How much does the Sodick VLP600Q 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 VLP600Q is a wire EDM with 600 mm of X travel, 400 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z on an 800 x 600 mm table. It is not in Sodick's current lineup and may be an older model, so anyone looking at one is most likely buying used, and the figures below have not been checked against a manufacturer source.
The listed table puts the emphasis on finishing. It names a VLP digital ultra-low-power generator with 4A peak in fine-finish mode, a surface finish of Ra 0.05 µm and a Sodick LN (Linear iQ) control with a VLP condition library. Treat those as claims to confirm on the actual machine: ask for a sample cut and check that the control software and condition library are present and licensed.
The workpiece limits are 800 kg and 275 mm in height. In X and Y it matches the AL600G and ALN600Q at 600 by 400 mm, both of which list 350 mm of Z. The listed machine weight of 5,800 kg is above the 4,600 kg of the AL600G and the 4,200 kg of the ALN600Q, so plan rigging and floor loading for the heavier figure.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 600 x 400 x 300 mm travels on an 800 x 600 mm table
- Workpieces up to 800 kg and 275 mm tall
- Listed with a fine-finish generator (4A peak) and a surface finish of Ra 0.05 µm, worth confirming with a test cut
- Sodick LN (Linear iQ) control with a VLP condition library, according to the listed table
Limitations
- Not in Sodick's current lineup, so support and parts for this model need checking before purchase
- The listed figures have not been verified against a manufacturer source
- Z travel of 300 mm and a 275 mm workpiece height, against 350 mm of Z on the AL600G and ALN600Q
- Weighs 5,800 kg, heavier than the 4,600 kg AL600G with the same X/Y travel

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It does not appear in Sodick's current lineup and may be an older model. The listed figures could not be checked against a manufacturer source, so confirm travels, generator and control on the machine itself before buying.
02
The listed limits are 800 kg and 275 mm in height, on an 800 x 600 mm table with 600 mm of X, 400 mm of Y and 300 mm of Z travel. Allow room for clamps and the guide heads when sizing a part against those figures.
03
The listed table gives Ra 0.05 µm, with a VLP digital ultra-low-power generator at 4A peak in fine-finish mode. On a used machine the finish depends on the generator, condition library and wire path being in order, so ask for a sample cut in your own material.
04
Both list 600 mm of X and 400 mm of Y. The AL600G lists 350 mm of Z and 4,600 kg, against 300 mm and 5,800 kg for the VLP600Q.
