An apparatus for taking out a molded product that is capable of suppressing displacement vibration of an attachment in a shorter time than ever without using a large-scaled electric actuator. An active controller starts active control after the amplitude of displacement vibration of the take-out head as an attachment has been attenuated to a predetermined setting by means of positioning control by a servomotor or when the amplitude can be considered as having been attenuated to the predetermined setting. The positioning control is first performed by the servomotor, and then the active control is performed by the active controller using an electric actuator which is light in weight and small in size.

An apparatus for taking out a molded product that is capable of suppressing displacement vibration of an attachment in a shorter time than ever without using a large-scaled electric actuator. An active controller performs active control in conjunction with the positioning, control by the servomotor. At the beginning of the active control, the positioning control is primarily performed by the servomotor, and then the active control is positively performed by the active controller using an electric actuator. Compared with when only the active control is performed for vibration suppression, a lighter and smaller electric actuator can be employed.

A cooling and retaining pin (1) for cooling, by air blowing, and retaining, by air suction, a plastic preform, the pin comprising a body (2), defining a longitudinal axis and having a first opening (5) at a first end thereof, coaxial to said longitudinal axis and adapted to be connected to a handling station; a movable element (3) adapted to slide at least partially inside said body; at least one air passage gap provided at a second end of the body or at said first end; wherein the movable element (3) is adapted to move from a first position, to which a first air passage section corresponds, to a second position, to which a second air passage section corresponds, which is smaller than said first section, so as to adjust a blowing air flow during the cooling step and a suction air flow during the step of retaining the preform.

The invention relates to an injection molding device (1) for producing plastic parts (2) consisting of one or more material components. The injection molding device (1) comprises an injection mold (3) having a center part (5) that is rotatable about a first axis of rotation (4), which center part is arranged between a first and a second mold half and which can be moved relative to said mold halves in a first direction. The center part (5) has cavities (7) on the lateral surfaces (6). A retaining device (10) is used to retain the center part (5) in the injection molding device (1). A transfer device (16) is arranged laterally next to the center part (5) at least in an open position and is used to transfer plastic parts (2) into a storage means (2).

An apparatus for taking out a molded product is provided, the apparatus being capable of suppressing displacement vibration of an attachment mounted at a leading end of each of one or more approach frames by active control using one or more electromagnetic actuators. The apparatus includes an active vibration suppressing system. One or more electromagnetic actuators are mounted to the attachment of each approach frame or each approach frame.

Disclosed herein, amongst other things is a component of a molding system (e.g. mold component, post-mold component, etc.) having a heat dissipater that is configured to impart a profiled heat removal rate on a selected portion of a molded article that generally matches a heat distribution therein.

A cooling plate assembly includes (a) a cooling plate having a plate front surface; (b) an air channel extending within a thickness of the cooling plate; (c) a plate bore extending into the cooling plate from the plate front surface for providing fluid communication between the air channel and a cavity of a cooling tube mountable to the cooling plate; and (d) a valve within the plate bore. The valve is movable between a first position in which a first air flow passage extending within the plate bore is open for conducting air from the cavity to the air channel, and a second position in which the first air flow passage is obstructed to reduce air flow between the cavity and the air channel, and in which a second air flow passage extending within the plate bore is open for conducting air from the air channel to the cavity.

In an injection molding system, a holding force changing means reduces a holding force to a predetermined level or less if a predetermined or higher load is detected by an external load detection means after a molded article is transported to a work area of an operator by a molded article transport device. Thus, the operator can easily take out and inspect the molded article.

A handling device (1) for tubular or elongate bowl-shaped workpieces such as pipette tips (4) or cups, said workpieces preferably being transported or being able to be transported on a workpiece carrier (T) during the production of said workpieces until packaging, the workpiece carrier (T) having receiving places (5) for the workpieces, which receiving places are arranged in a grid relative to each other, preferably with the stipulation that faulty workpieces located on the workpiece carrier (T) can be detected, and preferably with the stipulation that a removal station (25) is provided, by means of which the faulty workpieces can be removed from the receiving places (5) of a workpiece carrier (T), receiving places (5) thus being freed up, freed-up receiving places (5) of the workpiece carrier (T) being able to be loaded with faultless workpieces by means of the handling device, the handling device comprising a refill magazine (2), which has magazine places (3) arranged next to each other, each magazine place having a holding element (7) that can be moved up and down and that is used to secure and to receive and release a faultless workpiece, with the additional stipulation that each magazine place (3) comprises a guide tube (6), in which the up and down movement of the holding element (7) occurs, the holding element (7) being able to be moved, together with a secured workpiece, into the guide tube (6), and that an acceleration apparatus (V) is provided, by means of which the workpiece can be accelerated out of the guide tube (6) and can be moved to a receiving place (5) of the workpiece carrier (T).
