A method for manufacturing a stator for an electric machine, having the following steps: inserting a cast body with a nozzle from a first side of the stator into the stator, inserting a cast counterbody from a second opposing side of the stator into the stator, casting the stator with thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin by means of the nozzle, curing the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin, wherein following the curing a cast-on piece of the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin is sheared off using a rotational movement of the cast body or cast counterbody.

A method and apparatus (14) for assembling a reinforcement web (12) for use with a wind turbine blade (10) are provided. A pre-formed flange structure (20) to be integrated with laminate layers (58, 60) to form the reinforcement web (12) is clamped into position against a mould end surface (76) using one or more locating clamps (16). The locating clamps (16) include first and second clamp blocks (80, 82) that are shaped to provide an external profile that avoids resin collection and bridging during resin injection molding, while allowing for clamping to be applied to the flange structure (20) with an easily assembled and disassembled removable engagement of the clamp blocks (80, 82). The locating clamp (16) prevents undesirable dislodgment of the flange structure (20) during the assembly process for the reinforcement web (12), and without necessitating the use of complex or expensive molding equipment or processes.

A gear manufacturing method, the gear including an annular gear portion including teeth on an outer periphery, an annular support portion provided on an inner peripheral surface of the gear portion and supporting the gear portion, and a core portion provided inside the support portion, the method includes: a support portion molding step of molding the support portion by disposing the gear portion and the core portion in an annular mold and filling a resin between the gear portion and the core portion; and a support portion cooling step of cooling the support portion molded in the support portion molding step, a radial gap between the teeth of the gear portion and the mold before the support portion molding step is set to be smaller than a radial shrinkage amount of the support portion in the support portion cooling step.

A method of manufacturing a medical component includes molding a first member of the medical component from an elastomeric material. The first member includes a first end defined by a closed base wall, an opposing second end which is an open end, a sidewall extending between the first and second ends, and an internal recess to receive at least one electronic device. The method further includes positioning the electronic device within the recess of the first member to form an assembly, such that the electronic device is received in an inverted open cavity defined by the sidewall. The method further includes applying a protective film on the second end of the first member, such that the protective film covers an exposed surface of the electronic device. In addition, the method includes overmolding the assembly with the elastomeric material to form the medical component having the electronic device embedded therein.

The present invention relates to a male component or punch for a mould unit for producing a vehicle saddle.

The present invention relates to a male component or punch for a mould unit for producing a vehicle saddle.

A getter assembly is provided and includes a first canister, an internal can including getter, and a second canister. The internal can is disposable in the first canister to occupy a first position at which the getter is hermetically sealable and second positions at which the getter is exposed to an exterior environment. The second canister is engageable with the first canister to drive movements of the internal can between the first position and the second positions following activation and hermetic sealing of the getter.

Provided herein is a wind turbine blade mold system having built in precision pins to locate structural components (e.g. spar caps) during layup of composite segments. A plurality of pins can be inserted through the layers of composite layups and into apertures within the mold, with spar caps positioned against the pins to ensure precise positioning, thereby preventing/inhibiting movement of the spar cap relative to the mold. A plurality of pins can be inserted through the layers of composite layups and into apertures within the mold, with cams attached to the pins and moveable to engage spar caps to ensure precise positioning of the spar cap, as well as preventing any drift during subsequent operations. The pins can remain embedded within the final molded part.

The invention relates to a mould for moulding a component with one or more inserts, the mould comprising a mould body for defining in part the shape of the component, and at least one insert holder for holding an insert within the mould body. Each insert holder is movably supported such it can move relative to the mould body in a direction of shrinkage of the component, and wherein the mould further comprises a biasing means to bias each insert holder to a first position relative to the mould body. The invention also relates to a method of moulding.

A method of manufacturing a medical component includes preparing a first sheet of an elastomeric material, arranging at least one electronic device in the first sheet of elastomeric material to obtain an elastomeric preform, and arranging the elastomeric preform in a mold and molding the elastomeric preform therein to cure the elastomeric material and form the medical component having the at least one electronic device embedded therein.
