Overview

The Sodick ALN800G is the largest machine of the ALN wire EDM family, with 31.50 in (800 mm) of X, 23.62 in (600 mm) of Y and 19.69 in (500 mm) of Z travel. Its work tank measures 59.05 in × 40.94 in (1,500 × 1,040 mm) and the table is rated for workpieces up to 6,614 lb (3,000 kg).

Z travel is what sets it apart from its nearest relatives. The AL800P covers the same 31.50 in (800 mm) by 23.62 in (600 mm) in X and Y but stops at 9.84 in (250 mm) of Z, so tall die blocks, extrusion dies and thick plate stacks that would not fit under the AL800P's upper guide go on this machine. Lower down the family, the ALN600G offers 23.62 in (600 mm) by 15.75 in (400 mm) by 13.78 in (350 mm), and the ALN400G 15.75 in (400 mm) by 11.81 in (300 mm) by 9.84 in (250 mm).

U/V travel is 7.87 in × 7.87 in (200 × 200 mm). Sodick's table for this model gives no maximum taper angle, so the angle that can be held at a given plate thickness has to be confirmed before quoting taper work on deep sections. Wire diameter runs from 0.004 in to 0.012 in (0.05 - 0.30 mm), wide enough for fine wire on detailed contours and heavy wire on thick, tall parts.

The machine weighs 12,125 lb (5,550 kg) and stands 130.31 in × 132.28 in × 106.10 in (3,310 × 3,360 × 2,695 mm), so floor space, floor loading and rigging need planning before delivery. Floor to table height is 39.17 in (995 mm). The listed table has no separate flushing and submerged workpiece limits, no power supply rating and no wire feed figure.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

19.69 in (500 mm) of Z travel, against 9.84 in (250 mm) on the AL800P with the same X and Y
31.50 in × 23.62 in (800 × 600 mm) of X/Y travel inside a 59.05 in × 40.94 in (1,500 × 1,040 mm) work tank
Table rated for workpieces up to 6,614 lb (3,000 kg), enough for large die sets and mould plates
Takes wire from 0.004 in to 0.012 in (0.05 - 0.30 mm), so one machine covers fine detail and heavy-wire cutting
U/V travel of 7.87 in × 7.87 in (200 × 200 mm) for upper-head offsets on large parts

Limitations

No maximum taper angle is listed, so taper capability on tall parts must be confirmed with Sodick
Occupies 130.31 in × 132.28 in × 106.10 in (3,310 × 3,360 × 2,695 mm) and weighs 12,125 lb (5,550 kg), which needs rigging and a suitable floor
The table gives no separate flushing and submerged workpiece limits, no power supply rating and no wire feed rate

Best For

Tall die blocks and plate stacks up to 19.69 in (500 mm) of Z Large mould plates within 800 × 600 mm (31.50 × 23.62 in) of X/Y travel Heavy workpieces up to 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) Shops running both 0.05 mm fine wire and 0.30 mm heavy wire on one machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the ALN800G differ from the AL800P?

Both have 31.50 in (800 mm) of X and 23.62 in (600 mm) of Y travel. The ALN800G has 19.69 in (500 mm) of Z against 9.84 in (250 mm) on the AL800P, so it takes workpieces about twice as tall. The AL800P is listed at 12,676 lb (5750 kg) and the ALN800G at 12,125 lb (5,550 kg).

02 How does the ALN800G compare with the smaller ALN600G?

The ALN600G has 23.62 in (600 mm) of X, 15.75 in (400 mm) of Y and 13.78 in (350 mm) of Z and weighs 10,031 lb (4,550 kg). The ALN800G extends all three axes, to 31.50 in (800 mm), 23.62 in (600 mm) and 19.69 in (500 mm), for a machine weight of 12,125 lb (5,550 kg).

03 How heavy and how large a workpiece can the ALN800G take?

The table load is 6,614 lb (3,000 kg). The work tank is 59.05 in × 40.94 in (1,500 × 1,040 mm) and Z travel is 19.69 in (500 mm). Sodick's table for this model does not split the limits into flushing and submerged figures, so ask for those if the part will be cut with the tank filled.

04 What wire sizes does the ALN800G run?

From 0.004 in to 0.012 in (0.05 - 0.30 mm). The fine end suits small corner radii and detailed contours; the 0.30 mm end gives the cross-section for faster cutting through thick sections. The table does not list a wire feed rate or a tension range for this model.

05 What floor space does the ALN800G need?

The machine measures 130.31 in × 132.28 in × 106.10 in (3,310 × 3,360 × 2,695 mm) and weighs 12,125 lb (5,550 kg). Floor to table height is 39.17 in (995 mm). No power supply rating is listed, so get the electrical requirement from Sodick before preparing the site.
