Employing 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. The linear motor-driven EDMs, eliminate the need for ball screws and the associated disadvantages. Use of the Linear Motor removes the deterioration in machining accuracy caused by worn ball screws throughout the machine life (more than 10 years). Sodick is so confident of the performance and accuracy of their machines over a 10 year period, that they are the only Manufacturer to offer a 10 year...

Standard Features Linear Motor Drive Sodick's linear motor is a direct drive, vibration free device which has unrivalled acceleration and positioning accuracy with no backlash. Its high dynamic responsiveness, stability for precision machining, and performance do not diminish over time and remain maintenance free. The linear motor achieves even better performance thanks to the Motion Controller (K-SMC) which Sodick has perfected over the years. Sodick Motion Controller Conventional Ball Screw Drive Absolute Linear Scales With the introduction of new advanced absolute linear glass scales the...
