Main Features

One Process Millinge

The one process milling is the fully-automated manufacturing method of whitch Sodick newly propose. The machining enables the continuous process of melting by the irradiation of metallic powder with laser light followed by finish machining by milling with rotating tools. In particular, for die manufacturing for plastic molded products, complex shapes such as three dimensional cooling channels and deep ribs can be manufactured with this single printer.

Linear Motor Drive

The Sodick linear motor drive method is excellent in speed and positioning accuracy, and since there is no mechanical contact, it maintains high responsiveness, stability, maintainability and reliability over long periods. The performance of this linear motor demonstrates maximum performance in combination with the motion controller (K-SMC) which Sodick has developed over the years.

Original NC Unit and CAM

The Sodick in-house developed and manufacturedCNC unit, LN4RP, is used. A die with a built-in three-dimensional cooling channel is designed with CAD and a resin temperature simulation is implemented with CAE.

OPM350L

Linear Motor Drive /Precision Metal 3D Printer

Meets Large Size and Diverse Needs. Parallel Mode Significantly Increases Printing Speed. Material Recovery System(MRS:option) Enables Automated Continuous Operation



Main Features

One Process Millinge

One-process milling machining is a new fully automated machining method which Sodick proudly proposes. The machining enables the continuous process of melting by the irradiation of metallic powder with laser light followed by finish machining bay milling with rotating tools. In particular, for die manufacturing for plastic molded products, complex shapes such as three dimensional cooling channels and deep ribs can be manufactured with this single printer.

High-Speed Printing and Cutting Time Reduction Material Recovery System

The new machining method (parallel mode) can print multiple spots simultaneously by controlling a single laser source at high speed. Cutting machining time can be reduced significantly by optimizing the balance of lamination count by laser and cutting finish machining with tools depending on the three-dimensional shape to be machined. Continuous operation has been enabled by developing an optional Material Recovery System (MRS) for metallic powder.

Sodick In-House Made NC Unit and Dedicated CAM

The Sodick in-house developed and manufactured CNC unit, LN4RP, is used along with an in-house developed and manufactured high-performance linear motor. A die with a built-in three-dimensional cooling channel is designed with CAD and a resin temperature simulation is implemented with CAE.
