SINKER EDM
AD55L
SINKER EDM
The AD55L Sinker EDM features Sodick’s Rigid Linear Motor Technology. Sodick’s expertise in EDM innovation using 3D design systems, the latest CAE technologies and numerous simulations have made it possible to create an improved basic machine structure with optimized rib arrangements; this increases rigidity by approximately 70%. With the new AD55L, machine deformation is minimized, allowing for optimum performance at high-speeds and rapid acceleration of the linear motors.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Rigid Linear Motor Drive System
The LN Controller and Power Supply Unit
SVC Circuit + No Arc Machining
The new electrical supply discharge circuit “Arc-less” enables no arc machining. It greatly reduces the machining time and number of electrodes used, leading to a dramatic reduction in cost and human errors.
*Zero electrode wear is an electrode wear rate of less than .06%.
