Small Hole EDM
K1C SMALL HOLE POPPER

K1C
The K1C is a high speed small hole driller that machines difficult to cut carbide and heat treated workpieces. Sodick’s patented Vitol machining fluid allows EDMing at much faster speeds than small hole machines that use water as a dielectric fluid.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Latest Servo Technology
The Servo System dramatically improves responsiveness in servo detection. It offers 2 times faster machining speeds compared with previous models.
Micro-Step Servo
The K1C small hole drill is equipped with the Micro-Step Servo which maintains stable machining at all times.
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%.
Ergonomically Friendly
The K1C is carefully designed to consider easy operation for operators. The operation panel is located at the front of the machine. The counter display is at the height of the operators view. The machine also comes with a tool tray for placing tools, dies and the like.
Jig Grinding Function (Option)
Sodick’s new Jig Grinding function provides the UH Series the flexibility to perform high-precision, 3-axis grinding applications with ease. With independent Z-motion and high feed rate, the UH can achieve high surface quality along difficult contours. With this added capability, the UH series can eliminate the need for expensive, single-function jig grinders.
