Sodick ALC Series Wire Cut EDM

Based on the latest digital innovations in generator technologies and the use of advanced electrode materials, the new ALC range demonstrates considerable advances in cutting speed, accuracy and surface finish. This achievement was made possible through 15 years of Sodick Linear Technology.

To capitalise on the advances of the digital Smart Pulse generator and Sodick’s linear motor system, a new mechanical design was required. This new design resulted in a compact and fully enclosed machine tool which furthermore uses the latest human interface with a 19-inch touch screen colour control.


The ALC series is available in three sizes. The ALC400G, ALC600G, and the ALC800G. High column is offered with the ALC800G.
