Overview
The Sodick ALN600Q i Groove Edition is a mid-large format value-tier linear motor wire EDM with 600 x 400 x 350 mm (23.6 x 15.75 x 13.78 in) X/Y/Z travel and 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) capacity. Provides 600mm-class capability at the most accessible price, combining linear motor accuracy with AIM AI Maintenance and TH COM thermal correction.
Same non-contact, maintenance-free linear motor technology. At 600 mm X-travel, eliminates thermal expansion and wear-related degradation that affects ball-screw machines.
1,050 x 840 mm work tank, workpieces up to 800 x 570 x 340 mm. Wire 0.10-0.30 mm. +/-25 degree taper at 130 mm.
At 4,200 kg and 2,525 x 2,760 mm footprint. Installation space 3,775 x 4,060 mm. Pricing typically $105,000-$155,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
ALN600G has i Groove+, Digital HF, fine wire to 0.05 mm. ALN600Q has i Groove, value generator, wire from 0.10 mm, plus AIM/TH COM. ALN600G costs $15,000-$20,000 more.
02
Linear motor accuracy is the same. Difference is corner accuracy (i Groove vs i Groove+) and cutting speed.
03
Automatically compensates for thermal displacement during cutting.
04
+/-25 degrees at 130 mm with 150 x 150 mm U/V travel.
