There is provided a structure for positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face in an injection molding machine. The structure comprises a positioner configured to connect the first mold part to part of the injection molding machine, wherein the positioner is adjustable to position the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The structure further comprises controller executable instructions executable in a controller with which to resolve an alignment parameter of the mold using a feedback signal from a sensor. Further provided is a method of operating an injection molding machine which method comprises the steps of positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face using a positioner and appreciating an alignment parameter of the mold with reference to a feedback signal from a sensor.

Mold positioning device

Molding machine part

Disclosed herein, amongst other things, are structure and steps for positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face in an injection molding machine. In particular, the structure and steps may include a positioner that is configured to connect the first mold part to part of the injection molding machine, wherein the positioner is adjustable to position the first mold part across the mold mounting face.

Disclosed herein, amongst other things, is a method of transferring a molded article from a moveable mold half of a mold into a receptacle of a post-mold tool. The method includes positioning the moveable mold half relative to the post-mold tool to position the molded article thereon closer to the receptacle and retracting the moveable mold half while simultaneously extending a stripping device to eject the molded article from the moveable mold half and to transfer it into the receptacle.

Method of transferring a molded article

According to embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a method and system for operating an injection molding machine. For example, a molding system () to manufacture a molded article () in a mold-cavity system () by using a molding material () is provided. The system () including pressure-control system () coupled with the system (); and controller () operatively coupling to system (), controller () having controller-usable memory () tangibly embodying set of controller-executable instructions () to direct controller (), including mold-unpack instructions (), including instructing controller () to control system () to reduce, after solidification, at least in part, of material () being located in a nub region () of system (), internal pressure of material () received in system () while system () remains isolated from stream of flowable-molding material, beyond any reduction of internal pressure in material () resulting from cooling of material (), so that reduction in internal pressure of material () is enough to permit safe opening of system () while permitting safe extraction of article ().

Method and system for operating an injection molding machine

Injection molding machine apparatus and method with moving platen injection and ejection actuation is provided for an injection molding machine clamp assembly configured to clamp a relatively movable platen to a relatively stationary platen. Injector structure is coupled to the relatively movable platen and is configured to actuate a molten material injection structure when the relatively movable platen and the relatively stationary platen are closed. Ejector structure is coupled to the relatively movable platen and is configured to actuate a molded article ejection structure when the relatively movable platen and the relatively stationary platen are open.
