Sodick ALC-G iGE+ series
The ALC Premium range demonstrates significant improvements in cutting speed, accuracy and surface finish.
The feed unit contains numerous circuits to optimally control EDM energy. The high-speed, high-precision roughing, which is essential for achieving excellent finishes, is controlled with an optimum discharge pulse to achieve superior accuracy in terms of surface quality and shape. The generator containing these circuits is based on an energy-saving design and works to minimise unnecessary energy losses.
The linear motors from Sodick offer high acceleration and, thanks to a direct drive mechanism, they guarantee high positioning accuracy. Excellent dynamics ensure stable and fast machining. With no wearing parts and no maintenance, excellent performance is
guaranteed for a long time.
The transmission with linear motor allows a higher sensitivity as it adapts according to the thickness change: the thinking circuit automatically detects the thickness and processes optimised machining parameters. It has also proven to be very reliable and durable over the years and does not require any maintenance costs for ball screw replacement.
Thanks to its extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, ceramic is the ideal material to use in EDM machines. In addition to its perfect hardness, light weight and heat resistance, ceramic is not affected by wear and also has electrical insulation properties, which is important for EDM machines.
The ALC Series uses the new “SPW Power Supply Unit” equipped with a high-speed DUAL CORE processor and the new 19″ LCD monitor with integrated touch panel, to further improve NC operation.
