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 AG100L is listed here as a large wire EDM, but its table cannot be taken at face value. It is not in Sodick's current lineup and is most likely an older model, the listed figures could not be checked against a manufacturer page, and the rows contradict one another.

Two sets of travels are given: 1,000 x 800 x 300 mm in one place and 1,200 x 650 x 500 mm in another, and the table size appears as both 1,200 x 1,000 mm and 1,600 x 1,000 mm. The rows also mix two kinds of machine. Wire diameter, a ±45° / 100 mm taper and automatic wire threading describe a wire EDM, while a maximum electrode weight of 100 kg (220 lb) and a work-tank fluid level describe a sinker (die-sinking) EDM. Before going further, establish which type the machine on offer actually is.

Some rows agree with each other and are a reasonable starting point. The maximum workpiece weight is 11,023 lbs (5,000 kg) in two places, the machine is listed at 27,557.78 lbs (12,500 kg) and 150.39" x 165.35" x 131.49" (3,820 x 4,200 x 3,340 mm), and the work tank at 82.67" x 49.21" x 25.59" (2,100 x 1,250 x 650 mm). Air supply is listed at 0.65 MPa. For any used AG100L, take the travels and type from the machine's own nameplate and manual.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed workpiece weight of 11,023 lbs (5,000 kg), stated the same way in two rows
Work tank listed at 82.67" x 49.21" x 25.59" (2,100 x 1,250 x 650 mm)
Floor-to-table height listed at 37.0" (940 mm), which suits crane loading of heavy parts
Listed electrode weight of 100 kg (220 lb), if the machine proves to be the sinker type those rows describe

Limitations

Not in Sodick's current lineup, so only used machines are available
Travels are listed as both 1,000 x 800 x 300 mm and 1,200 x 650 x 500 mm
The table mixes wire EDM rows with sinker EDM rows, so the machine type must be confirmed
Machine weight of 27,557.78 lbs (12,500 kg) and a height of 131.49" (3,340 mm) need a large, high bay

Best For

Very heavy parts up to 5,000 kg, once the travels are confirmed Buyers able to inspect the machine and its documentation in person Large mold work that needs a 2,100 x 1,250 mm tank

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the Sodick AG100L a wire EDM or a sinker EDM?

The listed figures do not settle it. Wire diameter, taper and wire threading rows point to a wire EDM; an electrode weight of 100 kg (220 lb) and a work-tank fluid level point to a sinker EDM. Check the nameplate and manual of the machine on offer.

02 What are the AG100L's travels?

The table gives two answers: 1,000 x 800 x 300 mm and 1,200 x 650 x 500 mm. They cannot both be right, so measure the strokes on the machine before quoting work for it.

03 How heavy a part can the AG100L take?

11,023 lbs (5,000 kg), the one capacity figure that appears consistently. The work tank is listed at 2,100 x 1,250 x 650 mm, and the table top at 37.0" (940 mm) above the floor.

04 What does an AG100L need for installation?

The listed machine size is 150.39" x 165.35" x 131.49" (3,820 x 4,200 x 3,340 mm) and the weight 27,557.78 lbs (12,500 kg). Air is listed at 0.65 MPa. Confirm the electrical supply from the machine's own documentation.
