Sodick Thailand introduces the "Sodick Automation System" to improve production quality by integrating automation compatible with both Sodick Die-Sinker EDM and Sodick Wire-Cut EDM. to be more efficient than before.

Automation of Die-Sinker EDM

Articulated Robot

Die-Sinker EDM and an articulated robot.

The articulated robot performs transportation including mounting/removing of electrodes and workpieces. From the layout of electrodes and workpiece stokers to air blow process and 3D measurement automation, system upgrades with the articulated robot are characterized by a high degree of freedom. The robot size is selected according to the weight of the transported object.

SRC80 (Sodick Robot Compact 80)

A combination of the die-sinker EDM and SRC80 (Sodick Robot Compact 80). The AL series* is equipped with a three-sided automatic vertical machining tank controlled fully automatically and has a high affinity with workpiece/electrode replacement systems using automatic electrode changers or robots, allowing continuous automatic operation with high-precision and high-speed machining.

*AL40G/AL60G

ATC (Automation Tool Change)

Even if there is no scheduler, the optional ATC specification enables automatic electrode replacement with a simple, space-saving configuration.
In the AL series, we provide options such as the stand-alone ATC units “ATC-16E” and “ATC-32E” installed on the left side of the machine, and simplified and space-saving ATC units “ATC-12S” and “Shuttle ATC” installed on the right side of the machining tank.
(For compatible models and specifications, contact the responsible sales personnel.)

Automation Of Wire-Cut EDM 

ERC80 (EROWA Robot Compact 80)

The articulated robot performs workpiece transport.

To prevent workpiece corrosion, which can be an issue mainly with water machining fluids, adequate drying and spraying of anti-corrosion oils, etc., is necessary. Features of system upgrades with articulated robots include a high degree of freedom in layout for each device, a drying station (air blow process), and the ability to automate access to the anti-corrosion spraying device.

The tooling system for wire-cut EDM performs selection depending on the workpiece shape or utilization, enabling flexible setup work and continuity between models, to improve productivity in the machining process overall.
