Sodick Success Story
Plustech Presents
Plustech Accudyn Case Study | Engineering Simulation Performance & Workflow Optimization
Accudyn Products, Inc. expanded its global footprint with a new Costa Rica operation and needed the same precision, repeatability, and confidence it had built with Sodick equipment in Erie, Pennsylvania.
OVERVIEW
Building on a proven history with Sodick equipment, Accudyn put their trust in Plustech to equip the new facility and support a smooth, reliable launch from day one.
As Accudyn Products, Inc. expanded into Costa Rica, maintaining the highest standards of precision for medical component production was critical.
The Challenge
From Pennsylvania to Costa Rica. After years of success at its U.S. headquarters in Erie, PA, Accudyn needed to bring that same level of precision and consistency into a new team, process, and production environment on an accelerated timeline.
With production quality directly tied to end-use performance, repeatability and reliability were non-negotiable.
The Results
By standardizing on Sodick technology and leveraging Plustech's support, Accudyn successfully launched its Costa Rica operation with speed and confidence:
-
Consistent, high-precision output aligned with medical manufacturing requirements
-
Accelerated production ramp-up, meeting customer demand within weeks
-
Repeatable performance across machines and processes
-
Strong operational foundation for future scaling
Maintaining tight tolerances required for medical components
Ensuring process consistency across a new operation
Minimizing variability during startup and validation
Establishing a scalable foundation for future growth
Key Priorities for Accudyn
Consistent material viscosity
Stable, repeatable processing
Precise shot control
The Upshot
By partnering with Plustech and building on their success with Sodick technology, Accudyn launched with a high degree of control, speed, and confidence. The story underscores the value of combining advanced injection molding technology with a partner who can support implementation, startup, and long-term performance.
For Accudyn, expanding into Costa Rica required more than installing new equipment. It required replicating a standard of precision essential to medical manufacturing.
The Solution
Given their prior success with Sodick equipment, Accudyn again turned to Plustech as a trusted partner to support this expansion
They selected Sodick injection molding machines featuring V-LINE® two-stage technology, well-suited for high-precision, medical-grade applications. This combination of proven technology and on-the-ground partnership allowed Accudyn to establish a controlled, high-performance production environment from the outset.
