The SGM Series                                          
                                       

Ultra-High Speed and Precision

For ultra-high speeds and ultra-high precision in the 55 to 385 ton range, Sumitomo’s SGM Series continues to lead the industry.

The Performance Factor

The SGM’s accumulator-assisted technology, with its fast response and complete, multi-function simultaneous operation, consistently delivers the high injection speeds, high pressures and uniform filling required for precision part reproducibility with ultra high productivity.

And, with over 10,000 SG Series machines in operation worldwide, the field proven stability of the SGM’s rigid, double-toggle clamp is your assurance of years of trouble-free, continuous high-speed operation.

The Applications Factor

Whether you’re molding closures, disposables, lenses, electrical connectors, packaging, cups, thin-wall or media products, the SGM has the applications oriented features, flexibility and performance to meet your most challenging requirements.

For superior process control capabilities, the SGM-S gives you Sumitomo’s N-VII, full-color control system and dual servo-valve closed loop hydraulics.

The SGM-H combines the full-color N-VII control with proportional valve hydraulics.

For applications requiring advanced processing capabilities, several specialized options are also available for certain model sizes of the SGM Series including:

       HP+ Option—Allows a maximum injection velocity of
        78.7 in/sec (2000 mm/sec) with 8.0 msec response
        from 10 to 90%, and a braking response time of 5 msec.,
        with maximum injection pressures up to 47,210 psi 
        (3320 kg/cm²) at these speeds
       HP Option—Allows an injection velocity of 800 mm/sec
        in .01 seconds and braking from 800 mm/sec to 0 in .005
        seconds.
       Press á—Compression/oscillating system, available from
        both the fixed and moving platens, that actuates compression
        pins in the mold during the hold stage

The Injection Unit

The SGM’s injection unit is designed for ultra-high speed, unattended operation with unequaled precision and control.

The SGM-S hydraulic system combines dual, fast response servo valves with highly sophisticated measuring and feedback devices. Injection speed, hold pressure and screw back pressure are controlled by the first servo valve for faster response for injection control. Programmable V/P switchover enhances precision filling of the cavity. The second servo valve controls screw speed RPM. Feedback from the tach-generator accurately controls screw speed for optimum plasticizing and shot size control.

SGM-S performance results for shot weight accuracy and repeatability yield a typical deviation-to-mean ratio of less than 0.02%.

Additional functions, such as anti-flash and sink mark prevention control, are available as options.

The SGM-H, a cost-effective alternative for most applications, features specially designed proportional valve hydraulics with semi-closed loop control that provide excellent response, linearity and repeatability.

Both models are equipped with a large capacity, bladder-type accumulator that:

      Provides more stable pressure control
      Eliminates the need for a special nitrogen tank
      Reduces variation due to ambient temperature changes

The oil and nitrogen pressure sensor circuit ensures consistent pressure control and smooth transition. PID control of oil temperature delivers uniform response for accurate, repeatable profiling.

The Clamp

The SGM’s field proven, double-toggle clamp design delivers reliable, high-speed operation year-in, year-out. Rigidity and durability of the clamp unit are ensured through the use of finite element analysis methods.

Faster and smoother clamp operation on the SGM is due to the self-optimizing opening speed profile, an Auto Deceleration program and a shockless cushion in the clamp cylinder. The result is fast and smooth mold opening and closing with reduced levels of vibration for cycle times that improve your productivity.

For precision clamp positioning, clamp and ejector operation are monitored by precise optical encoders—resulting in maximum mold protection and consistent molding cycles.

Less maintenance, less oil or grease use and fewer disposal problems are due to the SGM’s graphite-impregnated bushings that significantly reduce lubrication requirements.

The N-VII Control

Ease of use is another important feature of the SGM. The N-VII full-color control is field-proven for building operator confidence with it's straightforward screen designs, selectable auto-programming of initial molding conditions and QC/SPC capabilities.

Standard features include quality monitoring of 10 parameters plus multi-function production control. Real-time charts and graphs demonstrate the precision profiling and closed loop control capabilities of the SGM-S.

Other ease-of-use features of the N-VII control include:
      Large 10.4 in., full-color, TFT liquid crystal display with
       high intensity graphics
      Instant access to commonly used screens
      Internal memory storage of 40 setups (plus 20 setups
       per optional memory card)
      Overall Screen that clearly displays all the main settings
       for  injection, clamp and temperature. Molding conditions
       can be set and changed without switching to other screens.
      Metric or English units available by selection

The Reliability Factor

The SGM’s warranty is as advanced as its technology. Everything’s covered for 24 to 48 months except filters, fuses and bulbs. It takes a very high level of reliability to offer a warranty as comprehensive as this.

And you can count on the same high level of reliability from Sumitomo for training, field service, parts availability and financing.

The SGM Series. Ultra-high speed and precision, with extensive field proven reliability, that mean improved overall productivity.
