There is provided a preform, and a mold stack for producing the preform. For example, there is provided a preform suitable for subsequent blow-molding. The preform includes a neck portion, a gate portion, and a body portion, extending between said neck portion, and said gate portion. The gate portion, has a conical shape. In an example embodiment, the conical shape is selected such that to homogenize angle of refraction of rays, used during a re-heating stage of a blow-molding process.

Preform and a mold stack for producing the preform

A preform and a mold stack for producing the preform. For example, there is provided a preform suitable for subsequent blow-molding. The preform comprises a neck portion; a gate portion; and a body portion extending between said neck portion and said gate portion; the gate portion having a conical shape, wherein the conical shape terminates at a vestige portion having a size that substantially corresponds to the size of an orifice of a hot runner nozzle used in manufacturing the preform. In an example embodiment, the conical shape is selected such that to substantially homogenize angle of refraction of rays used during a re-heating stage of a blow-molding process.

An injection molding machine, including: a human machine interface being configured to provide graphical representation of a status of the injection molding machine; a machine controller being configured to: (i) provide operational control of the injection molding machine, (ii) operationally couple with the human machine interface, the machine controller having; (i) a machine-controller processor; and (ii) machine-controller memory being coupled with the machine-controller processor; an injection unit being configured to plasticizing and inject a molding material; a tie-bar clamping mechanism being associated with the injection unit; and a mold assembly being supported by the tie-bar clamping mechanism, the mold assembly being coupled with the injection unit, the mold assembly being adapted to receive the molding material from the injection unit so that a molded article may be molded, and the mold assembly including: a mold assembly body; and a mold memory device being coupled with the mold assembly body, and being operatively coupled with the machine controller so that data being stored in the mold memory device may be accessed by the machine controller, the mold memory device including; mold set-up data being related with the molded article to be molded in the mold assembly.

Intelligent molding environment and method of configuring a molding system

A method and apparatus for handling preforms from an injection molding machine whereby an array of molded articles received from the mold is reconfigured into a single row to assist in downstream auxiliary processing.
