GL series Distributed through Plustech, this series of hybrid-electric, horizontal injection molding machines from Sodick includes machines ranging in size from 30 tons to 200 tons. All are equipped with Sodick's two-stage V-Line plunger technology, which separates consistent material preparation by the screw from dosing on the plunger side.
What's new? The series, which was introduced earlier this year. The 200-ton machine was added to the series within the past few weeks.
Benefits Cost-competitiveness, energy-efficiency and versatility. Designed to meet specifications across a global platform, the power-efficient machines carry competitive price tags. They can be used at 5 percent of their maximum clamping force and at less than 10 percent of their maximum barrel capacity — making the machines capable of performing a wide range of jobs.
