Used Sodick AQ750L Wire EDM

Author：JINYI Date：2026-06-24

The Used Sodick AQ750L Wire EDM is a fully submerged wire-cut electrical discharge machine built in Japan by Sodick — a name that has led EDM technology for decades. This specific unit, stock number 812398, was manufactured in 2010 and is currently housed at our facility, where buyers can inspect it under power. X, Y, and Z axis travels come in at 700 × 500 × 400 mm, and the worktable measures approximately 1050 × 750 mm — giving the machine ample capacity for medium-to-large die and mold components without compromise. U/V axis travels of 770 × 520 mm enable complex taper cutting and simultaneous contouring that smaller wire EDMs simply cannot deliver. The wire diameter range spans 0.15–0.30 mm, so shops can switch between fast roughing and fine finishing on a single machine. That makes the AQ750L a genuine all-rounder for factories producing automotive dies, aerospace parts, medical devices, injection molds, and electronics tooling. For procurement managers evaluating a used wire EDM that can serve multiple production lines, this machine is a cost-effective, immediately available answer.

Stock Status and buying value

This AQ750L is physically in stock at our location — it is not a brokered listing, nor does it require sourcing from an overseas end user. Stock number 812398 can be visited, operated, and evaluated without delay. That level of transparency is uncommon in the used EDM market and gives buyers a decisive edge when verifying machine condition and production suitability.

From a financial standpoint, a used AQ750L is a strategic acquisition. A comparable new wire EDM with similar travels and cutting envelope would typically list at a price several multiples above this pre-owned option, with delivery lead times stretching beyond three months in many regions. The immediate availability of this unit translates directly into production uptime: a factory can often integrate it into active operations within two weeks of purchase. When you factor in Sodick's robust parts supply and the wide network of independent EDM technicians, the total cost of ownership for a well-maintained 2010 AQ750L frequently undercuts both leasing and new purchase scenarios — while delivering the same fundamental cutting performance for most general machining tasks.

Key Specifications and Production Readiness

Every specification on the AQ750L has a direct impact on shop floor output. Below, we translate the numbers into practical meaning.

Travels X/Y/Z: 700 × 500 × 400 mm. These are the programmable working strokes. A 700 mm X-axis means the machine can traverse fully across a long die plate without re-clamping. The 400 mm Z height accommodates thick molds, forging dies, and stacked components. Many smaller wire EDMs top out at 400–500 mm of X travel, limiting their ability to process longer parts in a single setup.
Worktable size: 1050 × 750 mm. The table extends beyond the travels, providing generous room for clamping fixtures outside the cutting area. This matters on jobs that require precise alignment of large, irregularly shaped workpieces.
U/V axis travel: 770 × 520 mm. The upper head moves independently in these axes, enabling accurate taper angles. For shops cutting die relief angles, draft angles on molds, or multi-level profiles, these generous strokes mean fewer compromises on part geometry.
Maximum workpiece dimensions: 1050 × 750 × 400 mm. The machine tank and structure are built to immerse and cut a full-size block of this scale. Check your largest expected part size against these numbers — if it fits, the machine can likely handle the job.
Wire diameter range: 0.15–0.30 mm. The 0.15 mm wire is indispensable for inside sharp corners and fine details typical of medical or electronic components. The 0.30 mm wire supports aggressive roughing, boosting material removal rates when cycle time is critical. Having both capabilities in a single machine eliminates the need for separate fine-wire and heavy-wire EDMs.
Machine envelope: 2750 × 2050 × 2350 mm. Plan for a floor area of at least 3.0 × 3.5 meters to accommodate the dielectric tank, chiller, and operator workspace. The 2350 mm height clears standard factory ceilings, but confirm there are no overhead obstructions.
Wire guide and linear drive: The AQ series is known for Sodick's linear motor drive on the X and Y axes in many configurations, which reduces mechanical wear and improves contouring accuracy. Even after years of service, these drives tend to hold repeatability better than conventional ballscrew drives — provided they have been kept clean and dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Sodick AQ750L wire EDM physically in stock and available to inspect?
Yes. Stock number 812398 is located at our China facility. It is ready for on-site inspection and can be demonstrated under power upon appointment.
What condition is the used AQ750L in — is it fully operational?
The machine is sold in used condition. It is operational and available for testing during inspection. We recommend that potential buyers personally observe the machine running a test cut to verify its current accuracy, surface finish, and overall condition.
What industries and parts does the AQ750L suit best?
Its travels, taper capability, and wire range make it suitable for automotive die making, aerospace parts, injection molds, medical device components, and electronics tooling. Any shop needing a balance of large workpiece capacity and fine‑detail cutting will find this model appropriate.
How do the travels of this machine compare to other used wire EDMs?
With X/Y/Z travels of 700 × 500 × 400 mm, the AQ750L sits at the upper end of the medium‑size class. Many popular used wire EDMs have X travels around 400–500 mm, making this unit significantly more capable for long mold plates and dies.
What are the most important aspects to check before buying?
Key checks include: axis geometric accuracy (backlash, out‑of‑round), wear on wire guides and power contacts, dielectric system integrity, control functionality, and physical condition of the tank and table. See our full Inspection Points section above for detailed guidance.
Can the machine be shipped internationally, and how soon could production start?
Shipping can be arranged to most global destinations. After completion of inspection and payment, the machine can typically be prepared for transport within a few business days. The exact timeline to production start depends on local customs clearance and integration at the buyer's facility, but it is generally measured in weeks rather than months.
