Sodick’s high-precision AG600LH wire EDM incorporates an additional Z height. The high speed CNC machine is equipped with direct-drive linear motors with Heidenhain absolute glass scale feedback, on-board Heart NC cam system and a rise-fall work tank. The motion controller provides simultaneous axis movement, while an energy-saving circuit is said to reduce power consumption.
Sodick will also display its AG60L sinker EDM and VZ300L wire EDM.
Because of the high material removal rate creep-feed grinding can deliver in challenging materials, grinding might not be just the last step in the process—it might be the process.
Without an international standard for designating carbide grades or application ranges, users must rely on relative judgments and background knowledge for success.
