An apparatus for the manufacture and unloading of preforms for the manufacture of plastic containers includes a device for the injection molding of preforms and a device for the cooling and extraction of the preforms from the molding device, and further includes a device for the selective extraction of a predetermined subset of preforms supported by the unloading plate in an orderly manner along at least one pickup direction. The apparatus also includes a component for the orderly transfer of the predetermined subset of preforms to a control and inspection device adapted to perform at least one control on the predetermined subset of preforms.

An attachment for a washing or rinsing agent bottle. The attachment is made from a main component and at least one auxiliary component in a multicomponent injection casting method, wherein a seal element is molded using the auxiliary component. The main component or the auxiliary component has a marker which causes a contrast between the auxiliary component and the main component under UV light or IR light. The invention also relates to a method for producing such an attachment.

Non-time dependent measured variables are used to effectively determine an optimal ejection time of a part from a mold cavity. A system and/or approach may first measure at least one non-time dependent variable during an injection molding cycle. The part is ready to be ejected from the mold upon the measured variable reaching a threshold value indicative of, for example, a part temperature dropping below an activation temperature.

A resin molding has a first surface and a second surface, wherein the second surface includes a rib, and wherein the first surface includes a glossy portion and a non-glossy portion.

A method for forming a preform or part including the following: dispensing an initial amount of an additive and a thermoplastic resin into an injection molding machine; forming the preform or part by operating a molding machine to inject the thermoplastic resin and the additive at the initial amount into a mold of the preform or part; measuring realized visual parameters of the preform or part; comparing the realized visual parameters to the target visual parameters and determining whether the realized visual parameters are within a predetermined acceptable range of the target visual parameters; if the realized visual parameters are outside the predetermined acceptable range of the target visual parameters, adjusting the initial amount of the additive to a modified amount estimated to achieve the target visual parameters; and forming an additional preform or part by operating the injection molding machine to inject the thermoplastic resin and the additive at the modified amount into the mold of the preform or part.

The invention belongs to the technical field of integrated machining of lenses and provides an integrated injection-molding method for a lens and a lens formed by the integrated injection-molding method to overcome the defect of poor sealing performance of lenses in the prior art caused by separate assembly of the lenses during production. In the invention, a high-transparency polycarbonate material is purified to remove impurities and moisture; then, an integrated mold is debugged; a material plasticization and filling process, a temperature holding process and a cooling process are accurately controlled by means of an injection molding machine to realize integrated formation of a lens and a product body; and after being formed, the product body is processed, and performance is detected. In this way, the sealing performance of the lens is improved.
