摘要:
The present invention provides a platen of a molding system. The platen comprises a force receiving structure, an intermediate structure and a mold support structure. The force receiving structure has four respective tie bar accommodation corners, each corner defines a tie bar channel. The respective tie bar accommodation corners can resist, at least in part, coplanar disorientation relative to the mold support structure.

A lock (130) of a molding system (100) having a rod (121) and a platen (122), the lock comprising a lock member (510) associated with the rod (121), the lock member (510) including a row of rod-interrupted teeth (238) extending from the rod (121) and a rod groove (236) extending along the row of rod-interrupted teeth (238), and a complementary lock member (512) including a row of sleeve-interrupted teeth (248) extending from a sleeve (230), the sleeve (230) coupled to the platen (122); and a sleeve groove (246) extending along the row of sleeve-interrupted teeth (248), the row of rod-interrupted teeth (238) of the lock member (510) is rotatably engagable with the row of sleeve interrupted teeth (248) of the complementary lock member (512), the complementary lock member (512) being engagable with the lock member (510) at a position located proximate to a relatively lower flex zone (514) of the platen (122).
摘要:
There is provided a structure for positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face in an injection molding machine. The structure comprises a positioner configured to connect the first mold part to part of the injection molding machine, wherein the positioner is adjustable to position the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The positioner is configured to perform one or more of: (i) lift and lower the first mold part across the mold mounting face, (ii) laterally shift the first mold part across the mold mounting face, and (iii) rotate the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The positioner includes a plurality of positioners configured to connect the first mold part with the injection molding machine, wherein the plurality of positioners are selectively operable to coordinate positioning of the first mold part on the mold mounting face.

Disclosed herein, amongst other things, is a method of transferring a molded article from a moveable mold half of a mold into a receptacle of a post-mold tool. The method includes positioning the moveable mold half relative to the post-mold tool to position the molded article thereon closer to the receptacle and retracting the moveable mold half while simultaneously extending a stripping device to eject the molded article from the moveable mold half and to transfer it into the receptacle.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a polymer treatment device (100) for providing a treatment to a polymer bed (4) having granules (2) of a polymer that are in a solid- state, a computer-readable medium associated with a controller thereof, and an associated molding system (1000). The polymer treatment device 100 includes a polymer supporter (110) with which to support, in use, the polymer bed (4), a radiant heater (120) with which to heat, in use, the polymer bed (4), a first fluid dispenser (140-1) with which to dispense, in use, a first treatment fluid (102-1), and a first fluid vent (150-1) with which to vent, in use, the first treatment fluid (102-1), along with a diffusate from the polymer bed (4) potentially entrained therewith. Furthermore, the first fluid dispenser (140-1) and the first fluid vent (150-1) are arranged to promote a flow of the first treatment fluid (102-1) through the polymer bed (4) in between the granules (2) thereof.
摘要:
