Sodick Europe
New iGroove Plus Technology with Smart Pulse, and Rigid Linear Motor Wire-cut EDM

ALC400G iG+E

Sodick 10 year guarantee

Sodick’s ALC400/ ALC600 range of machines comes with a new standard – the “i Groove Plus” edition with wire rotation mechanism. This new innovative technology, patented by Sodick, rotates the wire during the skim cut operation, so that workpieces are machined from top to bottom with the “unconsumed” surface of the wire.

Conventionally, wire electrodes are controlled solely by tension and running speed, while being constrained by a die. Sodick’s i Groove rotation mechanism provides additional control over the wire, resulting in increased surface quality and improved geometric accuracy, whilst at the same time minimising wire consumption – combining the best ecological solution with the highest quality of EDM machining.
