Injection mold with a side gate nozzle
An injection mold includes a mold insert frame having several openings extending in an axial direction (z). Each opening accommodates a mold insert encompassing a cavity, suitable to receive during operation melted plastic to form a plastic part. The several openings with the mold inserts are distributed around a center opening of the mold insert frame. A nozzle head is arranged in the center opening of the mold insert frame. A primary melt channel, extending in the axial direction (z), and per cavity a secondary melt channel are each interconnected at a dorsal end to the primary melt channel and at a distal end to a cavity by a nozzle tip attached to the nozzle head. Each mold insert includes a first cooling channel surrounding the cavity and being in fluid communication with a first cooling circuit across the mold insert frame.
Injection molding system with conveyor devices to insert or eject molds
An injection molding system includes an injection molding apparatus configured to perform injection molding with a mold, a conveyor apparatus configured to move the mold along a supporting plane; and a cable carrier configured to cover a cable connected to the mold, wherein a shape of the cable carrier changes for guiding the cable based on a movement of the mold by the conveyor apparatus, and wherein at least one of a first end of the cable carrier or a second end of the cable carrier are located below the supporting plane in a direction perpendicular to the supporting plane.
