Our best estimate for a wire edm in this class — not a quote from Sodick. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Sodick AX350L is a fine-wire EDM for small, precise parts: 13.78 in (350 mm) of X and Y travel, wire from Ø0.002 in to Ø0.010 in (Ø0.05 - Ø0.25 mm), and a maximum workpiece of 21.26 in × 19.69 in × 3.94 in (540 × 500 × 100 mm) weighing up to 661 lb (300 kg). Its wire table, U/V axes and taper figures make it a wire machine.

The wire range is what sets it apart. Wire down to Ø0.002 in (Ø0.05 mm) cuts narrow slots and small inside corner radii that a standard wire cannot, which is the work of connector moulds, fine punches and small precision components. Tension is adjustable from 3 to 25 N, and the wire feeds at up to 590 in/min (250 mm/sec).

The envelope is shallow. Workpieces are limited to 3.94 in (100 mm) in height, and Z travel is listed as 4.72 in (+3.94 in)* (120mm +100mm); the table does not explain the asterisk, so ask Sodick what the additional 3.94 in (100 mm) depends on. U/V travel is 3.15 in × 3.15 in (80 × 80 mm), and the maximum taper is ±15° at 3.94 in (100mm) thickness, enough for die clearance and draft on plate work rather than steep conical forms.

For installation, the footprint is 62.99 in × 98.62 in × 86.02 in (1,600 × 2,505 × 2,185 mm), the machine weighs 10,913 lb (4,950 kg), and it needs compressed air at 0.5 MPa, 30 NL/min. Floor-to-table height is 37.40 in (950 mm).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Wire range from Ø0.002 in to Ø0.010 in (Ø0.05 - Ø0.25 mm) for narrow slots and small corner radii
Workpieces up to 21.26 in × 19.69 in (540 × 500 mm) in plan, larger than the 13.78 in (350 mm) X/Y stroke
Wire tension adjustable from 3 to 25 N, with wire feed up to 590 in/min (250 mm/sec)
U/V travel of 3.15 in × 3.15 in (80 × 80 mm) with ±15° taper at 3.94 in (100mm) thickness

Limitations

Workpiece height is limited to 3.94 in (100 mm), which rules out tall blocks
Taper is limited to ±15° at 3.94 in (100mm) thickness
Workpieces are limited to 661 lb (300 kg)
The asterisk on the 4.72 in (+3.94 in) Z travel is not explained in the table

Best For

Fine-wire cutting with Ø0.002 in (Ø0.05 mm) wire Thin plates, punches and die inserts up to 3.94 in (100 mm) thick Small precision parts within 13.78 × 13.78 in (350 × 350 mm) of travel Die clearance and draft cuts within ±15° of taper

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What wire sizes does the AX350L use?

Wire from Ø0.002 in to Ø0.010 in (Ø0.05 - Ø0.25 mm). Wire tension is adjustable from 3 to 25 N and the wire feed runs at up to 590 in/min (250 mm/sec). The fine end of that range is the reason to choose this machine for small corner radii and narrow slots.

02 How large and heavy a workpiece fits on the AX350L?

Up to 21.26 in × 19.69 in × 3.94 in (540 × 500 × 100 mm) and 661 lb (300 kg). The part can overhang the 13.78 in × 13.78 in (350 × 350 mm) X/Y stroke, but only the area within that stroke can be cut, and the 3.94 in (100 mm) height limit rules out thick blocks.

03 How much taper can the AX350L cut?

The maximum taper angle is ±15° at 3.94 in (100mm) thickness, with U/V travel of 3.15 in × 3.15 in (80 × 80 mm). That covers die clearance and moderate draft angles; a steeper taper on a thick part is outside the listed range.

04 What does the AX350L need on site?

Floor space of 62.99 in × 98.62 in × 86.02 in (1,600 × 2,505 × 2,185 mm), a floor for 10,913 lb (4,950 kg), and compressed air at 0.5 MPa, 30 NL/min. The table sits 37.40 in (950 mm) above the floor.
