Excellent Plasticization & Injection Performance.
Equipped with a highly stable and highly reliable plasticization and injection unit realized by Sodick’s original V-LINE® which contributes to accurate and highly repeatable resin injection, and a hydraulic accumulator mechanism that enables high speed injection with dynamic responsiveness at a high level.

Original Mold Open/Close & Clamping Mechanism.
Adopts both a mold open/close mechanism which realizes accurate position control by an electronic system, and a mold clamping mechanism that reproduces an accurate mold clamping force by a hydraulic system. Equipped with a direct pressure mold clamping system which utilizes the merits of the electro-hydraulic hybrid system to the utmost.

Total Servo Drive.
Further improved energy saving performance by the use of an electric servo motor for the hydraulic pump drive, in addition to the electric servo motor drive for the mold open/ close mechanism and ejection mechanism.
