Used Sodick AQ750L: Sell or Buy at Auction
Sodick is a Japanese manufacturer of electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment: sinker EDM and wire EDM machines used in die and mold making, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing. Sodick's linear motor technology delivers superior axis control, positioning accuracy, and surface finish compared to ball screw alternatives. The AQ and VZ series are widely used in precision tool shops.
The Sodick AQ750L is a large-format wire EDM built for shops cutting oversized mold bases, thick tool steel dies, and large aerospace components that will not fit inside a compact wire EDM's tank. The "L" in the model name marks Sodick's linear motor drive on the machine's main axes, a design that removes the backlash and screw wear of ball-screw wire EDMs and holds positioning accuracy and repeatability over the long cuts these bigger parts demand. That drive is paired with a large work envelope, with X-axis travel on the order of 750 mm, and a full-submersion tank sized to match, so operators can rough and finish thick, hardened workpieces submerged for stable flushing and consistent surface quality. Die and mold shops, aerospace tooling suppliers, and large-part precision machine shops choose the AQ750L specifically for that envelope and its finish on heavy, hard material, not for general-purpose wire cutting. When a machine this size comes up through KD Auctions, buyers look closely at hours, control condition, the automatic wire threader, and tank and seal integrity, and the listing reaches KD Auctions' 500,000+ industry contacts, including the die, mold, and aerospace shops actively seeking large-envelope EDM capacity.

What is a used Sodick AQ750L worth at auction?
There is no set figure. Value depends on the machine's age, hours, control condition, wire threader function, tank and seal integrity, and any included tooling. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so sellers know where the machine stands before it goes to auction.
How does the AQ750L compare to Sodick's smaller AQ537L wire EDM?
The main difference is work envelope. The AQ750L carries meaningfully more X-axis travel and a larger tank than the AQ537L, so it holds oversized mold bases and aerospace tooling that the smaller machine cannot. Both use Sodick's linear motor drive, but shops running large dies or multi-cavity mold plates specifically seek out the AQ750L's added capacity when one reaches auction.
