 400 mm (15.7 in) workpiece height and is the variant to ask about for taller blocks.
Taper is listed as ±15° over a 100 mm height. U/V travel appears as 30.31 in × 20.47 in (770 × 520 mm), larger than the X/Y travel, so it says little about taper on its own. Wire runs from 0.006 in to 0.012 in (0.15 - 0.30 mm), which suits standard and heavy wire on die and mould work, not fine-wire detail. The work tank is 49.76 in × 38.31 in (1,264 × 973 mm).
The table describes linear motors on X, Y, U and V, an SP43A generator, the Sodick LQ controller and automatic wire threading with in-cut re-threading. It also quotes ±0.001 mm positioning accuracy and Ra 0.20 um finish; get those in writing for the machine being quoted.
The machine weighs 11,684 lb (5,300 kg) and measures 82.68 in × 110.24 in × 92.52 in (2,100 × 2,800 × 2,350 mm), against 17,637 lb (8,000 kg) for the larger AQ900L. The table is 39.37 in (1,000 mm) above the floor.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed with linear motors on the X, Y, U and V axes and automatic wire threading with in-cut re-threading
- Work table of 1,000 x 720 mm (39.4 x 28.3 in) and a 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) workpiece limit
- Taper listed at ±15° over a 100 mm height
- Lighter than the AQ900L: 11,684 lb (5,300 kg) against 17,637 lb (8,000 kg)
Limitations
- Workpiece height is listed at 300 mm (11.8 in), well below the 23.62 in (600 mm) Z travel
- Wire range starts at 0.006 in (0.15 mm), so fine-wire detail is not covered
- The accuracy and finish figures in the listed table need confirming with Sodick
- The power supply entry names the SP43A generator, not an electrical rating

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum workpiece height is 300 mm (11.8 in). Z travel is listed at 23.62 in (600 mm), but the workpiece height is the figure to plan around. Confirm both with Sodick if your parts are close to 300 mm.
02
In the listed figures, the workpiece height: 300 mm (11.8 in) on the AQ750L and 400 mm (15.7 in) on the AQ750LH. Travels, table size, workpiece weight, wire range and machine weight are listed the same for both.
03
The listed taper range is ±15° over a 100 mm height, with U/V travel given as 30.31 in × 20.47 in (770 × 520 mm). Because that U/V figure exceeds the X/Y travel, ask Sodick what it describes and what angle is possible on thicker plate.
04
The listed dimensions are 82.68 in × 110.24 in × 92.52 in (2,100 × 2,800 × 2,350 mm) and the weight 11,684 lb (5,300 kg), with the table 39.37 in (1,000 mm) above the floor. No electrical rating is listed, so get the supply requirement from Sodick.
