Overview

The Sodick UX450L is a compact linear-motor milling machine built around a small, very fast spindle: 6,000 to 40,000 rpm on an HSK-E32 taper, with 60,000 rpm offered as an option on the HSK-E25 version. Travels are 17.72 in (450 mm) in X, 13.78 in (350 mm) in Y and 7.87 in (200 mm) in Z, and the linear motor drives give a rapid traverse of 1,417.3 ipm (36 m/min).

The tool limit says most about the intended work. Maximum tool diameter is .236 in (6 mm), so this is a machine for small end mills, ball nose cutters and fine features in mold inserts and electrodes, not for face milling or heavy roughing. The speed range points the same way. Its lowest listed speed is 6,000 rpm, which suits small-diameter tools but leaves no slow band for larger drills or rigid tapping.

The table measures 23.62 in × 15.75 in (600 × 400 mm), larger than the X/Y travel, so clamps can sit outside the cutting area. It is rated for 220.46 lb (100 kg). Table-to-spindle distance runs from 3.93 in to 11.81 in (100 to 300 mm), and with the 200 mm Z stroke that frames the work as fixtured inserts, cores and electrodes rather than tall blocks.

Against that small envelope the machine weighs 15,432.36 lb (7000 kg), seventy times its table rating. That much mass under a light workpiece is what high-speed finishing with small tools depends on to keep vibration out of the cut. Plan the floor for the weight and for a footprint of 77.75 in × 133.30 in × 85.51 in (1975 × 3386 × 2172 mm); the 133.30 in (3386 mm) dimension is the one that usually decides where it fits.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Spindle runs 6,000 to 40,000 rpm on HSK-E32, with a 60,000 rpm option on the HSK-E25 version for the smallest tools
Linear motor axis drives with a rapid traverse of 1,417.3 ipm (36 m/min)
A 15,432.36 lb (7000 kg) machine carrying a table rated for 220.46 lb (100 kg), a heavy base for fine finishing passes
The 23.62 in × 15.75 in (600 × 400 mm) table is larger than the 17.72 in (450 mm) X and 13.78 in (350 mm) Y travel, leaving room for clamping outside the cut

Limitations

Maximum tool diameter is .236 in (6 mm), which rules out face mills, large drills and roughing cutters
Table load is limited to 220.46 lb (100 kg), fixture included
Z travel of 7.87 in (200 mm) and a maximum table-to-spindle distance of 11.81 in (300 mm) limit part and tool stack height
60,000 rpm is an option and needs the HSK-E25 taper; the HSK-E32 spindle tops out at 40,000 rpm
The 3386 mm (133.30 in) footprint dimension is long for a machine with 450 mm (17.72 in) of X travel

Best For

Micro milling with tools up to 6 mm (.236 in) in diameter Finishing small mold inserts and cores at up to 40,000 rpm Small electrodes and fine detail inside a 450 × 350 mm (17.72 × 13.78 in) X/Y envelope Light workpieces and fixtures within 100 kg (220.46 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size tools can the UX450L use?

Sodick lists a maximum tool diameter of .236 in (6 mm). The standard spindle taper is HSK-E32, with HSK-E25 available as an option. The HSK-E32 spindle covers 6,000 to 40,000 rpm, and the HSK-E25 version can be specified with 60,000 rpm for very small cutters.

02 Is the 60,000 rpm spindle standard?

No. The listed range is 6,000 to 40,000 rpm, and 60,000 rpm is an option available on the HSK-E25 spindle. Confirm which spindle and taper are on a quoted machine, since tool holders for HSK-E32 and HSK-E25 are not interchangeable.

03 What is the working envelope?

X, Y and Z travels are 17.72 in (450 mm), 13.78 in (350 mm) and 7.87 in (200 mm). The table is 23.62 in × 15.75 in (600 × 400 mm), and the distance from table to spindle runs from 3.93 in to 11.81 in (100 to 300 mm), so add up fixture, part and tool length against that 300 mm maximum.

04 How heavy a workpiece can the table carry?

The table is rated for 220.46 lb (100 kg). That covers the workpiece and its fixture together, which fits small inserts and electrodes but rules out heavy mold plates or large vises.

05 How much floor space and weight should be planned for?

The listed footprint is 77.75 in × 133.30 in × 85.51 in (1975 × 3386 × 2172 mm) and the machine weighs 15,432.36 lb (7000 kg). Check the floor slab for that load and the access route for the 3386 mm (133.30 in) dimension before delivery.
