Sodick EDM Longevous Precision
Below are the results of measurements of circularity with Ballbar QC10 RENISHAW of dry–run along dia 200 mm circle. Feed speed 958 mm/min and 50 mm/min. Resolution of diagrams – 5 µ/div and 2 µ/div.
After 20 Years++ Geometry Still Intact
Sodick exclusive technologies made it possible to build machine-tools preserving their accuracy over virtually decades – and this is certified by numerous facts. The diagrams below show that after even 20 – 25 years of hard operation Sodick EDMs with linear motors preserve machining accuracy – Sodick EDM longevous precision.
