HC05VRE This new 5-ton, vertical micro-injection molding machine from Plustech, the North American branch of Sodick Inc., comes with a high-speed rotary table.

What's new? The machine. In December, NuTec Tooling Systems Inc., Meadville, Pa., installed the first HC05VRE in the United States. The company, which designs and builds custom automation for domestic and international clients, is collaborating with Tessy Plastics Corp., an Elbridge, N.Y., molder, to integrate a unique pick-and-place sprue picker to use with the HC05VRE in a precision medical automation project.

Benefits Very fast and precise molding. Sodick's proprietary systems enable the compact machines to achieve subsecond dry cycle times.
