PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Rigid Linear Motor Drives
CNC Smart Control - SPW
The NC programs are supported with 2D and 3D graphics. Maintenance screens show the status of the machine and remote access is possible for maintenance and supervision.
Smart Pulse Generator
The Smart Pulse Generator reduces the number of cuts necessary to achieve the required accuracy and surface finish. This reduction in time translates directly into a financial advantage.
Intelligent Q³vic
Sodick Motion Controller
Eco-Friendly
Fixed Jet High Speed Automatic Wire Threader
This AWT system allows submerged and non-submerged threading. Combining thermal wire cut for a straighter wire and new water-jet function, the reliability of the Sodick AWT system has been further improved. The exclusive use of closed guides on the ALC400G in combination with the FJ AWT further increases productivity.
3-Sided Rise/Fall Worktank
The 3-sided rise/fall worktank ensures a large set-up space and ergonomic accessibility. Since 3 sides slide down, the machine requires less operating space. The no-drip feature insures a clean shop floor, maintaining a safe work environment.
The fluid level is automatically adjusted according to the workpiece thickness and the operator can easily check machining progress even on thin workpieces because the slide tank can be stopped in intermediate positions while machining. The interior of the tank is made from stainless steel for quick maintenance (unpainted).
In cutting precision fitting parts with a 3.94″ (100 mm) thickness, Sodick has achieved the following; improved cutting speed, reduced cutting frequency, improved part accuracy and improved surface quality. A 32% cutting time reduction has been achieved using the ALC400G.
