20150151472 | ELECTRONIC CYCLE COUNTER - A monitor for maintaining a mold cycle count with an actuator sending a count signal to a processor following a mold operation. The monitor further includes a timer having an active mode and a sleep mode. The processor generates an average cycle time and an activity percentage of the mold taking into account active and sleep periods of the mold. | 06-04-2015 |
20120294968 | ALIGNMENT INTERLOCK FOR MOLDS AND DIES - An alignment interlock for reciprocating tooling that includes a female lock having a central engagement area and a corresponding male lock having a profile shaped to matingly engage with the central engagement area. A plurality of particle rings are preferably formed on an engagement surface of the profile and an engagement ramp having a polished, radiused lead-in is preferably formed at a leading edge of the profile. | 11-22-2012 |
20120235325 | COLLAPSING CORE PART RETAINER SLEEVE - An injection molding tool having a collapsible core which is movably mounted with respect to a mold plate. The mold plate is movably mounted with respect to a stripper plate that can be used to eject or remove the molded part from the injection molding tool. A retainer is fixedly positioned with respect to the mold plate so that it contacts at least a portion of a molded part when in a mold position. The retainer can be a sleeve with a through opening within or through which the collapsible core is mounted. | 09-20-2012 |
20110316180 | MOLD MONITORING - A monitor for maintaining a mold cycle count and other mold operation data and a corresponding system that generates a first remote record of the mold cycle data and a second remote record of the mold cycle data, the second remote record comprising a lesser, different and/or non-confidential version of the first remote record. The first remote record and the second remote record may then be coordinated among an OEM manufacturer, a moldmaker and a molder. | 12-29-2011 |
20110045122 | DEVICE FOR DEMOULDING NEGATIVES IN PLASTIC INJECTION - The invention relates to a device for demoulding negatives in plastic injection, which is coupled to means for ejecting a plastic injection mould and includes a guide bushing that can be attached to the die plate of the movable part of the mould, inside which extends a counter-mould which moulds the negative and is formed by a guide runner and a head that can be lowered to demould the negative. The guide bushing contains a projection which pushes against the side of the head as the counter-mould moves forward, so that the head is lowered sideways and the negative is released. | 02-24-2011 |
20110020490 | Demolding device for injection molding part with undercut - An apparatus for releasing a part that has an undercut, particularly in an injection molding system. A flange is moveably mounted with respect to a moveable part of an injection mold. A head is moveably mounted with respect to the moveable part. A joint, such as a ball-and-socket joint, is used to connect the head with respect to the flange. The head has a shoulder that contacts a stop which is longitudinally fixed with respect to the moveable part, when the mold is in a closed position. A bias element can be used to normally urge the head in a lateral direction with respect to the moveable part. | 01-27-2011 |
20100320632 | ELECTRONIC CYCLE COUNTER - A monitor for maintaining a mold cycle count with an actuator sending a count signal to a processor following a mold operation. The monitor further includes a timer having an active mode and a sleep mode. The processor generates an average cycle time and an activity percentage of the mold taking into account active and sleep periods of the mold. | 12-23-2010 |
20100221380 | Expandable cavity for injection molding tool - An injection molding tool having a first section moveable with respect to a second section. In a first position, the first section contacts the second section along a parting line and forms a cavity. An expandable cavity part is moveably mounted with respect to the second section. In a closed condition, the expandable cavity part is in a retracted or molding position. The expandable cavity part can be moved away from the molding position or the closed condition to a release position or an expanded condition with allows access to molded part or other article. A core pin is either moveably mounted with respect to the expandable cavity part or is in a fixed position with respect to the expandable cavity part. | 09-02-2010 |
