The current finished products require higher and higher precision machining. This model is designed and developed to satisfy this manufacturing trends and requirements from a small to a large sized workpiece. This satisfaction comes with Sodick's own technical elements.
AP450L realizes ultra-high-precision machining thanks to linear motors on 4 axes and high-rigidity cross-roller guides, developed and manufactured by Sodick.  You can select the most suitable machine type from 3 different dielectric fluid of water, oil and water/oil, in accordance with your machining condition.

Main Features

  • Newly developed power unit, "LQW1" Power Supply, integrating 3-D solid models
    3-D solid models automatically define optimum machining conditions to enable unmanned operation and significant saving of manpower.
  • Machine performance to the extremes of precision, functionality and quality
    The linear-motor drive on 4 axes, high-rigidity cross-roller guides with minimum friction and unique Super PIKA circuit for ultra-fine fishing realize machining to an excellent precision.
  • Various machining requirements are satisfied by the different dielectric fluid of either water, oil or water/oil
    The lineup of three machine types satisfies a wide variety of machining methods: water machining excellent in machining speed, oil machining suitable for fine machining and water/oil machining versatile both in machining speed and accuracy.
  • Maintenance-free design
    The linear-motor drive without ball screws eliminating the torsion and wear of the drive system components and the use of ceramics for main structural components maintain high machining precision over a long period.
