The extreme acceleration of the plunger enables “downsizing" of runners and improve on the overall process.
Accuracy / repeatability and “stable molding” when using the GL30A. Small process “strike zones” are target applications for this machine.
Push the Limit with Thin Wall Applications
Up to 1,500 mm/sec (59”/sec) speed
Up to 343 MPa (49,750 psi) pressure
Small Shot Size from 2.0cc (0.07oz)
High dosing accuracy combined with an ultra-repeatable process
Quick response in injection acceleration & deceleration
Accepts standard size pellets
Optimum Injection Unit Size
High temperature heaters – standard
Wear resistant screw and barrel – standard
Optional large clamp with small injection
Optional bigger screw with smaller plunger
Shot usage from 10% of total shot or less The GL30A is also equipped with 788 F high temperature heater bands, standard, because it is common to run many engineering grade materials like PEEK, PEI, PPS, LCP, etc. Visit Sodick Two Stage Plunger Injection System - V-LINE Injection to watch a short video of the process.
