A method for injection molding of a weld line free minus power lens element comprises injecting a melt of thermoplastic material at a temperature higher than a glass transition temperature (Tg) of the thermoplastic material in an initial molding cavity delimited by two facing mold inserts, wherein the melt of thermoplastic material comprises at least one UV absorber. During the injecting, the two facing mold inserts are moved toward one another to define a final molding cavity whose volume is less than that of the initial molding cavity. After cooling and disassembling of the two facing mold inserts, the weld line free minus power lens element is recovered. One of the two facing mold inserts comprises a flat surface facing the initial molding cavity, thereby to form a flat surface on one side of the weld line free minus power lens element. The other of the two facing mold inserts comprises a convex surface facing the initial molding cavity, thereby to form a concave surface on an opposite side of the weld line free minus power lens element.

A pressurisation and heating device for restoring an insulation system of a power cable, the pressurisation and heating device including: a first part including a first channel configured to receive a portion of the power cable, a second part including a second channel configured to receive a portion of the power cable, wherein the pressurisation and heating device is configured to be set in a closed state in which the first channel faces the second channel thereby forming a heating chamber extending from a first end to a second end, opposite the first end, of the pressurisation and heating device, wherein the pressurisation and heating device is configured to be pressurised to obtain a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure inside the heating chamber when the power cable is arranged sealed in the heating chamber, wherein the pressurisation and heating device has an at least 20 cm long axially extending section which is primarily made of material at most having a conductivity of the order of moo S/m at 20° C.

A fluid cooled mold plate is disclosed. The fluid cooled mold plate has a front side, a rear side, and a perimeter that extends between its front and rear sides. A cooling chamber is formed within the mold plate. The cooling chamber has a front wall, a rear wall, and a perimeter wall that extends between the front and rear walls. An inlet fluid duct extends from a first side of the mold plate perimeter to a first end of the cooling chamber and an outlet fluid duct extends from a second side of the mold plate perimeter to a second end of the cooling chamber. The cooling chamber is occupied by a turbulence generating dispersion mesh that is secured between the front and rear walls the cooling chamber.

An assembling apparatus that has a mold in which a second unit opposes a first unit and that is configured to assemble an assembled product from a plurality of parts. The first unit includes first, second, and third movable portions, which comprise, respectively, a plurality of first forming portions, a plurality of second forming portions, and a plurality of third forming. The second unit comprises a fourth movable portion, a fourth forming portion, a fifth forming portion, a sixth forming portion, and a plurality of assembling portions. The fourth movable portion is configured to move so as to switch at least one assembling portion opposed to at least one first forming portion, at least one other assembling portion opposed to the at least one second forming portion, and at least one remaining assembling portion opposed to at least one third forming portion.

An injection molding apparatus is provided for use with a mold unit having a water line. The apparatus includes a mold base plate. The plate has a compartment configured to contain the mold unit, and further has a water line passage with an open inner end at the compartment. A first section of the water line passage includes the open inner end. A second section of the water line passage reaches away from the first section. The plate has a slot along which the first section of the water line passage is open for insertion of the water line transversely into the first section. The plate covers the second section of the water line passage such that the second section is closed to insertion of the water line transversely into the second section.

Provided is a mold structure with a fast replacement of a mold core, including an upper mold base and a lower mold base corresponding to the upper mold base. The upper mold base is provided with at least one upper mold base, wherein the bottom of the upper mold base is provided with a push-pull device, the push-pull device includes a pressure cylinder and a push-pull rod capable of expansion and contraction and the upper mold core is driven by the expansion and contraction of the push-pull rod, and is relatively separated from or embedded in the upper mold base, and wherein the bottom of the upper mold core is provided with a chute, and the upper mold core is operatively coupled with or separated from the push-pull rod by the chute. Consequently, the action of replacing the mold core is performed.

An injection molding device comprising an injection mold with a middle mold part arranged in a first direction between a first outer mold part and a second outer mold part. The first outer mold part and the second outer mold part are linearly movable with respect to the middle mold part in the first direction between an open position and a closed position of the injection mold. The middle mold part is turnable about a rotation axis and comprises a side face which comprises a first cavity suitable to temporarily receive a first component. The first cavity communicates with a first half of a second cavity. At least one of the outer mold parts comprises a second half of the second cavity which interacts with the first half to form the second cavity to receive a liquefied first plastic material to form a second component interconnected to the first component.

A reusable mold for injection molding and molding method includes a reusable mold member, a mold cavity defined in the mold member, and at least one heat sink recess defined in the mold member for accommodating a heat sink material. The mold member is mounted on a liquid cooled mold platen. Heat is rapidly removed from the mold cavity when the mold member is used to injection mold a molded part through the heat sink material and through an interface between the heat sink material and the liquid-cooled mold platen. The reusable mold injection molds a molded part and rapidly removes heat from the mold cavity via the heat sink material accommodated in the at least one heat sink recess and through the liquid-cooled platen.
