The SLN-G series wire EDM from Sodick is designed with the operator in mind. The machines include a user-friendly control that can be used in classic mode, or be switched to tablet mode enabling the operator to manipulate the control in the way that is most comfortable to them.

The SLN-G series is a high-performance, rigid linear motor driven machine, according to the company. It includes many standard features, such as SPW (Smart Pulse Wire) control with the smart Pulse Generator and technologies that improve cutting speed and precision.

There are two available models within the series: the SLN400G that has a X, Y, Z travel of 15.75" x 11.81"x 9.84" (400 x 300 x 250mm) and the SLN600G, that has a X, Y, Z travel of 23.62" x 15.75"x 13.78" (600 x 400 x 350mm). Both machines include Sodick's 10-year positioning accuracy guarantee, which promises the positioning accuracy of the linear motors for 10 years.
