Sodick Co., Ltd.

Sodick is the world’s first (since 1998) and the only manufacturer of  electric discharge machines (EDMs) with hi-power and robust flat (planer) linear motors (LM). Until the present time, the only manufacturer of die-sinker EDMs with linear motors in the world. The world’s only creator and manufacturer of EDMs with a thermally stable ceramic working zone built with in-house FineXCera® ceramics with ultra-low thermal expansion = 4.5 x 10^-6/°C, which is 3-4 times less than that of steels! Complete electrical isolation of the EDM work zone, the workpiece and the electrode from the rest of the machine structure. One of the few in the world manufacturers of EDMs, at the factories of which all bearing surfaces of Meehanite cast-iron structures of all machine-tools are hand-scraped after milling instead of cheaper but inappropriate polishing.
