Picture shows non-CE machine Linear Motor Drive High Precision Die Sinking EDM create your future 1

The World‘s First 10-Year Positioning Accuracy Guarantee Utilising the linear motor drive system, Sodick die-sinker EDMs and wire-cut EDMs have enabled difficult machining operations that were not possible with conventional ball screw-type EDMs, resulting in the cumulative shipment of more than 27,000 units by early 2011. The linear motor-driven EDM, eliminates the need for ball screws and allows for non-contact motion. Use of the Linear Motor removes the deterioration in machining accuracy caused by the worn ball screw assemblies throughout the machine life. Sodick’s confidence in the...

Ceramic Components In major components, such as quill and table, the Sodick Die Sinker EDM series is equipped with in-house made ceramic material, which has been carefully researched and is considered as the best material for use in high-endEDM machines. Advantages Of Ceramic Material 1) When it is used in moving components, such as the quill, the low density is effective in weight reduction, leading to increased dynamic response, resulting in superior machined surface quality. 2) The low co-efficient of linear thermal expansion minimises the thermaldeformation caused by changing...
