Unrivalled precision

ALC-P machines use an inverter type dielectric conditioner as standard, which monitors and maintains the dielectric temperature within +/- 1 degree, minimising the thermal effect within the working area. An additional sensor is installed inside the work bowl for even more accurate temperature control.

The CNC includes two-dimensional axis pitch compensation software that automatically corrects any positioning errors for every 10 mm of X-Y displacement. In addition, the cross-type roller guides offer extremely high rigidity and accuracy, as well as increased durability. The machine’s front door is made of Carbon Fibre to minimise ‘weight displacement’.

The Sodick ALC-P iGE+ Black Edition series comprises two premium linear-motor wire EDM machines, ALC400P and ALC600P. Travels range from 400 x 300 x 250 mm (ALC400P) to 600 x 400 x 350 mm (ALC600P), with U/V travels of 150 x 150 mm and standard taper of 25 degrees (45 degrees optional with Taper Flex 45 NEO). Workable wire is 0.1 to 0.3 mm, with de-ionized water dielectric. The 'Black Edition' is a trim variant with a three-sided rise-and-fall tank, for parts up to 1,000 kg.
