A mold tool is provided that includes plural mold sub-volumes configured to receive a sealant, a mold channel in fluid communication with the mold sub-volumes, a sealant injection port in fluid communication with the mold channel, vacuum application ports in fluid communication with the mold sub-volumes, and an air control system. The air control system is operably coupled to the mold sub-volumes and the mold channel, and is configured to apply a vacuum to the mold sub-volumes via the vacuum application ports.

There is provided a mold conveying guide device for use in replacement of a mold by conveying the mold into and out of a mold fixing position in an injection molding machine. A connecting arm is attached to the mold and projects in a direction in which the mold is conveyed into the mold fixing position. A guide roller is rotatably supported at a tip end portion of the connecting arm. The guide roller is configured to rotate while being in contact with a mold attaching surface of at least one of a fixed platen and a movable platen, and configured to guide the mold such that the mold can come close to or move away from the at least one of the fixed platen and the movable platen.

A device to thermoform a composite component and injection over-moulding a shape on one face of the composite component in a mould. The mould includes a paired shaping die and punch between them defining a closed cavity. The shaping die is mounted on a transfer device. The transfer device includes a loading/unloading station to load/unload a blank onto/from the shaping die, and an injection and mould-closure station to close the mould and to inject between the punch and the shaping die. The shaping die includes a network of inductors to heat its moulding surface and a cooling network to cool the moulding surface by a circulation of a fluid. The loading/unloading station includes a placement device to place a radiating element facing the moulding surface of the shaping die.

A mold conveyance roller unit includes: a rotatable roller main body on which a mold is to be placed; a roller support member that rotatably supports the roller main body; a base member to which the roller support member is attached together with the roller main body in a manner capable of vertical motion; and a resilient member that is fitted between the base member and the roller support member to elastically press the roller support member toward above the base member.

An injection mold, in particular for encapsulating rotors of electric machines, has a mold, wherein the mold has an arrangement of mold segments. The arrangement forms, along a longitudinal axis, a cavity for a component to be arranged. An exchange unit is provided, which is designed to remove at least one mold segment from and/or insert at least one mold segment into the arrangement, with the result that a size of the cavity can be changed.

An apparatus for molding a physical body comprising at least two mold materials, wherein the apparatus comprises a first mold tool and a second mold tool configured for defining a mold volume in between in which the physical body is moldable by supplying the at least two mold materials, and a supply unit configured for separately supplying the at least two mold materials to the mold volume, wherein at least part of at least one of the first mold tool and the second mold tool is movable to thereby increase the dimension of the mold volume after having supplied the first mold material to the mold volume and before and/or during supplying the second mold material to the mold volume.
