Sodick Inc. is releasing the AG600LH. The AG600LH Wire EDM has an X, Y, Z travel of 23.7" x 15.8" x 20". It is designed for large-part manufacturers to enable tall workpiece capacity with the new 20" Z-Height.

The AG600LH comes standard with a 10-Year Positioning Guarantee and features Linear Motors on the X, Y, U and V axes. Linear Motors allow a Wire EDM to machine at maximum speeds with no backlash or lost motion, according to the company. The AG600LH also incorporates glass scale feedback, Super Jet Annealing High Speed AWT, ceramic components and an energy saving (eco friendly) circuit, allowing for up to 60 percent less energy use over conventional EDMs.
