With the high demands of today’s market for the latest innovative technology, Sodick, Inc. is continuously working on R&D for new machines that are faster, more accurate and achieve a greater surface finish. The most recent line of machines to be included in Sodick’s product range is the SL-G Wire EDM Machine range.
The SL-G range features two models, the SL400G and the SL600G. Both models feature the same linear motor driven technology that Sodick EDMs are known for. They also come with a 10-year positioning accuracy guarantee. The SL400G has an X, Y, Z travel of 15.75” x 11.81” x 9.84” (400 x 300 x 250 mm), while the SL600G has an X, Y, Z travel of 23.62” x 15.75” x 13.78” (600 x 400 x 350 mm).
These machines feature a Smart Pulse Generator. The Smart Pulse Generator reduces the number of cuts necessary to achieve the required accuracy and surface finish. This reduction in machining time translates directly into a financial advantage.
The new control SPW (Smart Pulse Wire) has many attractive features, from the use of the industry standard Windows 7 operating system, to an enhanced 19 inch multi touch screen, which operates like a tablet. The operation screen can be selected between the traditional screen and the new tablet style screen. Screen layouts can be customized by the operator to suit their working preferences. |
