A stack mold carrier for supporting a center mold section of an injection molding machine, including a platen assembly, is disclosed. The stack mold carrier includes a carrier base which includes a mold support portion for coupling with and supporting the center mold section. A linkage assembly is pre-installed on the carrier base and a first restraint system is provided for releasably retaining the linkage assembly in a first, non-operational position wherein the linkage assembly is fixed relative to the carrier base such that the stack mold carrier can be disposed on the platen assembly as an assembled unit. The stack mold carrier includes a second restraint system for releasably retaining the stack mold carrier on the platen assembly prior to connection with the center mold section.

The disclosure is directed to an injection molding device (1) comprising an injection molding machine and an injection mold (2) arranged therein. At least one first and at least one second outer mold half (3, 4) are arranged in a movable manner relative to each other in a first direction (x). A central part (5) that is arranged there between and comprise s a lower part (6) an upper part (7) which are arranged rotatable about a rotational axis (8). The lower part (6) and the upper part (7) are separated from each other by a bearing arrangement (9) arranged between the upper part (7) and the lower part (6).

What is presented is a mold support structure in a single dual injection molding machine for plastic part formation having at least two injection units. The mold support structure comprises at least one pair of platens located on opposite sides. Each pair of platens is separated by a plurality of reinforcement structures that provide support in the direction in which clamp and injection pressure is applied to the pair of platens during plastic part formation.

This invention relates to a handling device for the removal of plastic injection-molded parts, designed as pipette tips, medical reaction vessels or contact-lens molds, from an injection mold tool (11), having a removal gripper having a plurality of receiving positions (1-32; 104, 105) for receiving one injection-molded part from each of the cavities in each instance.

The invention relates to a retaining device for a rotatable center block in an injection molding device, comprising a lower rotary plate rotatable about an axis of rotation and driven by a motor, the lower rotary plate being used for retaining the rotatable center block. The retaining device comprises a lower cross member, which is mounted movably in the longitudinal direction (x) on guide rails while supported on a machine bed of the injection molding device by means of first bearing blocks. The retaining device can have two bearing blocks, by means of which the lower cross member is supported in the circumferential direction relative to lower beams of the injection molding device. For a further increase in efficiency, the center block has a main body made of a material of lower density than a coupling plate operatively connected thereto.
