Sodick UX650L: Achieving Micron Precision with Linear Motors

At JIMTOF 2024, Sodick showcased the UX650L, a machine that takes precision machining to an entirely new level. Known for its ability to achieve micron-level precision on complex parts, the UX650L is a three-axis machine that sets the standard for high-precision manufacturing. But that’s just the beginning — Sodick is already pushing forward with a four-axis version, and a five-axis machine is scheduled for release in 2025.

Micron Precision at Scale

One of the standout features of the UX650L is its ability to achieve 30 microns of precision on parts well over a metre in size. This level of accuracy is a game-changer for industries requiring high-precision components, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing.

The Role of Linear Motors in Precision

So, how does Sodick achieve such incredible precision? The answer lies in the linear motors that power the UX650L. These motors allow for fast, smooth, and precise movements by eliminating the mechanical friction of traditional motors. The result is a machine that not only delivers unmatched precision but does so at high speeds, improving both throughput and accuracy.

What’s Next for Sodick?

The UX650L’s success is just the beginning. Sodick is already working on expanding the capabilities of the UX650L with the introduction of a four-axis machine, followed by a five-axis model set to launch in 2025. These upgrades will give manufacturers even more versatility and capability, further enhancing Sodick’s position at the cutting edge of precision machining.

Conclusion: Changing the Game in Precision Machining

The Sodick UX650L is a true breakthrough in the world of high-precision machining. With linear motors, micron-level precision, and the flexibility of future upgrades, the UX650L is paving the way for a new era in manufacturing excellence.
