Title: The Innovative Contributions of Donald Meinert
Introduction
Donald Meinert is a notable inventor based in Munich, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of injection molding technology. His innovative designs have improved the efficiency and functionality of injection molding machines.
Latest Patents
Meinert holds a patent for a nozzle contact device. This device is designed for guiding and clamping the injection nozzle of an injection unit onto an injection mold. The invention features a linear drive that allows for the back-and-forth movement of the injection unit. A guide carriage, articulated to the injection unit, is driven by this linear drive. The unique aspect of this invention is that the axis of rotation of the articulation between the guide carriage and the injection unit extends horizontally. This axis of rotation and the injection axis are arranged on parallel planes, preferably on the same horizontal plane. The design also allows for height adjustment of the rear part of the injection unit, particularly the screw mechanism. This innovation ensures that the nozzle contact force is introduced into the injection unit without causing a bending moment, preventing any tilting between the injection nozzle and the sprue bush of the injection mold.
