PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Linear Motor Driven Z-Axis
Sodick’s Linear Motor Drive is on the Z-Axis of the K1BL Hole Popper. It is ideal to make microscopic holes that have been impossible to make with conventional machines. In addition, the highly responsive servo system boosts machining speed and reduces electrode wear.
Highly Rigid – Gantry Style Structure
Eco-Friendly
The K Series features energy-saving designs and technologies. Compared to conventional Hole Drillers, the K Series can reduce average energy consumption by up to 60%.
ATC (Automatic Tool Changer)
The ATC automatically changes pipe electrodes to support continuous automatic operations and multi-hole machining.
