V-LINE® TWO STAGE PLUNGER INJECTION SYSTEM
Separation of Plasticizing and Injection Sets Sodick Apart
Our two-stage plunger injection system (V-LINE® System) is designed on three critical principles: consistent plasticizing heat profile, constant filling volume and constant holding pressure. These principles work in perfect harmony to achieve ultra-precision injection molding.
• Available from 20 ton to 75 ton
• High yield insert molding
• Counter balanced clamping mechanism
Vertical with Single Station
Reel-to-Reel Molding Ready
• High dosing accuracy combined with an ultra-repeatable process
• Quick response in injection acceleration & deceleration
• Accepts standard size pellets
Advanced injection for micro features with extremely tight tolerances

ACCEPTS standard size pellets
The material solidification is very quick (short fill time) so that packing / holding stage is not effective. It is easy to detect a non-fill area or flash area. To fill a thin-wall area, it requires a higher injection pressure, which depends on dosage volume. The machine performance is extremely important in these instances. The development of a proprietary new valve Super High Response Injection Valve pushes the envelope in micro molding. The new linear direct double motor valve is ideal for thin wall precision molding applications.
• 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

To optimize your molding process, it is best to optimize the injection unit size. Sodick separates the plasticizing and injection processes, so you can select a larger size screw for recovery time, and the smaller injection unit for accurate metering and injection profiling. Molders can also choose the small injection unit for larger molds, such as a hot runner or valve gated mold.

HYBRID DIRECT CLAMPING MECHANISM
The Ultra-Precision Hybrid Clamping System utilizes both an electric servomotor and hydraulic clamping cylinder drive. This proven hybrid system features simple design and easy maintenance and uses the central servomotor and ball screw for mold opening and closing. After clamping locks engage the central ram, a central hydraulic “pancake” cylinder generates direct clamping pressure. This superior system requires less maintenance, and is cleaner overall.

Plunger & linear motor technology
LINEAR MOTOR DRIVEN
Quick response acceleration and deceleration is key. When you consider injection capability, an important factor is not max injection speed, but how quickly it reacts, from 0 to max and max to 0. Sodick uses the linear motor driven servo valve to increase its injection response. With this valve, the injection gains high acceleration and deceleration performance, as well as control of speed and pressure.

LSR SILICONE MOLDING
As the need for LSR molding increases, so do the requirements for better performing injection molding machines to meet the demands for more complex shapes and high accuracy LSR parts. LSR parts are used in medical, automotive, aerospace, electrical and industrial applications due to its flexibility over a wide range of temperatures, compressions sets, viscosity and chemical resilience. Sodick provides stable shot-to-shot volume and weight delivered by a dedicated “no check-ring” injection system with a dedicated design for LSR machines with the V-LINE Plunger SIL-PRO series. Sodick’s breadth of experience in ultra-precision thermoplastic injection molding machines provides outstanding performance for a wide range LSR molding needs.
