It is the intention of this course and manual to inform beginning and experienced
operators of the techniques used in programming and operating Sodick Wire EDM
systems. This manual is to be used in conjunction with our class as the course text. This
course provides you with good knowledge of machine operation, maintenance and
programming.
For experienced operators/programmers, this manual and course should provide you with
additional information and technique differences between Sodick and other
manufacturers equipment. As experienced operators/programmers know, there are many
ways to develop CNC programs and various successful techniques to operate the
machine. You can use your own past experience and common sense to develop your own
programming and operating style.
This manual is intended for use during the training course and for reference. It is not to be
used as a replacement for the manual set supplied with the machine. You should have
received the following manuals with your new EDM.
• Control System Volume 3.0A (p.n.6100259)
• Code Instruction Volume 3.0A (p.n.6100298)
• Machine Tool A530D (Or to match your machine)
• Machining Condition
1. Volume 1.4GL for standard machine (p.n. 6100083)
2. Volume 3.1 for EFII circuit machines (p.n. 6100236.3)
• APT General
• APT Procedure
It would be wise to familiarize yourself with the above manuals when you return to your
shop.
There are many different types of Sodick controls. One of the latest types is the MARK
21 and EX21 controls. These are the two controls discussed in this training course.
It is our sincere hope that this course and manual gives you the information you need to
begin operating, programming and maintaining your Sodick wire EDM machine. If you
have questions or comments about this manual or operating and programming the Sodick
wire EDM machine, please call the wire applications department and ask to speak with
an engineer. If you feel that something is wrong with the machine and it needs to be
repaired, please contact the service department. If the machine needs parts, please
contact the parts department.
