An injection molding machine includes an injection apparatus configured to perform an injection operation of a material and a mold clamping apparatus configured to mold the material injected from the injection apparatus. Here, the injection apparatus includes a screw, a piston connected to the screw, and a hydraulic apparatus configured to drive the piston in an axial direction. On the other hand, the mold clamping apparatus includes a movable platen to which a first mold can be attached, a fixed platen to which a second mold can be attached, and an electric drive unit configured to move the movable platen in a mold closing direction or a mold opening direction with respect to the fixed platen.

An injection mold capable of planing and cutting gates in an inside thereof and a planing and cutting method are provided. The injection mold includes a blade fixed block arranged between a moving mold and a fixed mold. Blades arranged on the blade fixed block and configured for cutting off gate condensed-material. The mold includes ejectors for ejecting out the gate condensed material and the blade fixed block. Runners formed between the blade fixed block and the fixed mold. Cut holes for communicating runners and gates are formed in blades. Ejector holes for penetrating the ejectors are formed in portions of the blade fixed block which correspond to bottoms of runners. The blade fixed block moves relative to the moving mold in a mold opening direction. The moving mold is provided with a limiting mechanism for limiting the blade fixed block after injection molding parts are separated from a cavity.

An ejecting apparatus of an injection molding mold, including an ejecting plate on a lower die of the injection molding mold, the ejecting plate configured to be movable in a vertical direction, at least one main ejecting block coupled to a fixed core on the lower die, the at least one main ejecting block configured to be movable in the vertical direction and connected to the ejecting plate, a sub-ejecting block coupled to the at least one main ejecting block, the sub-ejecting block configured to be movable in the vertical direction, and an operating force applier coupled to the at least one main ejecting block and configured to apply operational force to the sub-ejecting block through at least one movable core slidably coupled to the fixed core and the ejecting plate.

A hydraulic advancement/postponement assembly is operably coupled to a first ejector plate and to a second ejector plate. The hydraulic advancement/postponement assembly includes a first hydraulic cylinder having a first housing defining a first volume and a first piston, the first housing connected to the first ejector plate and the first piston connected to a fixed element. The hydraulic advancement/postponement assembly includes a second hydraulic cylinder disposed in fluid communication with the first hydraulic cylinder, the second hydraulic cylinder having a second housing defining a second volume and a second piston, the second housing connected to the first ejector plate and a second piston connected to the second ejector plate.

A method and device for producing an optimized neck contour on preforms below the neck which is optimal for subsequent stretch blow molding. The geometry has a significantly thinner wall thickness than the neck itself. The preform can only be produced in the injection molding tool, when axial channels are used on the point or the vanes produce the thin points on the preform during injection molding. The thin-walled geometry on the preform can be produced outside of the mold during post-cooling by embossing. The preform is then removed in a cooled receiving sleeve and is cooled in the body by intensive contact cooling while no cooling contact is made with the preform neck due to the initial position of the embossing element. Due to the reheating of the neck they can be mechanically deformed into a new geometry advantageous for blow molding and thus wall thickness can be influenced.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for manufacturing a transaction card. The disclosed methods and apparatuses may be used to form a transaction card frame within a mold. The transaction card frame may include one or more recessed portions formed within a first surface of the transaction card frame. The one or more recessed portions may be configured for affixing one or more electronic components.

A die casting machine is provided that includes a controller, a casting mold, and a material injection system. A method for operating the die casting machine is provided that includes detecting a downtime event using a controller, determining a length of time between a beginning of the downtime event and an end of the downtime event, determining a number of preheat castings to produce in a preheat cycle, and transmitting a signal instructing the casting mold and the material injection system to produce the number of preheat castings.

The invention relates to a method and a device for demolding annular elastomeric molded parts from a mold core of an injection mold which has an inner mold core (1) and outer mold jaws and in which the molded parts (9) are produced parallel to one another in annular mold cavities (5) of the mold core (1). According to the invention, after removal of the outer mold jaws, the mold core (1), which contains the produced elastomeric molded parts (9) on the surface thereof, is set at such a high rotational speed about the longitudinal axis thereof that the internal diameter of the elastomeric molded parts (9) is increased because of centrifugal force to such an extent that the molded parts (9) are released from the mold cavities (5) and can be removed from the mold core (1) in the axial direction (10) while they are still rotating.

Provided is a resin molding apparatus that can suppress a molding problem caused by a variation in a thickness of an object to be molded or suppress a variation in a thickness of a resin molded part, and can perform a mold releasing operation. A resin molding apparatus includes: a molding mold having one mold and the other mold; one mold wedge mechanism; and one mold cavity block driving mechanism. In a state that a height position of one mold cavity block is set using the one mold cavity block driving mechanism and a position in a direction away from the other mold in the one mold cavity block having been moved to the height position is fixed to be limited using the one mold wedge mechanism, a mold releasing operation can be performed using the one mold wedge mechanism and the one mold cavity block driving mechanism.

A method for injection molding comprises forming a set of first articles in a mold of an injection molding machine and forming a set of second articles in the mold of the injection molding machine. The method includes transferring the set of first articles from the mold to a first set of first receivers of a tooling plate, and then moving the first set of first receivers to align with the set of second articles. Thereafter the set of second articles is transferred from the mold toward the first set of first receivers and into assembled condition with the set of first articles held in the first set of first receivers.
