    摘要: A device for in-mold labeling an injection-molded product comprises a label magazine. The label magazine comprises a plurality of label storage stations and a support platform for supporting the plurality of label storage stations. Each label storage station has a bottom and a number of vertically extending bars to define a label stacking column. The support platform has a top surface and the bottom of the label storage station having a lower surface facing the top surface. For each label storage station the support platform comprises three identical pneumatically operated adjusting units positioned in a line adjacent one another. Each pneumatically operated adjusting unit comprises a cam disc having a spiral shaped groove. The lower surface of the bottom of the label storage station comprises three cam disc followers positioned adjacent one another. The central cam disc follower is arranged to protrude in a left or right hand portion of the spiral shaped groove of the cam disc of the corresponding pneumatically operated adjusting unit for movement to the left or right when seen in the direction of the line. The two outermost cam disc followers are arranged to protrude into a top portion of the spiral shaped groove of the cam disc of the corresponding pneumatically operated adjusting unit for movement of the bottom of the label storage station in directions transverse to the line.

    摘要: The magnetic handling systems comprise a bladder and a magnetic carriage system. The bladder is configured to be received within a stringer interior volume of a hat stringer and comprises a magnetic insert having a plurality of magnetic walls, each configured to align with a respective wall portion of the hat stringer. The magnetic carriage system comprises a carriage having a magnetic head that comprises a bracket and a plurality of magnetic sources supported by the bracket. Each magnetic source is configured to magnetically couple with a respective magnetic wall of the magnetic insert to produce an attractive magnetic force therebetween. The methods comprise disposing a bladder having a plurality of the magnetic inserts within the hat stringer, magnetically engaging a plurality of the magnetic heads with the plurality of magnetic inserts, and conforming the hat stringer by moving at least one magnetic head relative to another magnetic head.
