How much does the Sodick ALN600G 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 ALN600G is the middle machine of the ALN wire EDM line, with 23.62 in (600 mm) of X, 15.75 in (400 mm) of Y and 13.78 in (350 mm) of Z. It carries parts of up to 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) in a 41.34 in × 27.95 in (1,050 × 710 mm) tank and weighs 10,031 lb (4,550 kg).
The ALN400G below it moves 400 mm, 300 mm and 250 mm and takes 1,102 lb (500 kg), so this size doubles the part weight as well as enlarging every axis. That step is what moves it from punches and inserts to mid-size mold plates and die blocks. The ALN800G above it goes to 31.50 in (800 mm) by 23.62 in (600 mm) with 19.69 in (500 mm) of Z for shops whose blocks outgrow 350 mm.
U and V travel stay at 5.91 in × 5.91 in (150 × 150 mm), the same as the 400 size. The table states no taper angle, so for tapered openings on blocks approaching the full Z height, get the angle the machine holds at that thickness. Wire is listed as 0.002 in - 0.012 in (0.05 - 0.30 mm) "With Available Options".
The footprint row needs care. It gives 96.26 in × 105.71 in × 90.39 in, but the bracketed metric figures are 2,445 × 3,322.5 × 2,296 mm, and 105.71 in is not 3,322.5 mm. Plan the room from Sodick's installation drawing. The table top is 39.17 in (995 mm) above the floor, and the table gives no power requirement.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 13.78 in (350 mm) of Z travel, against 9.84 in (250 mm) on the ALN400G
- Part weight limit of 2,205 lb (1,000 kg)
- Work tank of 41.34 in × 27.95 in (1,050 × 710 mm) on 600 × 400 mm of X/Y travel
- At 10,031 lb (4,550 kg) it is slightly lighter than the 10,141 lb (4,600 kg) ALC600G with the same travels
- Wire range of 0.05 - 0.30 mm with options fitted
Limitations
- Footprint row is inconsistent: 105.71 in against 3,322.5 mm, so take floor space from the installation drawing
- No taper angle, workpiece dimensions or power supply in the published table
- U/V stroke stays at 5.91 in × 5.91 in (150 × 150 mm), limiting tapers on tall blocks
- The full wire range is quoted "With Available Options"

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The ALN800G moves 31.50 in (800 mm), 23.62 in (600 mm) and 19.69 in (500 mm) in X, Y and Z and weighs 12,125 lb (5,550 kg). The ALN600G moves 23.62 in (600 mm), 15.75 in (400 mm) and 13.78 in (350 mm) and weighs 10,031 lb (4,550 kg).
02
Not in the travels, the 41.34 in × 27.95 in tank or the 1,000 kg part limit, which match. The ALN600G weighs 10,031 lb (4,550 kg) against 10,141 lb (4,600 kg) for the ALC600G, and their published footprints differ.
03
2,205 lb (1,000 kg), in a 41.34 in × 27.95 in (1,050 × 710 mm) tank with 13.78 in (350 mm) of Z. The table does not list maximum workpiece dimensions, so confirm the largest block with Sodick.
04
The listed footprint is 96.26 in × 105.71 in × 90.39 in, given in metric as 2,445 × 3,322.5 × 2,296 mm. The inch and metric depths disagree, so ask for the installation drawing. The machine weighs 10,031 lb (4,550 kg).
