Last week, our team was once again on site at the factory in the Far East, supporting customers through a successful Factory Acceptance Trial (FAT) on a bespoke machine from Sodick.
The machine in question — a custom-built AQ1200L — has now been fully signed off and is scheduled to arrive in the UK, where it will be commissioned and in production within the next couple of months.
About the Sodick AQ Series
The AQ series from Sodick is engineered for high-accuracy wire EDM machining, particularly suited to large components and demanding tolerances. Known for its rigid construction, exceptional thermal stability, and consistent cutting performance, the AQ platform is designed to deliver repeatable precision over long production cycles.
The AQ1200L builds on these strengths, offering extended travel and capacity while maintaining the accuracy and surface finish Sodick machines are renowned for worldwide.
Going Beyond Standard Machinery
At Sodi Tech UK, our approach goes far beyond supplying off-the-shelf machines. We work in close partnership with our customers to understand their applications, production challenges, and long-term goals.
This enables us to deliver tailored machinery solutions — whether through custom specifications, configuration changes, or application-focused support — ensuring customers achieve sustained improvements in productivity, precision, and performance.
Every Factory Acceptance is more than a milestone. It’s a step towards long-term manufacturing success, built on collaboration, expertise, and engineering excellence.
