How much does the Sodick AP350L 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 AP350L is a precision wire EDM with a square 350 × 350 mm X/Y envelope and 120 mm of Z travel. It is one of the low-Z AP machines, and its table on Sodick's global site gives every workpiece figure for submerged cutting.
In the tank a part may be up to 540 × 500 × 100 mm and 100 kg when cut submerged. The plan size allowed is larger than the travels, so a plate wider than 350 mm can be clamped with the region that needs cutting placed inside the reach of the wire. The 100 mm height and 100 kg limit keep the machine to thin precision work rather than die blocks. No flushing figures are listed for this model.
Taper is ±7° at a plate thickness of 100 mm, using 35 × 35 mm of U/V travel. That is a modest angle, so the AP350L is suited to straight walls and light draft. Wire diameter runs from 0.05 to 0.25 mm, wire tension from 3 to 25 N and wire feed up to 250 mm/sec.
The machine weighs 4,650 kg, more than the ALN400Q at 3,100 kg even though the ALN400Q has 250 mm of Z against 120 mm here. The machine body is 1,985 × 2,095 × 2,160 mm and the installation area 3,705 × 3,515 mm. The table sits 1,084 mm above the floor and the supply is 3-phase 50/60Hz at 13 kVA.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Square 350 × 350 mm X/Y travel with room for submerged parts up to 540 × 500 × 100 mm
- Wire from 0.05 to 0.25 mm with 3 to 25 N of tension
- A 4,650 kg machine for a 100 kg workpiece limit, heavier than the ALN400Q at 3,100 kg
- Runs from a 3-phase 50/60Hz supply rated at 13 kVA
Limitations
- Taper limited to ±7° at 100 mm plate thickness, with 35 × 35 mm of U/V travel
- Z travel of 120 mm and a 100 mm workpiece height rule out thick die blocks
- Workpieces limited to 100 kg submerged, and no flushing limits are listed
- Installation area of 3,705 × 3,515 mm against a 1,985 × 2,095 mm machine body

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Sodick lists a submerged workpiece limit of 540 × 500 × 100 mm and 100 kg. X and Y travel are both 350 mm and Z travel is 120 mm, so the part can be larger in plan than the area the wire can reach.
02
Up to ±7° at a plate thickness of 100 mm, with U/V travel of 35 × 35 mm. That makes it a machine for straight walls and light draft rather than steep die relief; work that needs larger angles belongs on a machine with more U/V travel.
03
The AP650L keeps the same 120 mm of Z but extends X to 650 mm and Y to 450 mm, and weighs 6,300 kg against 4,650 kg for the AP350L. If parts fit within 350 × 350 mm of travel, the AP350L is the smaller and lighter of the two.
04
Allow an installation area of 3,705 × 3,515 mm around a machine body of 1,985 × 2,095 × 2,160 mm. The machine weighs 4,650 kg, the table is 1,084 mm above the floor, and the power supply is 3-phase 50/60Hz at 13 kVA.
