Used Sodick Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Sodick Co., Ltd. was founded in 1976 in Yokohama, Japan, by engineer Toshihiko Furukawa, whose early research into electrical discharge machining laid the groundwork for a company that would grow into a global precision machinery manufacturer. From its origins as an EDM specialist, Sodick expanded its technology portfolio over the following decades, entering the injection molding machine market in 1988 with the development of its patented V-Line two-stage plunger system. Today the company operates production facilities in Japan, Thailand, and China and maintains sales and service subsidiaries across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Sodick's injection molding machines are built around the proprietary V-Line system, which physically separates the plasticization and injection processes to deliver a consistent shot volume and holding pressure on every cycle. The vertical injection molding lineup spans the VRE rotary-table series — including the TR20VRE, TR40VRE, TR75VRE, TR100VRE, TR150VRE, and TR200VRE — and the single-station EHV series such as the TR20EHV, TR40EHV, and TR75EHV. High-cycle micro-molding variants like the HC03VRE and HC05VRE extend the range down to 3 and 5 tons for ultra-fast rotary-table applications. All vertical models use a hybrid direct-pressure clamping system that combines an electric servo motor for mold open/close with a hydraulic cylinder for final clamping force.

Sodick vertical injection molding machines serve industries where dimensional consistency and material cleanliness are non-negotiable. Medical device manufacturers rely on the V-Line system's check-ring-free design to minimize polymer degradation in long-term implantable and disposable components. Electronics and connector producers value the machines' micron-level shot repeatability for miniaturized housings and seals, while automotive and optical component makers use the rotary-table configurations for high-volume insert molding and overmolding of precision parts.

Buyers seeking used Sodick vertical injection molding machines are drawn to the platform's mechanical durability and the continued availability of spare parts through Plustech Inc., Sodick's North American injection molding subsidiary. The V-Line injection unit has no check ring to wear or replace, which reduces long-term maintenance costs and keeps older machines competitive in precision applications. The hybrid clamping architecture is straightforward to service, and Sodick's established North American support network means that consumables and technical assistance remain accessible well into a machine's second decade of operation.
